A method, system, and apparatus for improved IC device packaging is described. In an aspect, an (IC) device package includes an IC die having at one or more contact pads, each contact pad located at a corresponding hotspot on a surface of th28e IC die. The package also includes a thermally conductive interposer which is thermally coupled to the IC die at the contact pads. In another aspect, an underfill material fills a space between the IC die and the interposer. The interposer may also be electrically coupled to the IC die. In an aspect, the interposer and the IC die are coupled through thermal interconnects or “nodules.”
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) package is disclosed that contains a plurality of encapsulated layers stacked upon each other without the use of a substrate(s). Each of the encapsulated layers contains an encapsulating material, a die, an interconnecting interface, and vertical vias. The encapsulating material forms the surfaces of an encapsulated layer and encapsulates the die. The interconnecting interface provides an interface at a surface of the encapsulated layer for the die to electrically connect to other dies or external components. The vertical vias provide a conduction path between interconnecting interfaces of different encapsulated layers.

A magnetic core plane is formed on the first insulator layer, and a second group of conductive traces are embedded in a second insulator layer formed on the magnetic core plane. A second magnetic shell is formed on the second insulator layer, and the first and second group of conductive traces are conductively coupled by using conductive vias.

An exemplary implementation of the present disclosure includes a stacked package having a top die from a top reconstituted wafer situated over a bottom die from a bottom reconstituted wafer. The top die and the bottom die are insulated from one another by an insulation arrangement. The top die and the bottom die are also interconnected through the insulation arrangement. The insulation arrangement can include a top molding compound that flanks the top die and a bottom molding compound that flanks the bottom die. The top die and the bottom die can be interconnected through at least the, top molding compound. Furthermore, the top die and the bottom die can be interconnected through a conductive via that extends within the insulation arrangement.
