Abstract

A system substrate package, a system package, and methods of forming the same are described herein. The system substrate package includes an integrated substrate with multiple discrete interconnect structures. In embodiments the multiple discrete interconnect structures are placed and encapsulated and have a gap formed between the multiple discrete interconnect structures. The system substrate package reduces package warpage and mitigates board level reliability issues.
