[0059] Integrated devices (e.g., 101, 103, 400) may include dies (e.g., bare semiconductor dies). Integrated devices may include power management integrated circuits (PMICs). Integrated devices may include application processors. Integrated devices may include modems.

Integrated devices may include at least one electronic circuit (e.g., a first electronic circuit, a second electronic circuit, etc.). Integrated devices may include input / output (I / O) hubs. Integrated devices may include transistors. Integrated devices may be examples of electronic components and / or electronic devices.
[0060] In some embodiments, the integrated device may be a chiplet. Chipslets can be manufactured using processes that offer better yields compared to other processes used to manufacture other types of integrated devices, which can reduce the overall cost of manufacturing chiplets. 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 pitches). In some embodiments, several chiplets may be used to perform the functionality of one or more chips (e.g., one or more integrated devices). As mentioned above, using several chiplets performing several functions can reduce the overall cost of the package compared to using a single chip to perform all the functions of the package. In some embodiments, one or more chiplets and / or one or more integrated devices (e.g., 100) of the chiplets described in this disclosure may be manufactured using the same technology node or two or more different technology nodes. For example, an integrated device may be manufactured using a first technology node, and a chiplet may be manufactured using a second technology node that is less advanced than the first technology node. In such examples, the integrated device may include components (e.g., interconnects, transistors) having a first minimum size, and the chiplet may include components (e.g., interconnects, transistors) having a second minimum size, wherein the second minimum size is larger than the first minimum size. In some embodiments, the first and second integrated devices of the package may be manufactured using the same or different technology nodes. In some embodiments, the chiplets and another chiplet of the package may be manufactured using the same or different technology nodes.
[0061] A technology node can refer to a specific manufacturing process and / or technology used to manufacture integrated devices and / or chiplets. A technology node can specify the minimum possible size (e.g., minimum size) that can be manufactured (e.g., transistor size, trace width, gap width between two transistors). Different technology nodes may have different yield losses. Different technology nodes may have different costs. Technology nodes for components with finer manufacturing details are more expensive and may have higher yield losses compared to technology nodes for components with less fine manufacturing details (e.g., traces, transistors). Therefore, more advanced technology nodes may be more expensive and may have higher yield losses compared to less advanced technology nodes. When all functions of a package are implemented in a single integrated device, the same technology node is used to manufacture the entire integrated device, even if some functions of the integrated device do not require manufacturing using that specific technology node. Therefore, the integrated device is locked to a single technology node. To optimize the cost of the package, some functions can be implemented in different integrated devices and / or chiplets, where different technology nodes can be used to manufacture different integrated devices and / or chiplets to reduce the overall cost. For example, functionality requiring state-of-the-art technology nodes can be implemented in an integrated device, while functionality achievable with less advanced technology nodes can be implemented in another integrated device and / or one or more chiplets. An example would be an integrated device manufactured using a first technology node (e.g., a more advanced technology node) and configured to provide computing applications, and at least one chiplet manufactured using a second technology node and configured to provide additional functionality, wherein the second technology node is less expensive than the first technology node, and wherein the second technology node manufactures a component with a minimum size larger than the minimum size of a component manufactured using the first technology node. Examples of computing applications could include high-performance computing and / or high-performance processing, which can be achieved by manufacturing and packing as many transistors as possible into the integrated device. This is why the integrated device configured for computing applications can be manufactured using the most advanced available technology nodes, while other chiplets can be manufactured using less advanced technology nodes, as these chiplets may not require as many transistors to be manufactured in the chiplet. Therefore, using a combination of different technology nodes (which may have different associated yield losses) for different integrated devices and / or chiplets can reduce the overall cost of the package compared to using a single integrated device to perform all the functions of the package.
[0062] Another advantage of dividing functionality into several integrated devices and / or chiplets is that it allows for improvements in package performance without having to redesign each individual 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 changing the design of the first integrated device while keeping the design of the first chiplet unchanged. Therefore, the first chiplet can be reused along with improved and / or differently configured first integrated devices. This saves costs when manufacturing packages with improved integrated devices because the first chiplet does not need to be redesigned.
[0063] Exemplary passive devices Different implementations may provide different types of passive devices. In some implementations, passive devices may include integrated passive devices (IPDs). In some implementations, passive devices may include deep trench capacitors (e.g., trench capacitor devices). In some implementations, passive devices are implemented as passive chiplets.

Phase 5 illustrates that some portions of the interconnects 1022 may have a U-shape or a V-shape. The terms “U-shape” and “V-shape” should be used interchangeably. The terms “U-shape” and “V-shape” may refer to the side profile shape of the interconnect and / or redistributed interconnect. U-shaped interconnects (e.g., U-shaped side profile interconnects) and V-shaped interconnects (e.g., V-shaped side profile interconnects) may have a top portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of a U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect) may be coupled to the top portion of another U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect). Multiple interconnects 1012 and / or multiple interconnects 1022 may represent multiple metallized interconnects (e.g., 212, 232, 252, 312, 332, 352).
[0141] It should be noted that the process of forming the dielectric layer, multiple openings, and multiple interconnects can be performed iteratively to form an additional metal layer in the metallized portion.
[0142] Different implementations may use different processes to form the metal layers and / or interconnects. In some implementations, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), sputtering, spraying, and / or plating processes may be used to form the metal layers.

[0145] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings in this disclosure may represent actual and / or conceptual representations of various parts, components, objects, devices, packages, integrated devices, integrated circuits, and / or transistors. In some instances, the drawings may not be to scale. In some instances, not all components and / or parts are shown for clarity. In some instances, the positioning, location, size, and / or shape of the various parts and / or components in the drawings may be exemplary. In some specific embodiments, the various components and / or parts in the drawings may be optional.
[0146] The term “exemplary” is used herein to mean “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any specific implementation or aspect described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other aspects of this disclosure. Similarly, the term “aspect” does not require that all aspects of this disclosure include the features, advantages, or modes of operation discussed. The term “coupled” is used herein to refer to direct or indirect coupling (e.g., mechanical coupling) between two objects. For example, if object A physically contacts object B, and object B contacts object C, objects A and C can still be considered coupled to each other, even if they are not in direct physical contact. An object coupled to another object may be coupled to at least a portion of another object. The term “electrically coupled” may mean that two objects are directly or indirectly coupled together such that current (e.g., signal, power, ground) can flow between the two objects. Electrically coupled objects may or may not have current flowing between them. The use of the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” and “fourth” (and / or anything above the fourth) is arbitrary. Any component described can be a first component, a second component, a third component, or a fourth component. For example, a component referred to as a second component can be a first component, a second component, a third component, or a fourth component. The term "enclosing" means that an object can partially enclose or completely enclose another object. A first component "located" within a second component can mean that the first component is "partially located" within or "completely located" within the second component. A first component "embedded" within a second component can mean that the first component is "partially embedded" within or "completely embedded" within the second component. The terms "top" and "bottom" are arbitrary. A component located at the top can be above a component located at the bottom. A top component can be considered a bottom component, and vice versa. As described in this disclosure, a first component located "above" a second component can mean that the first component is located above or below the second component, depending on how bottom or top is arbitrarily defined. In another example, a first component can be located above (e.g., above) a first surface of a second component, and a third component can be located above (e.g., below) a second surface of a second component, where the second surface is opposite to the first surface. It should also be noted that the term "on top of" as used in this application in the context of one component being on top of another component can be used to mean that a component is on and / or in another component (e.g., on the surface of a component or embedded in a component). Thus, for example, "first component on top of second component" can mean: (1) the first component is on top of the second component but does not directly contact the second component; (2) the first component is on the second component (e.g., on the surface of the second component); and / or (3) the first component is in the second component (e.g., embedded in the second component). A first component "in" the second component can be partially or entirely located within the second component.As used in this disclosure, the terms “about 'value X'” or “approximately value X” mean within 10% 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. “Multiple” components can include all possible components or only some of all possible components. For example, if a device comprises ten components, the use of the term “multiple components” can refer to all ten components or only some of those ten components. An object “facing” and / or “pointing” to another object can mean that the surface of that object (e.g., an outer surface) can face and / or point toward the other object. An object “facing” to another object can mean that the surface of that object (e.g., an outer surface) can point and / or be directed toward and / or toward the other object. For example, an object A having a first surface (e.g., a first outer surface) facing a second surface (e.g., a second outer surface) of object B can mean that the first surface of object A can point toward the second surface of object B (e.g., toward the second surface of object B). This can still be true even if there are one or more components between the first surface of object A and the second surface of object B. Therefore, for example, if object A is coupled to object C, and object B is coupled to object C such that object C is between object A and object B, it is possible for the surface of object A to point in a direction toward object B (e.g., toward object B) even though object C exists between object A and object B. The direction that an object faces and / or points toward it can be a direction perpendicular to the surface of that object (e.g., the outer surface). The front side of an object facing and / or pointing toward another object can mean that the surface on that front side faces and / or points toward the other object.
[0147] In some embodiments, an interconnect is a component or assembly in a device or package that allows or facilitates an electrical connection between two points, elements, and / or assemblies. In some embodiments, an interconnect may include traces, vias, pads, pillars, metallization layers, redistribution layers, and / or under-bump metallization (UBM) layers / interconnects. In some embodiments, an interconnect may include a conductive material configured to provide an electrical path for signals (e.g., data signals), ground, and / or power. An interconnect may include more than one element or assembly. An interconnect may be defined by one or more interconnects. An interconnect may include one or more metal layers. An interconnect may be part of a circuit. Different embodiments may use different processes and / or steps to form interconnects. In some embodiments, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), sputtering, spraying, and / or plating processes may be used to form interconnects.
[0148] It should also be noted that the various disclosures contained herein can be described as processes depicted as work diagrams, flowcharts, structure diagrams, or block diagrams. Although flowcharts may describe operations as sequential processes, many operations within an operation can be performed in parallel or concurrently. Furthermore, the order of operations can be rearranged. A process terminates when its operations are completed.
