Package and substrate comprising interconnects with semi-circular planar shape and/or trapezoid planar shape

Abstract:

A substrate that includes at least one dielectric layer, a plurality of first interconnects located in the at least one dielectric layer, at least one photo-imageable dielectric layer coupled to the at least one dielectric layer, and a plurality of second interconnects located in the at least one photo-imageable dielectric layer. The plurality of second interconnects includes at least one pair of adjacent interconnects having a centroid to centroid distance that is less than a pitch between the pair of interconnects. The pair of adjacent interconnects may include a pair of adjacent via interconnects and/or a pair of pad interconnects. The substrate may include a coreless substrate or a cored substrate.
