Abstract

A package includes an interposer structure free of any active devices. The interposer structure includes an interconnect device; a dielectric film surrounding the interconnect device; and first metallization pattern bonded to the interconnect device. The package further includes a first device die bonded to an opposing side of the first metallization pattern as the interconnect device and a second device die bonded to a same side of the first metallization pattern as the first device die. The interconnect device electrically connects the first device die to the second device die.
