The electrical path 470 can be configured to provide an electrical path for signals (e.g., input / output signals) between the integrated device 305 and the integrated device 105.
[0058] In some implementations, an electrical path between integrated device 305 and integrated device 105 may include at least one pillar interconnection of the plurality of pillar interconnections 352, at least one solder interconnection of the plurality of solder interconnections 350, at least one interconnection of the plurality of interconnections 284, at least one solder interconnection of the plurality of solder interconnections 150, and at least one pillar interconnection of the plurality of pillar interconnections 152.

[0059] In some implementations, integrated device 103, integrated device 105, and / or integrated device 305 may be chiplets. For example, in some implementations, integrated device 103 may be a first chiplet, integrated device 105 may be a second chiplet, and integrated device 305 may be a third chiplet. In some implementations, one or more of the integrated devices described in the disclosure may be manufactured using the same technology node or two or more different technology nodes.

In such an example, one chiplet (e.g., 105) may include components (e.g., interconnects, transistors) that have a first minimum size, and the other chiplet (e.g., 305) may include components (e.g., interconnects, transistors) that have a second minimum size, where the second minimum size is larger than the first minimum size. In some implementations, integrated device 105 and integrated device 305 of a package may be manufactured using the same technology node or different technology nodes. In some implementations, one chiplet (e.g., 103) and another chiplet (e.g., 105, 305) of a package may be manufactured using the same technology node or different technology nodes.
[0060] As another example, in some implementations, integrated device 105 may be a first chiplet and integrated device 305 may be a second chiplet.

[0061] As mentioned above, in some implementations, integrated device 103 can be configured as a deep trench capacitor. Figure 5 illustrates a cross-sectional profile view of an integrated device 500 that is configured as a trench capacitor device. Integrated device 500 can be a passive integrated device that includes multiple trench capacitors (e.g., deep trench capacitors). Integrated device 500 can be a means for trench capacitance. Integrated device 500 can represent integrated device 103. Integrated device 500 includes a front side and a back side. The front side of integrated device 500 can include the plurality of trench capacitors.
[0062] The integrated device 500 includes a wafer substrate 502 and a plurality of trench capacitors 505. A plurality of solder interconnects (not shown) may be coupled to the integrated device 500. The wafer substrate 502 may include silicon (Si). The wafer substrate 502 may include a plurality of trenches and / or cavities over which capacitors may be formed.
[0063] The 505 trench capacitor plurality includes a 505a trench capacitor and a Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, p. 32 / 179 26 / 71 Trench capacitor 505b.

The oxide layer 504 and / or the dielectric layer 508 may include SiO2 (e.g., low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) SiO2) or Si3N4 (e.g., LPCVD Si3N4). Portions of the oxide layer 504, the first electrically conductive layer 506, the dielectric layer 508, and the second electrically conductive layer 510 may be located in trenches and / or cavities of the pellet substrate 502. Note that a pellet substrate 502 may be considered as having a trench or a cavity, even if the trench or cavity is filled with a Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, p. 33 / 179 27 / 71 or more materials.
[0065] The trench capacitor 505a (e.g., first trench capacitor, first capacitor, means for first trench capacitance) can be defined by (i) a first portion of the oxide layer 504, (ii) a first portion of the first electrically conductive layer 506, (iii) a first portion of the dielectric layer 508 and (iv) a first portion of the second electrically conductive layer 510 that are located in a trench (e.g., first trench) of the wafer substrate 502.
[0066] The trench capacitor 505b (e.g., the second trench capacitor, second capacitor, means for the second trench capacitance) can be defined by (i) a second portion of the oxide layer 504, (ii) a second portion of the first electrically conductive layer 506, (iii) a second portion of the dielectric layer 508, and (iv) a second portion of the second electrically conductive layer 510 that are located in a trench (e.g., second trench) of the wafer substrate 502. It should be noted that the trench capacitor 505b can be part of the same capacitor as the trench capacitor 505a. That is, the trench capacitor 505a and the trench capacitor 505b can be configured to be electrically coupled together to form a capacitor (e.g., the first capacitor) with a higher capacitance.
[0067] The integrated device 500 may also include an interconnect 509, an interconnect 592, and an interconnect 594. Interconnect 509 is coupled to Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, page 34 / 179 28 / 71 interconnection 592 and to interconnection 594. Interconnection 509 may be a through-substrate pathway extending through the wafer substrate 502. Interconnection 592 may be a pad interconnection. Interconnection 594 may be a pad interconnection. Interconnection 592 may be located on the front side of the integrated device 500. Interconnection 592 may be located on the rear side of the integrated device 500. Interconnection 509 may be a through-substrate interconnection. The integrated device may include at least one through-substrate interconnection.
[0068] An integrated device (e.g., 103, 105, 305) may include a chip (e.g., exposed semiconductor chip). The integrated device may include a power management integrated circuit (PMIC). The integrated device may include an application processor. The integrated device may include a modem.The integrated device may include a radio frequency (RF) device, a passive device, a filter, a capacitor, an inductor, an antenna, a transmitter, a receiver, a gallium arsenide (GaAs) based integrated device, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter, a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter, a light-emitting diode (LED) integrated device, a silicon (Si) based integrated device, a silicon carbide (SiC) based integrated device, a memory, a power management processor, and / or combinations thereof. An integrated device (e.g. Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, page 35 / 179 29 / 71 example, 103, 105, 305) may include at least one electronic circuit (e.g., first electronic circuit, second electronic circuit, etc.). An integrated device may include transistors. An integrated device may be an example of an electrical component and / or an electrical device. In some implementations, an integrated device may be a chiplet. A chiplet may be manufactured using a process that provides better yields compared to other processes used to manufacture other types of integrated devices, which may reduce the total manufacturing cost of a chiplet. Different chiplets may have different sizes and / or shapes. Different chiplets may be configured to provide different functions. Different chiplets may have different interconnect densities (e.g., interconnects with different widths and / or spacings).In some implementations, multiple chiplets can be used to perform the functionalities of one or more chips (e.g., one or more embedded devices). Thus, for example, a single embedded device can be divided into multiple chiplets. As mentioned above, the use of multiple chiplets performing various functions can reduce the total cost of a package, compared to using a single chip to perform all the functions of a package. In some implementations, one or more of the chiplets and / or one or more of the embedded devices (e.g., 103) described in the disclosure may be manufactured using the same technology node or two or more different technology nodes. For example, an embedded device may be manufactured using a first technology node and a chiplet may be manufactured using a second. Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, page 36 / 179 30 / 71 technology node that is not as advanced as the first technology node. In such an example, the integrated device may include components (e.g., interconnects, transistors) that have a first minimum size, and the chiplet may include components (e.g., interconnects, transistors) that have a second minimum size, where the second minimum size is larger than the first minimum size. In some implementations, one integrated device and another integrated device in a package may be manufactured using the same technology node or different technology nodes. In some implementations, one chiplet and another chiplet in a package may be manufactured using the same technology node or different technology nodes.
[0069] A technology node can refer to a specific manufacturing process and / or technology used to manufacture an integrated device and / or chiplet. A technology node can specify the smallest possible size (e.g., minimum size) that can be manufactured (e.g., the size of a transistor, trace width, gap between two transistors). Different technology nodes may have different throughput losses. Different technology nodes may have different costs. Technology nodes that produce components (e.g., traces, transistors) with fine details are more expensive and may have higher throughput losses than a technology node that produces components (e.g., traces, transistors) with less fine details. Thus, more advanced technology nodes may be more expensive and may have higher throughput losses than less advanced technology nodes. When all the functions of a package are implemented in Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, p. 37 / 179 31 / 71 unique integrated devices, the same technology node is used to manufacture the entire integrated device, even if some of the integrated device's functions do not need to be manufactured using that particular technology node. Thus, the integrated device becomes tied to a technology node. To optimize the cost of a package, some functions may be implemented in different integrated devices and / or chiplets, where different integrated devices and / or chiplets can be manufactured using different technology nodes to reduce overall costs. For example, functions that require the use of the most advanced technology node may be implemented in one integrated device, and functions that can be implemented using a less advanced technology node may be implemented in another integrated device and / or in one or more chiplets.An example would be an integrated device, manufactured using a first technology node (e.g., a more advanced technology node), which is configured to provide computing applications and at least one chiplet, which is manufactured using a second technology node, which is configured to provide other functionalities, where the second technology node is not as expensive as the first technology node, and where the second technology node manufactures components with minimum sizes that are larger than the minimum sizes of the components manufactured using the first technology node. Examples of computing applications might include high-performance computing and / or high-performance processing, which can be achieved by manufacturing and packaging as many transistors as possible in an integrated device, which is why an integrated device that is configured for applications of... Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, page 38 / 179 32 / 71 computing can be manufactured using the most advanced technology node available, while other chiplets can be manufactured using less advanced technology nodes, since these chiplets may not require as many transistors to be manufactured in the chiplets. Thus, combining the use of different technology nodes (which may have different associated throughput losses) for different integrated devices and / or chiplets can reduce the total cost of a package, compared to using a single integrated device to perform all the package functions.
[0070] Another advantage of dividing functions across multiple integrated devices and / or chiplets is that it allows for package performance improvements without having to redesign each integrated device and / or chiplet. For example, if a package configuration uses a first integrated device and a first chiplet, it may be possible to improve package performance by altering the design of the first integrated device while preserving the design of the first chiplet. Thus, the first chiplet can be reused with the improved and / or differently configured first integrated device. This saves costs by not having to redesign the first chiplet when packages with enhanced integrated devices are manufactured.

[0088] In some implementations, the fabrication of a package includes several processes. Figure 7 illustrates an example flowchart of a method 700 for providing or fabricating a package. In some implementations, the method 700 in Figure 7 can be used to provide or fabricate any of the packages in Figures 1 to 4.

[00134] The word exemplifier is used in the present invention to mean serving as an example, an instance, or an illustration. Any implementations or aspects described in the present invention as exemplifiers should not necessarily be interpreted as preferential or advantageous in relation to other aspects of the disclosure. Similarly, the term aspects does not require that all aspects of the disclosure include the attribute, advantage, or mode of operation discussed. The term coupled is used in the present invention to refer to a direct or indirect coupling (e.g., mechanical coupling) between two objects. For example, if object A physically touches object B, and object B touches object C, then objects A and C can still be considered coupled to each other – even if they do not directly physically touch each other.The term electrically coupled can mean that two objects are directly or indirectly coupled to each other in such a way that one... Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, page 66 / 179 60 / 71 electric current (e.g., signal, power, ground) can flow between the two objects. Two objects that are electrically coupled may or may not have an electric current flowing between them. The use of the terms first, second, third, and fourth (and / or any value above fourth) is arbitrary. Any of the components described can be the first component, the second component, the third component, or the fourth component. For example, a component that is called a second component can be the first component, the second component, the third component, or the fourth component. The term encapsulation means that the object can partially encapsulate or completely encapsulate another object. The terms top and bottom are arbitrary. A component that is located on top can be located above a component that is located on the bottom. A top component can be considered a bottom component, and vice versa.As described in the disclosure, a first component that is located on a second component can mean that the first component is located above or below the second component, depending on how a bottom or top is arbitrarily defined. In another example, a first component may be located on (e.g., above) a first surface of the second component, and a third component may be located on (e.g., below) a second surface of the second component, where the second surface is opposite the first surface. It should be further mentioned that the term "on," as used in this application in the context of a component located on... Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, page 67 / 179 61 / 71 another component, can be used to mean a component that is on top of another component and / or inside another component (e.g., on top of a component's surface or embedded in a component). Thus, for example, a first component that is on top of the second component can mean that (1) the first component is on top of the second component but not directly touching the second component, (2) the first component is on top of (e.g., on top of a surface of) the second component, and / or (3) the first component is in (e.g., embedded in) the second component. A value that is approximately X to XX can mean a value that is between X and XX, inclusive of X and XX. The value(s) between X and XX may be distinct or continuous. The term approximately 'value X' or approximately value X, as used in the disclosure, means within 10 percent of 'value X'.For example, a value of about 1 or approximately 1 would mean a value in the range of 0.9 to 1.1. A plurality of components may include all possible components or only some of the components among all possible components. For example, if a device includes ten components, the use of the term plurality of components may refer to all ten components or only some of the components among the ten components.
[00135] In some implementations, an interconnect is an element or component of a device or package that enables or facilitates an electrical connection between two points, elements, and / or components. In some implementations, an interconnect may include a track, a path, a pad, a pillar, a metallic redistribution layer. Petition 870250081895, dated 11 / 09 / 2025, page 68 / 179 62 / 71 and / or an under-bump metallization (UBM) layer. An interconnect may include one or more metal components (e.g., seed layer + metal layer). In some implementations, an interconnect is an electrically conductive material that may be configured to provide an electrical path for a current (e.g., a data signal, ground, or power). An interconnect may be part of a circuit. An interconnect may include more than one element or component. An interconnect may be defined by one or more interconnects. Different implementations may use similar or different processes to form the interconnects. In some implementations, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and / or a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process are used to form the interconnects.For example, an ion bombardment process, a spray coating, and / or a plating or autocatalytic plating process can be used to form the interconnects.
