Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An interposer to form a frame around a bottom chip bonded to a package substrate and to standoff a top chip or package for clearance of the bottom chip. The interposer has pins arrayed on a first side which are soldered to the package substrate for reduced interposer z-height and pads arrayed on a second side to which the top package (chip) is bonded. During assembly, the interposer pins may be pressed against pre-soldered pads and the solder reflowed to join the interposer to the package substrate. A top package (chip) is then joined to an opposite side of the interposer to integrate the first and second chips.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An integrated circuit (IC) package assembly, comprising: a bottom package including a first chip mounted to first interconnect pads on a first side of a bottom package substrate; and a pin grid interposer (PGI) forming a frame around the first chip and having pins projecting from a first side, the pins soldered to second interconnect pads disposed on the first side of the bottom package substrate, wherein a first dielectric layer is disposed around the sec…
