An offset interposer includes a land side including land-side ball-grid array (BGA) and a package-on-package (POP) side including a POP-side BGA. The land-side BGA includes two adjacent, spaced-apart land-side pads, and the POP-side BGA includes two adjacent, spaced-apart POP-side pads that are coupled to the respective two land-side BGA pads through the offset interposer. The land-side BGA is configured to interface with a first-level interconnect. The POP-side BGA is configured to interface with a POP substrate. Each of the two land-side pads has a different footprint than the respective two POP-side pads.

Offset interposers for large-bottom packages and large-die package-on-package structures

A method of forming a device associated with a via includes forming an opening or via, and forming at least a pair of conducting paths within the via. Also disclosed is a via having at pair of conducting paths therein.

Passive within via

Embodiments of the present invention describe a semiconductor package having an embedded die. The semiconductor package comprises a coreless substrate that contains the embedded die. The semiconductor package provides die stacking or package stacking capabilities. Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention describe a method of fabricating the semiconductor package that minimizes assembly costs.

Semiconductor package with embedded die and its methods of fabrication

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.

Pin grid interposer

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method of stiffening a semiconductor coreless package substrate to improve rigidity and resistance against warpage. An embodiment of the method comprises disposing a sacrificial mask on a plurality of contact pads on a second level interconnect (package-to-board interconnect) side of a coreless package substrate, forming a molded stiffener around the sacrificial mask without increasing the effective thickness of the substrate, and removing the sacrificial mask to form a plurality of cavities in the molded stiffener corresponding to the contact pads. Embodiments also include plating the surface of the contact pads and the sidewalls of the cavities in the molded cavities with an electrically conductive material.

Method of embedding passive component within via

A semiconductor package comprises a first package; a second package that is provided on the first package; and a first interconnect that comprises a bump to couple to the first package and a base material layer to cover the bump, wherein the second package is supported on the base material layer that is coupled to the bump.

Semiconductor device with package to package connection

A method for forming an plurality of paths on a substrate includes drilling an opening for a via to a depth to expose a first pad and a second pad, lining the opening with a conductive material, and insulating a first portion of the lining in the opening from a second portion of the lining in the opening to form a first electrical path contacting the first pad and a second electrical path contacting the second pad.
