Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, semiconductor products and methods for semiconductor packages, specifically under chip bridge system-in-packages, are provided that allow one or more bridges to connect two or more dies. For example, high density connections of two or more dies may be connected with an under chip bridge, all of which may be placed on a substrate to form a system-in-package semiconductor package. Various embodiments include methods of manufacturing such packages that include utilizing a flat semiconductor along with bumping operations that may use single sizes of bumping.

Claims (16)

1. An under chip bridge system-in-package comprising:

a first die;

a second die;

a substrate having a first surface, wherein the first surface of the substrate is connected to the first die and the second die with a plurality of connections, wherein the first surface of the substrate is flat, and wherein a thickness of the plurality of connections to the first and the second die are the same height;

a bridge comprising a first surface, wherein the first surface of the bridge is connected the first die and to the second die, wherein the thickness of the plurality of connections to the first die and the thickness of the plurality of connections to the second die are the same height, wherein the bridge has a thickness and the bridge thickness is uniform for an entirety of the bridge, and wherein the thickness of the bridge is less than the thickness of the plurality of connections between the substrate and the first die;

a third die;

a second bridge comprising a first surface, wherein the first surface of the second bridge is connected the first die and to the third die, wherein the second bridge has a thickness and the second bridge thickness is uniform for the entirety of the second bridge, and wherein the thickness of the second bridge is less than the thickness of the plurality of connection between the substrate and the first die; and

wherein a portion of the second bridge is located between a portion of the bridge and the substrate.

2. The under chip bridge system-in-package of claim 1 , wherein an area of the first surface of the substrate is greater than an area of the first surface of the bridge.

3. The under chip bridge system-in-package of claim 1 , wherein the first die comprises a first plurality of high density connections, wherein the second die comprises a second plurality of high density connections, wherein the plurality of connections of the bridge to the first die is associated with a portion of the first plurality of high density connections of the first die, and wherein the plurality of connections of the bridge to the second die is associated with a portion of the second plurality of high density connections of the second die.

4. The under chip bridge system-in-package of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the bridge is less than 55 microns.

5. The under chip bridge system-in-package of claim 1 ,

wherein the first surface of the bridge is connected the third die.

6. The under chip bridge system-in-package of claim 1 further comprising one or more active components.

7. The under chip bridge system-in-package of claim 1 further comprising one or more passive components.

8. The under chip bridge system-in-package of claim 1 further comprising one or more active components or passive components connected to the bridge.
