SILICON SPACE TRANSFORMER FOR IC PACKAGING

摘要

An apparatus includes at least a first integrated circuit (IC) and a wafer-fabricated space transformer (ST). The IC includes bonding pads of a first inter-pad pitch on a bottom surface. The ST includes a top surface having bonding pads of the first inter-pad pitch, and at least a portion of the bonding pads of the first IC are bonded to the bonding pads of the top surface. The ST includes a bottom surface having bonding pads of a second inter-pad pitch, at least one dielectric insulating layer between the top surface and the bottom surface, and conductive interconnect in the dielectric layer configured to provide electrical continuity between the bonding pads of the top surface and the bonding pads of the bottom surface.
