Embodiments disclosed herein include electronic packages. In an embodiment, the electronic package comprises, a package substrate, an interposer on the package substrate, a first die cube and a second die cube on the interposer, wherein the interposer includes conductive traces for electrically coupling the first die cube to the second die cube, a die on the package substrate, and an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) in the package substrate, wherein the EMIB electrically couples the interposer to the die.

Interconnect architecture with silicon interposer and EMIB

A processor package module comprises a substrate, one or more compute die mounted to the substrate, and one or more photonic die mounted to the substrate. The photonic die have N optical I/O links to transmit and receive optical I/O signals using a plurality of virtual optical channels, the N optical I/O links corresponding to different types of I/O interfaces excluding power and ground I/O. The substrate is mounted into a socket that support the power and ground I/O and electrical connections between the one or more compute die and the one or more photonic die.

Processor package with universal optical input/output

Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes for improving off-package edge bandwidth by overlapping electrical and optical serialization/deserialization (SERDES) interfaces on an edge of the package. In other implementations, off-package bandwidth for a particular edge of a package may use both an optical fanout and an electrical fanout on the same edge of the package. In embodiments, the optical fanout may use a top surface or side edge of a die and the electrical fanout may use the bottom side edge of the die. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Techniques for mounting a semiconductor chip in a circuit board assembly includes using different buildup materials on opposite sides of a core to optimize stress in the first level interconnect structure (between the chip and core) and/or the second level interconnect structure (between the core and circuit board). The core can be, for example, ceramic, glass, or glass cloth-reinforced epoxy. In one example, the first side of the core has one or more layers of conductive material within a first buildup structure comprising a first buildup material. The second side of the substrate has one or more layers of conductive material within a second buildup structure comprising a second buildup material different from the first buildup material. In another example, an outermost layer of the second buildup structure is a ductile material that functions to decouple stress in the interconnect between the substrate and a circuit board.

Those methods/structures may include a device disposed on first side of substrate and an array of conductive interconnect structures disposed on a second side of the first substrate. The conductive interconnect structures of the array may comprise a solder material, wherein the solder material comprises a low temperature alloying element concentration of less than about 5 percent. A second substrate is coupled to the array of conductive interconnect structures.

A microelectronic package may be fabricated with at least one compliant external bond pad having at least one integrated spring structure for mitigating the effects of warpage of the microelectronic package during attachment to an external substrate. An embodiment for the microelectronic package may include a microelectronic package substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the microelectronic package substrate includes a void defined therein that extends into the microelectronic package substrate from the second surface thereof, and a compliant bond pad suspended over the void, wherein the compliant bond pad includes a land portion and at least one spring portion, and wherein the at least one spring portion extends from the compliant bond pad land portion to an anchor structure on the microelectronic package substrate second surface.

A warp controlled package includes a substrate that assumes a warped configuration according to the application of heat. At least one device is coupled along the substrate. A plurality of electrical contacts extend between at least the device and the substrate. One or more counter moment elements are coupled with the substrate. The one or more counter moment elements include a passive configuration and a counter moment configuration.

Die warpage is controlled for the assembly of thin dies. In one example, a semiconductor die has a back side and a front side opposite the back side. The back side has a semiconductor substrate and the front side has components formed over the semiconductor substrate in front side layers. A backside layer is formed over the backside of the semiconductor die to resist warpage of the die when the die is heated and a plurality of contacts are formed on the front side of the die to attach to a substrate.
