Abstract

Integrated circuit packages with multiple integrated circuit dies are provided. A multichip package may include at least two integrated circuit dies that communicate using an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) in a substrate of the multi-chip package. The EMIB may receive power at contact pads formed at a back side of the EMIB that are coupled to a back side conductor on which the EMIB is mounted. The back side conductor may be separated into multiple regions that are electrically isolated from one another and that each receive a different power supply voltage signal or data signal from a printed circuit board. These power supply voltage signals and data signals may be provided to the two integrated circuit dies through internal microvias or through-silicon vias formed in the EMIB.
