A substrate embedded electronic component package includes a core member having a cavity in which a metal layer is disposed on a bottom surface thereof, an electronic component disposed in the cavity, an encapsulant filling at least a portion of the cavity and covering at least a portion of each of the core member and the electronic component, and a connection structure disposed on the encapsulant and including a first wiring layer connected to the electronic component. A wall surface of the cavity has at least one groove portion protruding outwardly from a center of the cavity, and the groove portion extends to a same depth in the core member as a depth of the cavity.

Semiconductor die assemblies with decomposable materials, and associated methods and systems are disclosed. In an embodiment, a semiconductor die assembly includes a memory controller die carrying one or more memory dies attached to its first side. The semiconductor die assembly also includes a biodegradable structure attached to its second side opposite to the first side. The biodegradable structure includes a conductive material and an insulating material, both of which are biodegradable and disintegrate in a wet process. The biodegradable structure can be configured to couple the memory controller die with an interface die. In this manner, when the biodegradable structure disintegrates (e.g., dissolve) in the wet process, the memory controller carrying the memory dies can be separated from the interface die to reclaim the memory controller with the memory dies and the interface die.

A bottom side interposer provides a structurally balanced chip carrier module to reduce thermal warp and increase package robustness. The bottom side interposer is attached to the bottom of a chip carrier which carries semiconductor chips on the top side of the chip carrier. The top side of the chip carrier typically includes a top side interposer between the semiconductor chips and the chip carrier. The bottom side interposer has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is similar to the chips and top side interposer, or tailored to have a CTE intermediate to the chips and the chip carrier. Pads on the bottom side interposer may be plated or fitted with solder balls to complete the module so the module can be connected to a printed circuit board.
