An interposer is a specialized component used in semiconductor packaging to enable connectivity between different integrated circuits (ICs) or between an IC and its package substrate. It acts as an intermediate layer with a substrate material typically made of silicon, glass, or ceramic. Key components of an interposer include multiple layers of metal traces or vias for electrical connections, known as routing layers. These layers facilitate the transmission of signals and power between ICs and provide pathways for through-silicon vias (TSVs), which are vertical conductive paths that penetrate through the interposer. Bump or pad structures on the interposer's surface allow for the attachment of ICs using solder bumps or conductive adhesives. Dielectric layers insulate the metal traces to prevent electrical short circuits, ensuring reliability.
