Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a plurality of bumps formed over contact pads on a surface of the semiconductor die. The bumps can have a fusible portion and non-fusible portion. A plurality of conductive traces is formed over a substrate with interconnect sites having a width greater than 20% and less than 80% of a width of a contact interface between the bumps and contact pads. The bumps are bonded to the interconnect sites so that the bumps cover a top surface and side surface of the interconnect sites. An encapsulant is deposited around the bumps between the semiconductor die and substrate. The conductive traces have a pitch as determined by minimum spacing between adjacent conductive traces that can be placed on the substrate and the width of the interconnect site provides a routing density equal to the pitch of the conductive traces.

Abstract:
A warpage test system uses a calibration block to calibrate the warpage test system over a temperature profile. The calibration block includes a first metal block bonded to a second metal block. The first metal block includes a first metal and a second different metal. The first metal block includes a CTE different than a CTE of the second metal block. The calibration block is disposed in the warpage test system. A warpage of the calibration block is measured over a temperature profile ranging from 28° C. to 260° C. A deviation between the measured warpage of the calibration block and a known thermal expansion of the calibration block over the temperature profile is recorded. The warpage measurement in a semiconductor package is compensated by the deviation between the measured warpage of the calibration block and the known thermal expansion or warpage of the calibration block over the temperature profile.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die and conductive pillar with a recess or protrusion formed over a surface of the semiconductor die. The conductive pillar is made by forming a patterning layer over the semiconductor die, forming an opening with a recess or protrusion in the patterning layer, depositing conductive material in the opening and recess or protrusion, and removing the patterning layer. A substrate has bump material deposited over a conductive layer formed over a surface of the substrate. The bump material is melted. The semiconductor die is pressed toward the substrate to enable the melted bump material to flow into the recess or over the protrusion if the conductive pillar makes connection to the conductive layer. A presence or absence of the bump material in the recess or protrusion of the conductive pillar is detected by X-ray or visual inspection.

The semiconductor die is mounted to the substrate with the interconnect structures contacting the expanded interconnect surface area of the first conductive pads to increase bonding strength of the interconnect structure to the first conductive pads.
