    摘要: Embedded trace substrate (ETS) with embedded metal traces having multiple thicknesses for integrated circuit (IC) package height control, and related IC packages and fabrication methods. The IC package includes a die that is coupled to a package substrate to provide signal routing paths to the die. The IC package also includes an ETS that includes metal traces embedded in an insulating layer(s) to provide connections for signal routing paths for the IC package. To control (such as to reduce) the height of the IC package, the embedded metal traces embedded in an insulating layer in the ETS are provided to have multiple thicknesses (i.e., heights) in a vertical direction. The embedded metal traces in the ETS whose thicknesses affect the overall height of the IC package by being coupled to interconnects external to the ETS in the vertical direction, can be reduced in thickness to control IC package height.

    摘要: Multi-sided antenna modules employing antennas on multiple sides of a package substrate for enhanced antenna coverage, and related antenna module fabrication methods. The multi-sided antenna module includes an integrated circuit (IC) die(s) disposed on a first side of the package substrate. The multi-sided antenna module further includes first and second substrate antenna layers disposed on respective first and second sides of the package substrate. The first substrate antenna layer includes a first antenna(s) disposed on the first side of the package substrate adjacent to the IC die(s). The second substrate antenna layer includes a second antenna(s) disposed on the second side of the package substrate opposite of the first side of the package substrate. In this manner, the multi-sided antenna module, including antennas on multiple sides of the package substrate, provides antenna coverage that extends from both sides of the package substrate to provide multiple directions of coverage.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) package is described. The IC package includes a package substrate, composed of a substrate core, a first power rail on a first surface of the substrate core, and a second power rail on a second surface of the substrate core. The IC package includes a logic die supported by the second power rail on the second surface of the substrate core. The IC package includes passive devices within the substrate core. Each of the passive devices has a first terminal and a second terminal opposite the first terminal. The first terminal of each of the passive devices is directly coupled to the first power rail, and the second terminal of each of the plurality of the passive devices is directly coupled to the second power rail. The IC package includes package bumps on the second power rail on the second surface of the substrate core.
