There are disclosed herein various implementations of semiconductor packages having an interposer configured for magnetic signaling. One exemplary implementation includes a die transmit pad in an active die for transmitting a magnetic signal corresponding to a die electrical signal produced by the active die, and an interposer magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) pad in the interposer for receiving the magnetic signal. A sensing circuit is coupled to the interposer MTJ pad for producing a receive electrical signal corresponding to the magnetic signal. In one implementation, the sensing circuit is configured to sense a resistance of the interposer MTJ pad and to produce the receive electrical signal according to the sensed resistance.

There are disclosed herein various implementations of semiconductor packages including an interposer without through-semiconductor vias (TSVs). One exemplary implementation includes a first active die situated over an interposer. The interposer includes an interposer dielectric having intra-interposer routing traces. The first active die communicates electrical signals to a package substrate situated below the interposer utilizing the intra-interposer routing traces and without utilizing TSVs. In one implementation, the semiconductor package includes a second active die situated over the interposer, the second active die communicating electrical signals to the package substrate utilizing the intra-interposer routing traces and without utilizing TSVs. Moreover, in one implementation, the first active die and the second active die communicate chip-to-chip signals through the interposer.
