Fabricating an RF filter on a semiconductor package using selective seeding

Abstract:

A filter structure comprises a first dielectric buildup film. A second dielectric buildup film is over the first dielectric buildup film, the second dielectric buildup film including a metallization catalyst. A trench is in the second dielectric buildup film. A metal is selectively plated to sidewalls of the trench based at least in part on the metallization catalyst. A low-loss buildup film is over the metal that substantially fills the trench.
