[0009]
[0029] In the following description, specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of various aspects of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will understand that aspects can be practiced without these specific details. For example, circuits may be shown in block diagrams to avoid obscuring aspects in unnecessary detail. In other instances, well-known circuits, structures, and techniques may not be shown in detail so as not to obscure aspects of the present disclosure.
[0010]
[0030] The present disclosure describes a package comprising: a substrate including at least one dielectric layer and a plurality of interconnects; a first chiplet coupled to the substrate; a second chiplet coupled to the first chiplet; an encapsulation layer coupled to the substrate, the first chiplet, and the second chiplet; a plurality of encapsulation interconnects located within the encapsulation layer; a metallization portion coupled to the encapsulation layer, the second chiplet, and the plurality of encapsulation interconnects; and a first integrated device coupled to the metallization portion. The package may provide a configuration with reduced electrical paths between components. Reducing the electrical paths between the first integrated device, the first chiplet, the second integrated device, and / or the second chiplet may help reduce signal and / or current latency, thereby improving package performance. As described further below, instead of one integrated device performing all of the package's functions, various functions of the package may be performed by different integrated devices and / or different chiplets. By redistributing the functionality of the package among different integrated devices and / or different chiplets, cost reductions can be achieved in producing the package while still providing a package with high performance capabilities.

[0024]
[0044] Chiplet 101, chiplet 105, and / or chiplet 103 may utilize any of the electrical paths described above to be electrically coupled to integrated device 107 and / or integrated device 109. As described above, electrical paths that include (e.g., pass through) a chiplet may include die interconnects and / or through-substrate vias.
[0025]
[0045] In some implementations, the electrical path between the integrated device (e.g., 107, 109) and the chiplet 101 may include at least one solder interconnect from the plurality of solder interconnects 110, at least one interconnect from the plurality of interconnects 122, at least one encapsulation interconnect from the plurality of encapsulation interconnects 182, at least one metallization interconnect from the plurality of metallization interconnects 142, and at least one solder interconnect from the plurality of solder interconnects (e.g., 170, 190).

[0027]
[0047] As described further below, the orientation of chiplet 101, chiplet 103, and / or chiplet 105 within the package may be rearranged for different implementations. In some implementations, a first chiplet may be coupled to a second chiplet such that the front surface of the first chiplet faces the front surface of the second chiplet. In some implementations, a first chiplet may be coupled to a second chiplet such that the front surface of the first chiplet faces the rear surface of the second chiplet. In some implementations, a first chiplet may be coupled to a second chiplet such that the rear surface of the first chiplet faces the rear surface of the second chiplet. Thus, in this disclosure, any chiplet may be coupled to another chiplet front-to-front, rear-to-rear, or front-to-rear. A chiplet may be coupled to another chiplet via hybrid bonding, where interconnects from one chiplet directly contact interconnects from another chiplet. Furthermore, in this disclosure, any chiplet may be coupled to a substrate or metallization portion through the front surface of the chiplet or through the rear surface of the chiplet. Thus, the illustrations in this disclosure are merely examples of the many ways in which one or more chiplets may be coupled to another component of a package.

The redistribution interconnects may include portions having a U-shape or a V-shape. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" are interchangeable. The terms "U-shape" and "V-shape" may refer to the side profile shapes of the interconnects and / or redistribution interconnects. U-shaped interconnects (e.g., U-shaped side profile interconnects) and V-shaped interconnects (e.g., V-shaped side profile interconnects) may have top and bottom portions. The bottom portion of a U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect) may be bonded to the top portion of another U-shaped interconnect (or V-shaped interconnect).

[0096]
[0116] The location and / or placement of the chiplet near the integrated device helps to reduce signal and / or current latency between the integrated device and the chiplet, thereby helping to improve the performance of the integrated device and / or package. The chiplet may be configured as a deep trench capacitor. However, different implementations may use chiplets configured to perform other operations and / or functionality.
[0097]
[0117] The use of integrated devices, chiplets, and metallization portions in the package of Figure 1, and at least those described in Figures 1-12, provides several advantages. First, it can result in cost reductions for the package by redistributing various functions of the package across at least one integrated device and at least one chiplet. The integrated devices and chiplets can be fabricated using different technology nodes, which may have different costs.
[0098]
[0118] A technology node may refer to a particular fabrication process and / or technology used to fabricate integrated devices and / or chiplets. A technology node may specify the smallest possible size (e.g., minimum size) that can be fabricated (e.g., transistor size, trace width, gap between two transistors). Different technology nodes may have different yield losses. Different technology nodes may have different costs. A technology node that produces components (e.g., traces, transistors) with fine details may be more expensive and have higher yield losses than a technology node that produces components (e.g., traces, transistors) with less fine details. Thus, a more advanced technology node may be more expensive and have higher yield losses than a less advanced technology node. If all of the functionality of a package is realized within a single integrated device, the same technology node is used to fabricate the entire integrated device, even if some of the functionality of the integrated device need not be fabricated using that particular technology node. Thus, an integrated device is locked to one technology node. To optimize package costs, some of the functions may be realized in different integrated devices and / or chiplets, and the different integrated devices and / or chiplets may be fabricated using different technology nodes to reduce overall cost. For example, functions requiring the use of a leading-edge technology node may be realized in an integrated device, while functions that can be implemented using a less advanced technology node may be realized in another integrated device and / or one or more chiplets. One example is an integrated device fabricated using a first technology node (e.g., a leading-edge technology node) configured to provide a computing application and at least one chiplet fabricated using a second technology node configured to provide other functionality, where the second technology node is less expensive than the first technology node and where the second technology node fabricates components having a minimum size that is larger than the minimum size of components fabricated using the first technology node.Example computational applications may include high-performance computing and / or processing, which may be achieved by fabricating and packing as many transistors as possible in an integrated device; integrated devices configured for computational applications may be fabricated using the most advanced technology node available, while other chiplets may be fabricated using less advanced technology nodes because these chiplets may not require as many transistors as fabricated in the chiplet. Thus, the combination of using different technology nodes (which may have different associated yield losses) for different integrated devices and / or chiplets may reduce the overall cost of the package compared to using a single integrated device to perform all of the functions of the package.
[0099]
[0119] 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 every single 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 the package performance by changing the design of the first integrated device while keeping the design of the first chiplet the same. Thus, the first chiplet can be reused with an improved and / or differently configured first integrated device. This saves costs by not having to redesign the first chiplet when a package with an improved integrated device is created.
[0100]
[0120] Furthermore, chiplets can be coupled to the integrated device via copper-to-copper hybrid bonds or via solder interconnects so that the chiplets are very close to the integrated device. For example, the chiplets and integrated device can be implemented using metallization (e.g., rewiring) to position the chiplets as close as possible to the integrated device, thereby reducing the electrical path between the chiplets and the integrated device. This helps improve the performance of the integrated device and the power delivered to the integrated device.
[0101]
[0121] Additionally, chiplets including trench capacitors offer several technical advantages. Trench capacitors and / or trench capacitor devices provide capacitors with high capacitance and / or high capacitance density. Capacitors with higher capacitance density allow for more compact form factors for packaging, as these capacitors may occupy less space but provide the same and / or comparable capacitance as larger-sized capacitors. The compact form factor of trench capacitors allows them to be located very close to integrated devices, which can help improve power delivery performance to integrated devices. Furthermore, because these trench capacitors have a small form factor, they can be implemented using metallization instead of being implemented within the package substrate. Thus, high-capacitance capacitors can be implemented during package fabrication instead of when the package is bonded to the substrate.
[0102]
[0122] High capacitance capacitors are particularly important in certain types of processing operations, such as computing applications (e.g., high performance processing). The use of chiplets, integrated devices, and metallization portions as described in this disclosure helps to improve inter-die communication, which helps to improve the overall performance of the integrated device(s) and package.
[0103]
[0123] A bridge (e.g., 801, 803) may include a die substrate (e.g., a bridge substrate) and a plurality of bridge interconnects. The bridge may include a dielectric layer (e.g., a bridge dielectric layer). The bridge dielectric layer may be formed on the bridge substrate and the plurality of bridge interconnects.
[0104]
[0124] 1-12 illustrate various packages that include at least one chiplet located near an integrated device. The use of chiplets and integrated devices with metallization portion(s) provides several advantages. First, the chiplets can be fabricated using a different fabrication process (e.g., technology node) than the integrated device. This helps reduce costs because the chiplets may not need to be fabricated using the most expensive fabrication process. Furthermore, the use of chiplets with metallization portion(s) helps improve electrical performance between the integrated device and / or chiplets because the chiplets and / or integrated device can be located near each other.
[0105]
[0125] As described above, the package may include several metallization portions. Any of the metallization portions may be a first metallization portion and / or any of the metallization portions may be a second metallization portion. For example, in some implementations, metallization portion 104 may be considered a first metallization portion and metallization portion 106 may be considered a second metallization portion. In some implementations, metallization portion 106 may be considered a first metallization portion and metallization portion 104 may be considered a second metallization portion.
[0106]
[0126] As described above, the chiplet may include a trench capacitor and / or may be configured to operate as a trench capacitor device. The trench capacitor and / or trench capacitor device provides a capacitor having a high capacitance and / or a high capacitance density. Capacitors having a higher capacitance density can provide the same and / or comparable capacitance as larger sized capacitors but with less space occupied by these capacitors, enabling a more compact form factor for the package. The compact form factor of the trench capacitors allows them to be located very close to the integrated device, which can help improve the power supply performance to the integrated device. Further, because these trench capacitors have a small form factor, they can be implemented using metallization portions instead of being implemented within the package substrate.

[0174]
[0194] The method forms / provides (at 1915) a dielectric layer 1820 over the seed layer 1801, the carrier 1800, and the interconnects 1802.

[0202] It should be noted that the figures 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 cases, the figures may not be to scale. In some cases, for purposes of clarity, not all components and / or parts may be shown.

[0183]
[0203] The word “exemplary” is used herein to mean “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation or aspect described herein as “exemplary” should not necessarily be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects of the present disclosure. Likewise, the term “aspect” does not require all aspects of the present disclosure to include the described feature, advantage, or mode of operation. The term “coupled” is used herein to refer to a direct or indirect coupling (e.g., mechanical coupling) between two objects. For example, if object A is in physical contact with object B, and object B is in contact with object C, objects A and C can still be considered coupled to each other even though they are not in direct physical contact with each other. An object coupled to another object may also be coupled to at least a portion of the other object. The term “electrically coupled” may mean that two objects are directly or indirectly coupled together such that an electric current (e.g., signal, power, ground) can propagate between the two objects. Two objects that are electrically coupled may or may not propagate current between them. Use of the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” and “fourth” (and / or anything more than fourth) is arbitrary. Any of the components described may be a first component, a second component, a third component, or a fourth component. For example, a component referred to as a second component may also be a first component, a second component, a third component, or a fourth component. The term “encapsulating” means that an object may partially or completely encapsulate another object. The terms “top” and “bottom” are arbitrary. A top component may be located above a bottom component. A top component may also be considered a bottom component, and vice versa.As described in this disclosure, a first component "over" 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 may be located above (e.g., above) a first surface of a second component, and a third component may be located above (e.g., below) a second surface of the second component, where the second surface is opposite the first surface. It is further noted that in the context of one component being located above another component, the term "over" as used herein can be used to refer to a component that is on and / or within (e.g., on the surface of or embedded within) the other component. Thus, for example, a first component present on a second component can mean (1) that the first component is present on the second component but not in direct contact with the second component, (2) that the first component is present on (e.g., on the surface of) the second component, and / or (3) that the first component is present within (e.g., embedded within) the second component. A first component located "in" a second component can be partially located within the second component or completely located within the second component. As used in this disclosure, the term "about 'value X'" or "approximately value X" 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.
[0184]
[0204] 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 trace, a via, a pad, a pillar, a metallization layer, a redistribution layer, and / or an under bump metallization (UBM) layer / interconnect. In some implementations, an interconnect may include a conductive material that can be configured to provide an electrical path for signals (e.g., data signals), ground, and / or power. An interconnect may include two or more elements or components. 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 implementations may use different processes and / or sequences to form interconnects. In some implementations, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, a sputtering process, a spray coating process, and / or a plating process may be used to form the interconnects.
[0185]
[0205] It should also be noted that various disclosures contained herein may be described as a process, which is depicted as a flowchart, a flow diagram, a structure diagram, or a block diagram. While a flowchart may describe operations as a sequential process, many of the operations may be performed in parallel or simultaneously. Additionally, the order of operations may be rearranged.
