Semiconductor device and power converter
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a first wiring member, a second wiring member, and a terminal. The semiconductor element includes a first main electrode and a second main electrode on a side opposite from the first main electrode. The first wiring member is connected to the first main electrode. The terminal has a first terminal surface connected to the second main electrode and a second terminal surface. The second terminal has four sides. Two of the four sides are parallel to a first direction intersecting the thickness direction, and other two sides of the four sides are parallel to a second direction perpendicular to the thickness direction and the first direction. The second wiring member is connected to the second terminal surface of the terminal through solder, and has a groove. The groove overlaps one or two of the four sides of the second terminal surface.
UNIFORM SEED LAYER FOR THROUGH HOLES IN GLASS SUBSTRATES
Embodiments disclosed herein include an apparatus that comprises a substrate, and the substrate includes glass. In an embodiment, an opening is provided through a thickness of the substrate, and a layer is along a sidewall of the opening. In an embodiment, the layer comprises a polymer and an electrical conductor that comprises carbon. In an embodiment, a via is provided in the opening, and the via is an electrically conductive material.
EMBEDDED ORGANIC INTERPOSER FOR HIGH BANDWIDTH
Embedded organic interposers for high bandwidth are provided. Example embedded organic interposers provide thick conductors with more dielectric space, and more routing layers of such conductors than conventional interposers, in order to provide high bandwidth transmission capacity over longer spans. The embedded organic interposers provide high bandwidth transmission paths between components such as HBM, HBM2, and HBM3 memory stacks, and other components. To provide the thick conductors and more routing layers for greater transmission capacity, extra space is achieved by embedding the organic interposers in the core of the package. Example embedded organic interposers lower a resistive-capacitive (RC) load of the routing layers to provide an improved data transfer rate of 1 gigabits per second over at least a 6 mm span, for example. The embedded interposers are not limited to use with memory modules.
SUBSTRATES WITH SPACERS, INCLUDING SUBSTRATES WITH SOLDER RESIST SPACERS, AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
Substrates with spacers, including substrates with solder resist spacers, and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a substrate comprises a first surface, a solder resist layer disposed over at least a portion of the first surface, and a plurality of electrical contacts at the first surface of the substrate. Electrical contacts of the plurality are configured to be coupled to corresponding electrical contacts at a surface of an electronic device. The substrate further includes a solder resist spacer disposed on the solder resist layer. The solder resist spacer can have a height corresponding to a thickness of the electronic device. The solder resist spacer can be configured as a dam to limit bleed out of underfill laterally away from the plurality of electrical contacts along the first surface and toward the solder resist spacer.

3D printing material in direct contact with edge of a glass core in IC packages to additively form a frame. Multiple such cores may be reconstituted into a panel that may then be built-up with routing metallization and assembled with IC die. Layers of printed material may be built up to form a frame with approximately the same thickness as the glass core and of any desired lateral width. The printed material may be an organic polymer or inorganic composition including metallics and ceramics. Beads of different material composition may be printed in succession to vary mechanical, electrical and/or thermal properties. A portion of the protective frame may be retained on an edge of the glass core when panels are singulated into package substrate units. Frame material may also be printed upon edges of glass-cored package units after their singulation.
