The present disclosure provides packages and methods for fabricating packages. A package may comprise a wafer-level package (WLP) layer comprising first and second WLP contacts and first and second conductive pillars disposed on the first and second WLP contacts. Each conductive pillar may comprise a surface opposite the WLP contact that forms an array pad. The array pads may have different sizes. The package may further comprise a mold over the WLP layer and at least partially surrounding the conductive pillars, wherein the mold compound and the first array pads form a substantially planar LGA contact surface that is configured to couple the package to a land grid array.

The interconnect portion includes a plurality of interconnects and at least one dielectric layer. The interconnect structure is located over the interconnect portion. The interconnect structure includes an inner interconnect, a dielectric layer coupled to the inner interconnect, and an outer conductive layer coupled to the dielectric layer. The outer conductive layer is configured to operate as a shield for the inner interconnect.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to an integrated circuit having a stacked embedded passive substrate (EPS) structure formed therein. In particular, a substrate may have a cavity formed therein and the stacked EPS structure may include multiple passive components formed in the cavity to provide separate electrical paths for decoupling of the integrated circuit. Furthermore, the multiple passive components may each have two respective terminals such that the multiple passive components may support different voltage domains. Among other things, compared to conventional die-side and/or land-side passive components, the stacked EPS structure may advantageously reduce a z-axis height of the integrated circuit, reduce manufacturing costs, improve performance due to shorter electrical paths, and improve design routing through x-axis and y-axis space savings.
Abstract:
Copper (Cu) grain boundaries can move during a thermal cycle resulting in the Cu grain position being offset. Such Cu pumping can disturb the surface of a bottom metal, and can physically break a dielectric of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. By capping the bottom metal with an anchoring cap, Cu pumping is reduced or eliminated.
