Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor package using a coreless signal distribution structure (CSDS) is disclosed and may include a CSDS comprising at least one dielectric layer, at least one conductive layer, a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The semiconductor package may also include a first semiconductor die having a first bond pad on a first die surface, where the first semiconductor die is bonded to the first surface of the CSDS via the first bond pad, and a second semiconductor die having a second bond pad on a second die surface, where the second semiconductor die is bonded to the second surface of the CSDS via the second bond pad. The semiconductor package may further include a metal post electrically coupled to the first surface of the CSDS, and a first encapsulant material encapsulating side surfaces and a surface opposite the first die surface of the first semiconductor die, the metal post, and a portion of the first surface of the CSDS.
