Abstract

A package includes a package substrate, an interposer over and bonded to the package substrate, a first wafer over and bonding to the interposer, and a second wafer over and bonding to the first wafer. The first wafer has independent passive device dies therein. The second wafer has active device dies therein.

Claims (45)

1. A package comprising:

a package substrate;

an interposer over and bonded to the package substrate;

a first wafer over and bonding to the interposer, wherein the first wafer comprises independent passive device dies therein;

a second wafer over and bonding to the first wafer, wherein the second wafer comprises active device dies therein;

a screw penetrating through the package substrate, the first wafer, and the second wafer; and

a bolt attached to the screw.

2. The package of claim 1 , wherein the first wafer is a reconstructed wafer comprising:

the independent passive device dies; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the independent passive device dies therein, wherein the encapsulant separates the independent passive device dies from each other.

3. The package of claim 2 further comprising a plurality of memory dies encapsulated in the encapsulant, wherein each of the plurality of memory dies is overlapped by one of the active device dies.

4. The package of claim 1 , wherein the independent passive device dies are continuously and physically connected to each other to form an integrated piece.

5. The package of claim 1 , wherein the first wafer and the second wafer comprise curved edges.

6. The package of claim 1 further comprising:

a power module underlying and bonded to the package substrate.

7. The package of claim 6 , wherein the first wafer comprises:

a semiconductor substrate; and

through-semiconductor vias penetrating through the semiconductor substrate, wherein the active device dies are electrically coupled to the power module through the through-semiconductor vias.

8. The package of claim 1 further comprising a connector attached to the package substrate.

9. The package of claim 1 further comprising:

a thermal interface material; and

a cold plate attached to the second wafer through the thermal interface material.

10. The package of claim 1 , wherein each of the independent passive device dies comprises a semiconductor substrate, and wherein the semiconductor substrates of the independent passive device dies are parts of a same continuous semiconductor substrate that extends into each of the independent passive device dies.

11. A package comprising:

a plurality of independent passive device dies forming a first array, wherein the plurality of independent passive device dies comprises through-substrate vias therein;

a plurality of active device dies forming a second array, wherein the plurality of active device dies overlap, and are bonded to, the plurality of independent passive device dies;

a package substrate underlying the plurality of independent passive device dies; and

a plurality of power modules overlapped by the plurality of independent passive device dies and the plurality of active device dies, wherein the plurality of power modules are electrically connected to the plurality of independent passive device dies and the plurality of active device dies.

12. The package of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of active device dies are continuously and physically connected to each other to form a wafer.

13. The package of claim 11 further comprising a molding compound molding the plurality of independent passive device dies therein.

14. The package of claim 11 further comprising a plurality of memory dies overlapped by, and bonded to, the plurality of active device dies.

15. A package comprising:

an interposer;

a first package bonded to the interposer, wherein the first package comprises:

a plurality of passive device dies bonded with the wafer, wherein the plurality of passive device dies are bonded between the interposer and the wafer;

a package substrate bonded to the interposer; and

power modules bonded to the package substrate, wherein the power modules are on an opposing side of the package substrate than the interposer.

16. The package of claim 15 further comprising:

an encapsulant encapsulating the plurality of passive device dies therein.

17. The package of claim 16 further comprising:

a plurality of memory dies bonded to the plurality of device dies, wherein the plurality of memory dies are encapsulated in the encapsulant.

18. The package of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of passive device dies comprise through-vias, and wherein the through-vias interconnect the power modules and the plurality of device dies.
