US Patent 9275971 Bridge interconnect with air gap in package assembly

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards techniques and configurations for a bridge interconnect assembly that can be embedded in a package assembly. In one embodiment, a package assembly includes a package substrate configured to route electrical signals between a first die and a second die and a bridge embedded in the package substrate and configured to route the electrical signals between the first die and the second die, the bridge including a bridge substrate, one or more through-hole vias (THVs) formed through the bridge substrate, and one or more traces disposed on a surface of the bridge substrate to route the electrical signals between the first die and the second die. Routing features including traces and a ground plane of the bridge interconnect assembly may be separated by an air gap. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
