Embodiments include an electronic package that includes a dielectric layer and a capacitor on the dielectric layer. In an embodiment, the capacitor comprises a first electrode disposed over the dielectric layer and a capacitor dielectric layer over the first electrode. In an embodiment, the capacitor dielectric layer is an amorphous dielectric layer. In an embodiment, the electronic package may also comprise a second electrode over the capacitor dielectric layer.

Substrate integrated thin film capacitors using amorphous high-k dielectrics

An integrated circuit (IC) package substrate, comprising a magnetic material embedded within a dielectric material. A first surface of the dielectric material is below the magnetic material, and a second surface of the dielectric material, opposite the first surface, is over the magnetic material. A metallization level comprising a first metal feature is embedded within the magnetic material. A second metal feature is at an interface of the magnetic material and the dielectric material. The second metal feature has a first sidewall in contact with the dielectric material and a second sidewall in contact with the magnetic material.

In-plane inductors in IC packages

An inductor can be formed in a coreless electronic substrate from magnetic materials and/or fabrication processes that do not result in the magnetic materials leaching into plating and/or etching solutions/chemistries, and results in a unique inductor structure. This may be achieved by forming the inductors from magnetic ferrites. The formation of the electronic substrates may also include process sequences that prevent exposure of the magnetic ferrites to the plating and/or etching solutions/chemistries.

Coreless electronic substrates having embedded inductors

A coreless semiconductor package comprises a plurality of horizontal layers of dielectric material. A magnetic inductor is situated at least partly in a first group of the plurality of layers. A plated laser stop is formed to protect the magnetic inductor against subsequent acidic processes. An EMIB is situated above the magnetic inductor within a second group of the plurality of layers. Vias and interconnections are configured within the horizontal layers to connect a die of the EMIB to other circuitry. A first level interconnect is formed on the top side of the package to connect to the interconnections. BGA pockets and BGA pads are formed on the bottom side of the package. In a second embodiment a polymer film is used as additional protection against subsequent acidic processes. The magnetic inductor comprises a plurality of copper traces encapsulated in magnetic material.

Methods/structures of forming embedded inductor structures are described. Embodiments include forming a first interconnect structure on a dielectric material of a substrate, selectively forming a magnetic material on a surface of the first interconnect structure, forming an opening in the magnetic material, and forming a second interconnect structure in the opening. Build up layers are then formed on the magnetic material.
