Glass substrates having transverse capacitors for use with semiconductor packages and related methods are disclosed. An example semiconductor package includes a glass substrate having a through glass via between a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A transverse capacitor is located in the through glass via. The transverse capacitor includes a dielectric material positioned in a first portion of the through glass via, a first barrier/seed layer positioned in a second portion of the through glass via, and a first conductive material positioned in a third portion of the through glass via.

Glass substrates having transverse capacitors for use with semiconductor packages and related methods

The present disclosure is directed to an electroless plating process using a panel basket for holding semiconductor panels comprising a plurality of metal pads and shielding the metal pads from contaminants and over-etching and under-etching caused by the contaminants.

Electroless plating process

Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques directed to embedding capacitors in through glass vias within a glass core of a substrate. In embodiments, the through glass vias may extend entirely from a first side of the glass core to a second side of the glass core opposite the first side. Layers of electrically conductive material and dielectric material may then be deposited within the through glass via to form a capacitor. the capacitor may then be electrically coupled with electrical routings on buildup layers on either side of the glass core. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Capacitors in through glass vias

An electronic substrate may be fabricated by forming a base substrate and forming an inductor extending through the base substrate, wherein the inductor includes a magnetic material layer and a barrier layer, such that the barrier layer prevents the magnetic material layer from leaching into plating solutions during the fabrication of the electronic substrate. In one embodiment, the barrier material may comprise titanium. In another embodiment, the barrier layer may comprise a polymeric material. In still another embodiment, the barrier layer may comprise a nitride material layer. The inductor may further include a plating seed layer on the barrier layer and a conductive fill material abutting the plating seed layer.

Electronic substrates having embedded inductors

Embodiments include package substrates and a method of forming the package substrates. A package substrate includes a dielectric having a cavity that has a footprint, a resistor embedded in the cavity of the dielectric, and a plurality of traces on the resistor, where a plurality of surfaces of the resistor are activated surfaces. The resistor may also have a plurality of sidewalls which may be activated sidewalls and tapered. The dielectric may include metallization particles/ions. The resistor may include resistive materials, such as nickel-phosphorus (NiP), aluminum-nitride (AlN), and/or titanium-nitride (TiN). The package substrate may further include a first resistor embedded adjacently to the resistor. The first resistor may have a first footprint of a first cavity that is different than the footprint of the cavity of the resistor. The resistor may have a resistance value that is thus different than a first resistance value of the first resistor.

Selective deposition of embedded thin-film resistors for semiconductor packaging

Embodiments disclosed herein include electronic packages with embedded magnetic materials and methods of forming such packages. In an embodiment, the electronic package comprises a package substrate, where the package substrate comprises a plurality of dielectric layers. In an embodiment a plurality of passive components is located in a first dielectric layer of the plurality of dielectric layers. In an embodiment, first passive components of the plurality of passive components each comprise a first magnetic material, and second passive components of the plurality of passive components each comprise a second magnetic material. In an embodiment, a composition of the first magnetic material is different than a composition of the second magnetic material.

Package architecture with tunable magnetic properties for embedded devices

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for providing an apparatus with a substrate provided with plasma treatment. In some instances, the apparatus may include a substrate with a surface that comprises a metal layer to provide signal routing in the apparatus. The metal layer may be provided in response to a plasma treatment of the surface with a functional group containing a gas (e.g., nitrogen-based gas), to provide absorption of a transition metal catalyst into the surface, and subsequent electroless plating of the surface with a metal. The transition metal catalyst is to enhance electroless plating of the surface with the metal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
