摘要:
A semiconductor package structure for improving electrical performance and a method for fabricating the same are proposed, in which a substrate having at least one pair of passive component pads is provided, wherein a semiconductor chip is attached on the substrate and a passive component is mounted to the passive component pads to locate between the substrate and the semiconductor chip. Thus, the passive component can electrically connect the chip and the substrate simultaneously without arranging an additional conductive trace layer, thereby improving the electrical performance of the semiconductor package structure and reducing the structure size.

A semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof are provided in which a chip is mounted on a substrate, and a dielectric layer is applied over the substrate and chip, with bond fingers formed on the substrate and electric contacts formed on the chip being exposed outside. A metal layer is formed over the dielectric layer and the exposed bond fingers and electric contacts, and patterned to form a plurality of conductive traces that electrically connect the electric contacts of the chip to the bond fingers of the substrate. The conductive traces replace conventional wire bonding technology and thus eliminate the occurrence of wire sweep or short circuits in fabrication processes. Therefore, a low profile chip with a reduced pitch between adjacent electric contacts can be used without being limited to feasibility of the wire bonding technology.

A stress compensation for use in packaging, and a method of forming, is provided. The stress compensation layer is placed on an opposing side of a substrate from an integrated circuit die. The stress compensation layer is designed to counteract at least some of the stress exerted structures on the die side of the substrate, such as stresses exerted by a molding compound that at least partially encapsulates the first integrated circuit die. A package may also be electrically coupled to the substrate.

A package-on-package arrangement for maintaining die alignment during a reflow operation is provided. A first top die has a first arrangement of solder bumps. A bottom package has a first electrical arrangement to electrically connect to the first arrangement of solder bumps. A die carrier has a plurality of mounting regions defined on its bottom surface, wherein the first top die is adhered to the die carrier at a first of the plurality of mounting regions. One of a second top die and a dummy die having a second arrangement of solder bumps is also fixed to the die carrier at a second of the plurality of mounting regions of the die carrier. The first and second arrangements of solder bumps are symmetric to one another, therein balancing a surface tension during a reflow operation, and generally fixing an orientation of the die carrier with respect to the bottom package.

The embodiments of bump-on-trace (BOT) structures and their layout on a die described reduce stresses on the dielectric layer on the metal pad and on the metal traces of the BOT structures. By orienting the axes of the metal bumps away from being parallel to the metal traces, the stresses can be reduced, which can reduce the risk of delamination of the metal traces from the substrate and the dielectric layer from the metal pad. Further, the stresses of the dielectric layer on the metal pad and on the metal traces may also be reduced by orienting the axes of the metal traces toward the center of the die. As a result, the yield can be increased.

A die has a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and sidewalls includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is closer to the first surface than the second portion. A fillet contacts the first portion of sidewalls of the die and encircles the die. A work piece is bonded to the die through solder bumps, with the second surface facing the work piece. A first underfill is filled a gap between the die and the work piece, wherein the first underfill contacts the fillet, and wherein the first underfill and the fillet are formed of different materials.
摘要:
An enhanced wafer level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) copper electrode post is described having one or more pins that protrude from the top of the electrode post. When the solder ball is soldered onto the post, the pins are encapsulated within the solder material. The pins not only add shear strength to the soldered joint between the solder ball and the electrode post but also create a more reliable electrical connection due to the increased surface area between the electrode post/pin combination and the solder ball. Moreover, creating an irregularly shaped solder joint retards the propagation of cracks that may form in the intermetal compounds (IMC) layer formed at the solder joint.
