Abstract
An embodiment semiconductor package assembly may include an interposer, an integrated passive device electrically coupled to a first side of the interposer, an underfill material portion formed between the integrated passive device and the first side of the interposer, and a dam protruding from the first side of the interposer and configured to constrain a spatial extent of the underfill material portion. The dam may include a first portion extending above a surface of the first side of the interposer and a second portion embedded below the surface of the first side of the interposer. The dam may be formed in a dielectric layer that also includes a component of a redistribution interconnect structure. The dam may further be electrically isolated from the redistribution interconnect structure and may be configured to form a connected or disconnected boundary of a two-dimensional region of the first side of the interposer.
