Interposer, interposer package and device assembly employing the same

摘要

An interposer, interposer package and device assembly employing the same are provided. The interposer has a substrate formed of a semiconductor material, with first input/output contacts disposed over a first main surface thereof and second input/output contacts disposed over a second main surface thereof. The second input/output contacts are electrically connected to the first input/output contacts. The first input/output contacts disposed over the first main surface of the interposer substrate are for attachment to input/output pads of a device to which the interposer is to be attached. The second input/output contacts disposed over the second main surface of the interposer substrate facilitate electrical coupling to a component to which the interposer is also to be attached.
