Device, method and system for providing recessed interconnect structures of a substrate

Abstract:

Techniques and mechanisms to facilitate connectivity between circuit components via a substrate. In an embodiment, a microelectronic device includes a substrate, wherein a recess region extends from the first side of the substrate and only partially toward a second side of the substrate. First input/output (IO) contacts of a first hardware interface are disposed in the recess region. The first IO contacts are variously coupled to each to a respective metallization layer of the substrate, wherein the recess region extends though one or more other metallization layers of the substrate. In another embodiment, the microelectronic device further comprises second IO contacts of a second hardware interface, the second IO contacts to couple the microelectronic device to a printed circuit board.
