Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include electronic package and methods of forming such packages. In an embodiment, an electronic package comprises a mold layer and a first die embedded in the mold layer. In an embodiment, the first die comprises first pads at a first pitch and second pads at a second pitch. In an embodiment, the electronic package further comprises a second die embedded in the mold layer, where the second die comprises third pads at the first pitch and fourth pads at the second pitch. In an embodiment, a bridge die is embedded in the mold layer, and the bridge die electrically couples the second pads to the fourth pads.
Claims:1. An apparatus comprising:
a substrate with a plurality of layers including a top layer, one or more intermediate layers and a bottom layer; and
ferromagnetic material applied to a first of the one or more intermediate layers in an area underneath a magnetic source disposed on an outer surface of the top layer;
wherein the ferromagnetic material is to provide a shield for signal routing traces in one or more other intermediate layers or the bottom layer underneath the first intermediate layer, from a magnetic field produced by the magnetic source.
, Description:CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 17/131,663, filed December 22, 2020, and titled: “ASSEMBLY OF 2XD MODULE USING HIGH DENSITY INTERCONNECT BRIDGES”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to electronic packages, and more particularly to multi-chip packages with high density interconnect bridges.
BACKGROUND
[0003] The move to multi-die modules has led to the need for advanced interconnect architectures in order to accommodate the multiple dies. In one type of architecture, multiple dies are attached to an interposer that provides electrical coupling between the multiple dies. However, the area of the interposer has to be at least as large as the sum of the areas of the several dies and include an additional assembly and routing overhead. The growth of the area of the interposer increases the cost and provides manufacturability issues.
[0004] In another approach, embedded bridges are provided in the package substrate. The bridges provide high density routing in order to electrically couple the multiple dies together. However, since multiple bridge dies are needed, there is an issue with obtaining proper alignment for all of the bridge dies. Alignment is also made difficult due to warpage of the package substrate in which the bridge dies are embedded. As the number of bridge dies necessary for the package increase, alignment issues become an increasingly difficult design challenge.
