A z-disaggregated integrated circuit package substrate assembly comprises a first substrate component (a coreless patch), a second substrate component (a core patch), and a third substrate component (an interposer). The coreless patch comprises thinner dielectric layers and higher density routing and can comprise an embedded bridge to allow for communication between integrated circuit dies attached to the coreless patch. The core layer acts as a middle layer interconnect between the coreless patch and the interposer and comprises liquid metal interconnects to connect the core patch physically and electrically to the coreless patch and the interposer. Core patch through holes comprise liquid metal plugs. Some through holes can be surrounded by and coaxially aligned with magnetic plugs to provide improved power signal delivery. The interposer comprises thicker dielectric layers and lower density routing. The substrate assembly can reduce cost and provide improved overall yield and electrical performance relative to monolithic substrates.

In some examples, an electronic package and methods for forming the electronic package are described. The electronic package can be formed by disposing an interposer on a surface of a substrate having a first pitch wiring density. The interposer can have a second pitch wiring density different from the first pitch wiring density. A layer of non-conductive film can be situated between the interposer and the surface of the substrate. A planarization process can be performed on a surface of the substrate. A solder resist patterning can be performed on the planarized surface the substrate. A solder reflow and coining process can be performed to form a layer of solder bumps on top of the planarized surface of the substrate. The interposer can provide bridge connection between at least two die disposed above the substrate. Solder bumps under the interposer electrically connect the substrate and the interposer.

A pattern of microchannels is formed on a major surface of a substrate on the side opposite an adhesive surface thereof. Through holes extend through the substrate and are connected to the pattern of microchannels. Solid circuit dies are adhesively bonded to the adhesive surface of the substrate. The contact pads of the solid circuit dies at least partially overlie and face the through holes. Electrically conductive channel traces are formed to electrically connect to the solid circuit dies via the through holes.

Flexible devices including conductive traces with enhanced stretchability, and methods of making and using the same are provided. The circuit die is disposed on a flexible substrate. Electrically conductive traces are formed in channels on the flexible substrate to electrically contact with contact pads of the circuit die. A first polymer liquid flows in the channels to cover a free surface of the traces. The circuit die can also be surrounded by a curing product of a second polymer liquid.

A magnetic bilayer structure includes a magnetic layer and a dielectric layer. For one technique, fabricating a cored or coreless semiconductor package includes: depositing a seed layer on a build-up layer; forming a raised pad structure and a trace on the seed layer; removing one or more uncovered portions of the seed layer to uncover top surfaces of one or more portions of the build-up layer; applying a magnetic bilayer structure on the raised pad structure, the trace, any unremoved portion of the seed layer, and the top surfaces of the one or more portions of the build-up layer, the magnetic bilayer structure comprises a magnetic layer and a dielectric layer; and forming a conductive structure on the raised pad structure.

A performance of a semiconductor device is improved. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, and a clip mounted on the semiconductor chip via a silver paste. Here, the semiconductor chip includes a passivation film having an opening, a source pad of a main transistor having a portion exposed from the passivation film at the opening, and a wall portion provided on the passivation film so as to surround the source pad in a plan view. At this time, a whole of the portion (exposed surface) of the source pad, which is exposed from the passivation film, is covered with the silver paste. Further, in the plan view, the silver paste connecting the source pad with the clip is positioned inside of an area surrounded by the wall portion, without overflowing.

A via frame. In some embodiments, the via frame includes: a sheet of epoxy mold compound, having a plurality of holes each extending through the sheet of epoxy mold compound, and a plurality of conductive elements, each extending through a respective one of the holes.

A chip resistor comprises an insulating substrate (component body) on which a resistor is formed, a connection terminal (front electrodes, end face electrodes, and back electrodes) formed at both end portions of the insulating substrate, an under layer formed by electrolytic plating to cover the connection terminal, a barrier layer formed by electrolytic plating to cover the under layer, and an external connection layer which is mainly composed of tin and formed on a surface of the barrier layer, wherein the barrier layer is made of alloy plating mainly composed of nickel and containing 3% to 15% of phosphorus, and the under layer is formed of a copper plated layer that is at least either more malleable or more ductile than the barrier layer.

Pastes are disclosed that are configured to coat a passage of a substrate. When the paste is sintered, the paste becomes electrically conductive so as to transmit electrical signals from a first end of the passage to a second end of the passage that is opposite the first end of the passage. The metallized paste contains a lead-free glass frit, and has a coefficient of thermal expansion sufficiently matched to the substrate so as to avoid cracking of the sintered paste, the substrate, or both, during sintering.
