摘要:
A panel is disclosed on which a plurality of integrated circuit package outlines may be fabricated within a plurality of process tools. The panel includes recessed portions in the exposed surfaces of the molding compound and/or the substrate. The recesses relieve stress resulting from disparate coefficients of expansion between the substrate and molding compound applied to the substrate around the integrated circuits. In embodiments, the recesses may be formed as lines scored into the surface of the molding compound or substrate. Alternatively, the recesses may be formed in the solder mask on the substrate during a process for applying the solder mask, or the recesses may be formed in the molding compound during the encapsulation process.

A low profile semiconductor package is disclosed including at least first and second stacked semiconductor die mounted to a substrate. The first and second semiconductor die are separated by a low profile intermediate adhesive layer. After the intermediate layer is applied, the second semiconductor die may be stacked on top of the intermediate layer. The first semiconductor layer may be wire-bonded to the substrate using bond wires sheathed within an electrical insulator. As the bond wires are surrounded by an electrical insulator, the intermediate layer need not space the wire bond loops from the second semiconductor die as in the prior art, and the apex of bond wires may come into contact with the dielectric layer. The intermediate layer may thus be made thinner in comparison to conventional stacked semiconductor die configurations.

A leadframe for a semiconductor package is disclosed including electrical leads which extend from one side of the leadframe to an opposite side of the leadframe, where electrical connection may be made with the semiconductor die at the second side of the leadframe. The semiconductor die may be supported on the leads extending across the leadframe. The package may further include a spacer layer affixed to the electrical leads to fortify the semiconductor package and to prevent exposure of the electrical leads during the molding of the package.

Methods of forming a semiconductor package including a single-sided substrate are disclosed. In a first embodiment of the present invention, a substrate may include a conductive layer on a top surface of the substrate, i.e., on the same side of the substrate as where the die are mounted. In a second embodiment of the present invention, a substrate may include a conductive layer on a bottom of the substrate, i.e., on the opposite side of the substrate as where the die are mounted.

Enclosed re-programmable non-volatile memory cards include at least two sets of electrical contacts to which the internal memory is connected. The two sets of contacts have different patterns, preferably in accordance with two different contact standards such as a memory card standard and that of the Universal Serial Bus (USB). One memory card standard that can be followed is that of the Secure Digital (SD) card. The cards can thus be used with different hosts that are compatible with one set of contacts but not the other. A cover that is hinged to the card to normally cover one set of contacts can be rotated out of the way by hand when that set of contacts is being used.

A rigid wave pattern formed on a first side of a substrate in a semiconductor die package. The rigid wave pattern aligns with and overlies the contact fingers formed on the second side of the substrate. When the substrate and dice are encased during the molding process, the rigid wave pattern effectively reduces deformation of and stresses on the dice, therefore substantially alleviating die cracking.

An electronic component is disclosed including a plurality of semiconductor packages soldered together in a side-by-side configuration. The packages are batch processed on a substrate panel. The panel includes a plurality of through-holes drilled through the panel and subsequently filled with metal such as copper or gold. These filled through-holes lie along the cut line between adjacent packages so that, upon singulation, the filled through holes are cut and a portion of the filled through-holes are exposed at the side edges of the singulated packages. These exposed portions of the filled through-holes form vertical surface mount technology (SMT) pads. After the semiconductor packages are singulated and the SMT pads are defined in the side edges, SMT is used to solder the SMT pads of a first semiconductor package to the respective SMT pads of a second semiconductor package to structurally and electrically couple the two packages together side-by-side.
摘要:
Improved techniques for stacking integrated circuit dies within an integrated circuit package are disclosed. These improved techniques allow greater stacking density of integrated circuit dies within an integrated circuit package. Additionally, the improved stacking techniques permit conventional bonding techniques for electrical connection of the various integrated circuit dies to each other or to a substrate. These improved approaches are particularly useful for stacking same size (and often same function) integrated circuit dies within integrated circuit packages. One example of such an integrated circuit package is a non-volatile memory integrated circuit package that contains multiple, like-sized memory storage integrated circuit dies arranged in a stack.
