Abstract

A die package may include a package substrate; an interposer; and/or at least one first die connected between the package substrate and the interposer. The die package may further include at least one second die mounted on the interposer and/or a processor. A system may include a system board and/or a die package mounted on the system board. The die package may include a package substrate; an interposer; and/or at least one first die connected between the package substrate and the interposer. The system may further include at least one second die mounted on the interposer and/or a processor. The processor may control data processing operations of the at least one first die and/or the at least one second die.

Claims (51)

1. A die package, comprising:

a package substrate;

an interposer;

at least one first die connected between the package substrate and the interposer;

at least one second die mounted on the interposer; and

a processor mounted on the interposer and separated from the at least one second die;

wherein the at least one first die and the at least one second die are overlapped in a vertical direction, and

wherein the at least one first die and the processor are not overlapped in the vertical direction.

2. The die package of claim 1 , wherein the processor is connected to the interposer through microbumps.

3. The die package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first die is embodied by two stacked dies,

wherein either one of the two stacked dies includes vertical electrical connections, and

wherein the other one of the two stacked dies does not include vertical electrical connections.

4. The die package of claim 3 , wherein the two stacked dies are connected through the vertical electrical connections.

5. The die package of claim 3 , wherein either one of the two stacked dies is connected to the interposer through microbumps.

6. The die package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first die and the at least one second die are entirely overlapped in a vertical direction, and

wherein the at least one first die and the processor are not at all overlapped in the vertical direction.

7. The die package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first die is a volatile memory device or a non-volatile memory device.

8. The die package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second die is embodied by two stacked dies,

wherein either one of the two stacked dies includes vertical electrical connections, and

wherein the other one of the two stacked dies does not include vertical electrical connections.

9. The die package of claim 8 , wherein the two stacked dies are connected through the vertical electrical connections.

10. A system, comprising:

a system board; and

a die package mounted on the system board;

wherein the die package includes:

a package substrate;

an interposer;

at least one first die connected between the package substrate and the interposer;

at least one second die mounted on the interposer; and

a processor mounted on the interposer and separated from the at least one second die;

wherein the processor controls data processing operations of the at least one first die and the at least one second die,

wherein the at least one first die and the at least one second die are overlapped in a vertical direction, and

wherein the at least one first die and the processor are not overlapped in the vertical direction.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is a central processing unit (CPU) or a graphic processing unit (GPU).

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the system further comprises:

a display for displaying data processed by the processor.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the system is a portable device.

14. A die package, comprising:

a package substrate;

at least one first die on the package substrate;

an interposer stacked on the at least one first die and electrically connected to the at least one first die through first microbumps; and

at least one second die stacked on the interposer and electrically connected to the at least one first die through second microbumps;

wherein the at least one second die is stacked on the at least one first die through the interposer, and

wherein the at least one first die and the at least one second die are entirely overlapped in a vertical direction.

15. The die package of claim 14 , further comprising:

a processor on the interposer.

16. A semiconductor device comprising the die package of claim 1 .

17. A semiconductor device comprising the die package of claim 14 .

18. The die package of claim 14 , wherein a size of the at least one first die is identical to a size of the at least one second die.

19. The die package of claim 1 , wherein a horizontal dimension of the at least one first die is the same as a horizontal dimension of the at least one second die.

20. The die package of claim 15 , wherein the processor is separated from the at least one second die.
