Abstract:
An interconnect topology that includes vertical trench routing in a substrate is disclosed. In one embodiment, the interconnect comprises a substrate having a plurality of layers including a first ground plane layer; a pair of signal conductors that form a differential signal pair, each conductor of the pair of signal conductors having a first portion and a second portion, the second portion extending from the first portion into at least one of the plurality of layers, wherein width of the second portion is less than width of the first portion; and wherein the first ground plane layer is only a first partial layer and has a first void region that is closer to the pair of signal conductors than the first partial layer.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a coreless mounting substrate and an interposer disposed on the coreless mounting substrate with a chip disposed in a recess in the interposer and upon the coreless substrate. The apparatus may include an inter-package solder bump in contact with an interconnect channel in the interposer, and a top chip package including a top package substrate and a top die disposed on the top package substrate. The top package substrate is in contact with the inter-package solder bump.
