Abstract

An electronic assembly is disclosed. The electronic assembly includes a first attachment layer, a second attachment layer, a first interposer redistribution layer, a second interposer redistribution layer, at least one of a thermal spreader layer or a thermal management layer, and an interposer cavity. The interposer further includes an interconnect header fixed within the interposer cavity comprising a plurality of interconnect filaments configured to electrically couple to at least one of the first interposer redistribution layer or the second interposer redistribution layer. The interconnect header is generated by applying electrically conductive filaments on a plurality of wafers, thinning the wafers, stacking the wafers, attaching the wafers into a wafer stack, and dicing the wafer stack.

Claims (27)

1. A system comprising:

an electronic assembly comprising:

an interposer comprising:

a first attachment layer;

a second attachment layer;

a first interposer redistribution layer electrically coupled to the first attachment layer;

a second interposer redistribution layer electrically coupled to the second attachment layer;

at least one of a thermal spreader layer or a thermal management layer;

an interposer cavity; and

an interconnect header disposed within the interposer cavity comprising a plurality of interconnect filaments configured to electrically couple at least one of the first interposer redistribution layer or the second interposer redistribution layer.

2. The system of claim 1 comprising:

a first electrical routing layer electrically coupled to the first interposer redistribution layer; and

a second electrical routing layer electrically coupled to the first interposer redistribution layer.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the interconnect header is configured to electrically couple to at least one of the first electrical routing layer or the second electrical routing layer.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interconnect filaments are configured as an array.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interconnect header is generated through the steps of:

applying a plurality of parallel electrically conductive filaments onto a plurality of wafers;

thinning at least one wafer of the plurality of wafers;

stacking and attaching the plurality of wafers, creating a planar wafer stack; and

dicing the planar wafer stack into a plurality of interconnect headers.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interconnect header is generated through the steps of:

applying a plurality of electrically conductive vias onto a plurality of wafers;

thinning at least one wafer of the plurality of wafers;

stacking and attaching the plurality of wafers, creating a vertical wafer stack; and

dicing the vertical wafer stack into a plurality of interconnect headers.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of a primary die or a secondary die electrically coupled to at least one of the first attachment layer or the second attachment layer.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the primary die or the secondary die is configured for flip chip mounting.
