Patent ID: 8335084

Claim:
A method comprising: fabricating an embedded active package including a top surface and a bottom surface comprising a plurality of build-up layers defining circuit interconnections and that comprise one or more thin film embedded passive devices; after fabricating the plurality of build-up layers, forming at least one cavity in the build-up layers; and after forming the at least one cavity, disposing at least one active device in the cavity that is electrically connected to the circuit interconnections of the build-up layers, wherein the electrical connections of the cavity to the circuit interconnections of the build-up layers include a plurality of nano-interconnects or a plurality of bumpless interconnects, and wherein at least one electrical connection is provided to one or more of the plurality of build-up layers on the top surface of the embedded active package and at least one electrical connection is provided to one or more of the plurality of build-up layers on the bottom surface of the embedded active package.
