Abstract:
The invention provides a semiconductor package assembly. The semiconductor package assembly includes a semiconductor die (300). A first molding compound (360) covers a back surface of the semiconductor die. A redistribution layer (RDL) structure (350a) is disposed on a front surface of the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die is coupled to the RDL structure. A second molding compound (320) is disposed on the front surface of the semiconductor die and embedded in the RDL structure. A passive device (330) is disposed on the second molding compound and coupled to the semiconductor die.
Abstract:
Reconstitution techniques for semiconductor packages are provided. One reconstitution technique is used to encapsulate (348) a plurality of semiconductor packages (336,354,356) into a single multi-chip module (fig. 3e). Solder balls (326) coupled to each package may be partially exposed after reconstitution, which enables the packages to be coupled to another device. Another reconstitution technique is used to couple a plurality of semiconductor packages into a package-on-package module using self-alignment feature(s) (fig. 6k). The self-alignment feature(s) are exposed solder ball(s) (626) that are included in the bottom package of the package-on-package module. The exposed solder ball(s) serve as a frame of reference to other solder balls (624) that are encapsulated by an encapsulation material (634). After the location of these other solders balls are determined, through-mold vias (636a,636b) may be formed in the encapsulation material at locations corresponding to the other solder balls. The top package of the package-on-package module may then be coupled to the bottom package using these solder balls.
Abstract:
A microelectronic package includes first and second encapsulated microelectronic elements, each of which includes a semiconductor die having a front face and contacts thereon. An encapsulant contacts at least an edge surface of each semiconductor die and extends in at least one lateral direction therefrom. Electrically conductive elements extend from the contacts and over the front face to locations overlying the encapsulant. The first and second microelectronic elements are affixed to one another such that one of the front or back surfaces of one of the first and second semiconductor dies is oriented towards one of the front or back surfaces of the other of the first and second semiconductor dies. A plurality of electrically conductive interconnects extend through the encapsulants of the first and second microelectronic elements and are electrically connected with at least one semiconductor die of the first and second microelectronic elements by the conductive elements.
Abstract:
A microelectronic package can include wire bonds having bases bonded to respective ones of conductive elements exposed at a surface of a substrate. The wire bonds may have exterior edge surfaces disposed at an angle between 25° and 90° relative to the bases, and ends remote, e.g., opposite, from the bases, and remote from the ends which are connected to the bases. A dielectric encapsulation layer extends from the substrate and covers portions of the wire bonds such that covered portions of the wire bonds are separated from one another by the encapsulation layer, wherein unencapsulated portions of the wire bonds are defined by portions of the wire bonds that are uncovered by the encapsulation layer, the unencapsulated portions including the ends of the wire bonds.
Abstract:
A microelectronic element (101) having memory storage array function has a front face (105) facing away from a substrate (102) of a microelectronic package (100), and is electrically connected with the substrate (102) through conductive structure (112) extending above the front face (105). First and second sets (114, 124) of first terminals are exposed at a surface (110) of the substrate (102) on respective first and second sides of a theoretical axis (132), each set configured to carry address information usable to determine an addressable memory location of a memory storage array of the microelectronic element. Signal assignments of the first terminals in the first set are a mirror image of the signal assignments of the first terminals in the second set.
