Microelectronic circuit package having die fixed within a package core

摘要

A low cost microelectronic circuit package includes a single build up metallization layer above a microelectronic die. At least one die is fixed within a package core using, for example, an encapsulation material. A single metallization layer is then built up over the die/core assembly. The metallization layer includes a number of landing pads having a pitch that allows the microelectronic device to be directly mounted to an external circuit board. In one embodiment, the metallization layer includes a number of signal landing pads within a peripheral region of the layer and at least one power landing pad and one ground landing pad toward a central region of the layer.
