An electronic assembly includes a plurality of electronic die arranged into shingles, each shingle having a multiple offset stacked die coupled by cascading connections. Each shingle is arranged in a stack of shingles with alternate shingles having die stacked in opposite directions and offset in a zigzag manner to facilitate vertical electrical connections from a top of the electronic assembly to a bottom die of each shingle.

A semiconductor structure is disclosed. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate an elastomer coupled to the substrate and a plurality of bondfingers on the elastomer. The substrate, the elastomer and the bondfingers are configured to cooperatively expand and retract.

Shrinkable package assembly

Disclosed is a die. The die may include a material layer, a plurality of vias, and a plurality of metal channels. The material layer may have a top side and a backside. The top side may include a plurality of pad connections. The plurality of vias may extend through the material layer from the top side to the backside. The plurality of metal channels may be in contact with the backside. Each of the plurality of metal channels may be in electrical communication with at least one of the plurality of pad connections and at least one of the plurality of vias.

BGA packages with a LGA package extension. First lands on a substrate are populated with solder balls, while only solder paste is dispensed on second lands that are surrounded by the first lands. Differences in solder stand-off may accommodate non-planarity in a package or the insertion of an LGA extension component, such as an IC or one or more discrete devices. Where an LGA extension component is attached to the second lands, solder paste may be further dispensed on third lands located on a package-side of the extension component. A BGA package is then attached to the first lands and third lands. The larger volume BGA solder connections maintaining mechanical reliability, particularly where the solder ball interconnects form a perimeter surrounding the low-volume solder interconnects.

Land grid array package extension

A bond-wire system including a wire bond that is deflected above a dielectric ridge at a die edge. The deflected wire bond allows for both a lowered Z-profile and a reduced X-Y footprint. The bond-wire system may include a stacked-die configuration where a stacked die is wire bonded and the stacked-die bond wire is deflected above a dielectric ridge at the stacked die edge.

A microelectronic package may be fabricated having a microelectronic die stack attached to a microelectronic substrate, wherein a first microelectronic die within the microelectronic die stack includes an opening or 'window' formed therethrough. The first microelectronic die may be in electronic communication with a second microelectronic die within microelectronic die stack and/or in electrical communication with a microelectronic substrate upon which the microelectronic die stack may be attached, wherein the electronic communication may be created with a bond wire which extends through the opening or 'window' in the first microelectronic die.

Substrates, assemblies, and techniques for enabling multi-chip flip chip packages are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, a package substrate may include a first side face; a second side face, wherein the second side face is opposite to the first side face along an axis; a portion of insulating material extending from the first side face to the second side face; wherein a cross-section of the portion of insulating material taken perpendicular to the axis has a stairstep profile. Solder pads may be disposed at base and step surfaces of the portion of insulating material. One or more dies may be coupled to the package substrate (e.g., to form a multi-chip flip chip package), and in some embodiments, additional IC packages may be coupled to the package substrate. In some embodiments, the package substrate may be reciprocally symmetric or approximately reciprocally symmetric.

Substrates, assembles, and techniques to enable multi-chip flip chip packages

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for a semiconductor package with thermal fins, in accordance with some embodiments. In embodiments, a package assembly includes a die and a mold compound disposed on the die, to encapsulate the die. The package may further include a thermal solution including one or more thermal fins attached to the mold compound at their respective ends. The thermal fins may be disposed substantially flat on a top surface of the mold compound at a first temperature, and rise away from the top surface of the mold compound in response to a change of temperature to a second temperature, to reach an enclosure that surrounds the package assembly, to provide direct heat conductivity between the die and the enclosure. The second temperature may be greater than the first temperature. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Semiconductor package with thermal fins

A handheld device may include a magnetic convection cooling system, which may include a fluid chamber that is in thermal communication with electronic circuitry of the handheld device. The fluid chamber may be closed and may contain a substantially non-gaseous first fluid and a substantially non-gaseous second fluid, wherein first fluid may include a magnetic property different from a magnetic property of second fluid. At least one electromagnet may be selectively activated to move the first and second fluids within the fluid chamber to provide convective cooling of the electronic circuitry.
