    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing a bridge between integrated circuit (IC) chips. In an embodiment, the bridge device comprises a semiconductor substrate having disposed thereon contacts to couple the bridge device to two IC chips. Circuit structures and photonic structures of a bridge link are integrated with the substrate. The structures include an optical waveguide coupled between an electrical-to-optical signal conversion mechanism and an optical-to-electrical conversion mechanism. The bridge device converts signaling from an electrical domain to an optical domain and back to an electrical domain. In another embodiment, optical signals received via different respective contacts of an IC chip are converted by the bridge device, where the optical signals are multiplexed with each other and variously propagated with the same optical waveguide.

    Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes an impedance matching interconnect having a first end and a second end. The impedance matching interconnect includes an interface trace having a first width at the first end and a second width at the second end, the first width less than the second width. The impedance matching interconnect further includes a first dielectric layer adjacent the interface trace; a first reference plane adjacent the first dielectric layer; at least one via adjacent the first reference plane; and a second reference plane adjacent the at least one via, the at least one via to couple the first reference plane and the second reference plane. A first distance between the interface trace and the first reference plane is less than a second distance between the interface trace and the second reference plane.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for improving the impedance matching of semiconductor package substrates by incorporating one or more magnetic build-up layers proximate relatively large diameter, relatively high capacitance, conductive pads formed on the lower surface of the semiconductor package substrate. The one or more magnetic layers may be formed using a magnetic build-up material deposited on the lower surface of the semiconductor package substrate. Vias conductively coupling the conductive pads to bump pads on the upper surface of the semiconductor package substrate pass through and are at least partially surrounded by the magnetic build-up material.
