Abstract:
An interposer to form a frame around a bottom chip bonded to a package substrate and to standoff a top chip or package for clearance of the bottom chip. The interposer has pins arrayed on a first side which are soldered to the package substrate for reduced interposer z-height and pads arrayed on a second side to which the top package (chip) is bonded. During assembly, the interposer pins may be pressed against pre-soldered pads and the solder reflowed to join the interposer to the package substrate. A top package (chip) is then joined to an opposite side of the interposer to integrate the first and second chips.
Abstract:
Electronic assemblies including coreless substrates and their manufacture using electrolytic plating, are described. One method includes providing a core comprising a metal, and forming a dielectric material on the core. The method also includes forming vias in the dielectric material, the vias positioned to expose metal regions. The method also performing an electrolytic plating of metal into the vias and on the metal regions, wherein the core is electrically coupled to a power supply during the electrolytic plating of metal into the vias and delivers current to the metal regions. The method also includes removing the metal core after the electrolytic plating of metal into the vias. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
