The present disclosure relates to thin-form-factor reconstituted substrates and methods for forming the same. The reconstituted substrates described herein may be utilized to fabricate homogeneous or heterogeneous high-density 3D integrated devices. In one embodiment, a silicon substrate is structured by direct laser patterning to include one or more cavities and one or more vias. One or more semiconductor dies of the same or different types may be placed within the cavities and thereafter embedded in the substrate upon formation of an insulating layer thereon. One or more conductive interconnections are formed in the vias and may have contact points redistributed to desired surfaces of the reconstituted substrate. The reconstituted substrate may thereafter be integrated into a stacked 3D device.

A build-up process for fabricating a multi-layer PCB is provided during which a mezzanine redistribution, or routing, structure is formed within one of the PCB dielectric material layers that allows additional electrical interconnections (i.e., traces and crossovers) to be made within that layer, thereby obviating the need to add an additional PCB layer in order to make those interconnections. The mezzanine redistribution structure also can be interconnected with the metal layers that are above and below it to further increase routing complexity and flexibility. The mezzanine redistribution structure can be formed without increasing the total thickness of the PCB and without substantially increasing costs.
