Abstract
Embodiments may relate to a microelectronic package or a die thereof which includes a die, logic, or subsystem coupled with a face of the substrate. An inductor may be positioned in the substrate. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield elements may be positioned within the substrate and surrounding the inductor. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
Claims20
A microelectronic assembly, comprising:
- a package substrate including an inductor having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being inside a first cavity in a first redistribution layer in the package substrate, and the second portion being inside a second cavity in a second redistribution layer in the package substrate;
- and
- a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) dies coupled to a face of the package substrate,
- wherein:
- the first cavity and the second cavity are aligned with one of the IC dies in the plurality of IC dies,
- the first portion of the inductor is electrically coupled to the second portion of the inductor by a through-substrate via (TSV) between the first redistribution layer and the second redistribution layer, and
- the first portion of the inductor in the first redistribution layer is thicker than the second portion of the inductor in the second redistribution layer measured in a direction orthogonal to the face of the package substrate.
