A chip package and method for fabricating the same are provided that includes a near-die integrated passive device. The near-die integrated passive device is disposed between a package substrate and an integrated circuit die of a chip package. Some non-exhaustive examples of an integrated passive device that may be disposed between the package substrate and the integrated circuit die include a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a coil, a balum, or an impedance matching element, among others.

Examples of the present disclosure provide example Chip Scale Packages (CSPs). In some examples, a structure includes a first integrated circuit die, a shim die that does not include active circuitry thereon, an encapsulant at least laterally encapsulating the first integrated circuit die and the shim die, and a redistribution structure on the first integrated circuit die, the shim die, and the encapsulant. The redistribution structure includes one or more metal layers electrically connected to the first integrated circuit die.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit device having a vertical connection interfaces for coupling stacked components are provided that improve communication between the stacked components. The techniques described herein allow for increased signal connection density while reducing potential for crosstalk. For example, a ground to signal ratio of connections between components in a vertical interface configured to carry ground signals relative to connections configured to carry data signals within a bank of connections has an edge to center gradient which reduces the amount of ground connections needed to meet crosstalk thresholds, while increasing the amount of signal connections available for communication between components across the vertical interface.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention generally provide an electronic device comprising an electrical interconnect component that includes an electrical trace. The electrical trace has geometric characteristics that serve to suppress the skin effect over a large band of frequency components. More specifically, the electrical trace has a thickness that is less than a skin depth for a particular chosen frequency component. By making the electrical trace have a thickness that is less than the skin depth, the current flows through substantially the entire cross-sectional area of the electrical trace for all frequencies up to the chosen frequency component, which reduces the effects associated with the skin effect.

Various noise isolation structures and methods for fabricating the same are presented. In one example, a substrate for chip package is provided. The substrate includes a core region, top build-up layers and bottom build-up layers. The top build-up layers are formed on a first side of the core region and the bottom build-up layers are formed on a second side of the core region that is opposite the first side. Routing circuitry formed in the bottom build-up layers is coupled to routing circuitry formed in the top build-up layers by vias formed through the core region. A void is formed in the bottom build-up layers. The void is configured as a noise isolation structure. The void has a sectional area that is different in at least two different distances from the core region.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device system comprises an integrated circuit (IC) die. The IC die is configured to operate in a first operating mode during a first period, and a second operating mode during a second period. The first period is associated with enabling an element of the IC die and a first amount of voltage droop. The second period occurs after the first period and is associated with a second amount of voltage droop. The second amount of voltage droop is less than the first amount of voltage droop.
