Various embodiments of an interposer for mounting a semiconductor die, as
well as methods for forming the interposer, are disclosed. The interposer
includes flexible solder pad elements that are formed from a core
material of the interposer, such that the interposer may absorb thermally
induced stresses and conform to warped or uneven surfaces. Embodiments of
electronic device packages including a semiconductor die mounted to and
electrically connected to the interposer, as well as methods for forming
the electronic device packages, are also disclosed. In one electronic
device package, the semiconductor die is electrically connected to the
interposer with wire bonds attached to a routing layer of the interposer.
In another electronic device package, the semiconductor die is
electrically connected to the interposer by bonding the semiconductor die
to the flexible solder pad elements of the interposer in a flip-chip
configuration. A computer system incorporating an electronic device
package with an interposer according to the present invention is also
disclosed.
