Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses, wherein the method includes creating a surface mount socket pin for integrated circuit packaging. The method couples a first conductive element to a second conductive element, wherein the closed loop conductor is configured to provide two paths between the first conductive element and second conductive element, wherein a central region of the closed loop conductor is configured to engage with a plurality of symmetrical bumps in a mold to secure the closed loop conductor, wherein the closed loop conductor is elastic.
Abstract:
A hybrid package having a processor module disposed on a substrate and an auxiliary module disposed on a patterned lid. The auxiliary module may be a memory module, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) module, and/or other suitable module, that are located in the package along with the processor module. Having the auxiliary module in the package with the processor module reduces the noise at the solder bump between the processor module and the substrate. Having the auxiliary module in the package with the processor module also allows other modules to be added to the package without increasing the area of the package.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first integrated circuit chip, a second integrated circuit chip, a coupled inductor system, and a semiconductor package. The first integrated circuit chip is connected to a substrate and configured to process digital data. The second integrated circuit chip is configured to manage power for the first integrated circuit chip. The coupled inductor system is embedded in the substrate, connected to the second integrated circuit chip, and has a first inductor configured to be magnetically coupled to a second inductor. The semiconductor package is configured to encapsulate the first integrated circuit chip and the second integrated circuit chip.
