Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for packages with improved performance and reduced size, particularly in achieving high aspect ratio and high density interconnections while maintaining a compact and thin form factor.
Innovation Solution
The package design incorporates a first and second metallization portion with dielectric layers and interconnects, a bridge, and an encapsulation layer, where the integrated devices and bridge are positioned between the metallization portions, enabling high-density interconnections and efficient electrical paths without the need for extensive solder interconnects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If traditional package designs with extensive solder interconnects are used, then reliable electrical connections are achieved, but the package size increases and aspect ratio decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from planar interconnection to three-dimensional vertical stacking, placing integrated devices at different heights and connecting them through vertical vias and conductive structures. This dimensional change enables high-density interconnections within a reduced footprint and thickness, resolving the contradiction between compact size and reliable electrical connections
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nested metallization structures where conductive layers, vias, and interconnects are embedded within dielectric layers in multiple stacked levels. This nesting approach allows extensive interconnections to be contained within the vertical profile of the package, achieving high connection density without increasing the package footprint or compromising reliability
2Productivity
If high-density interconnections are implemented, then package performance is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the interconnection system into discrete functional layers including separate dielectric layers, conductive layers, and via structures. Each layer performs a specific function (signal transmission, power distribution, or inter-layer connection), which simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing standardized fabrication techniques to be applied to each segment rather than treating the entire complex structure as a single unit
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs universal metallization structures that serve multiple functions: conductive interconnects provide both signal transmission and electrical connection, while dielectric layers simultaneously provide electrical isolation and mechanical support. This multi-functionality reduces the number of specialized components needed, thereby simplifying manufacturing while maintaining high-density interconnections for improved data processing performance
