Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die. A conductive micro via array is formed outside a footprint of the semiconductor die and over the semiconductor die and encapsulant. A first through-mold-hole (TMH) is formed including a step-through-hole structure through the encapsulant to expose the conductive micro via array. An insulating layer is formed over the semiconductor die and the encapsulant. A micro via array is formed through the insulating layer and outside the footprint of the semiconductor die. A conductive layer is formed over the insulating layer. A conductive ring is formed comprising the conductive micro via array. A second TMH is formed partially through the encapsulant to a recessed surface of the encapsulant. A third TMH is formed through the encapsulant and extending from the recessed surface of the encapsulant to the conductive micro via array.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device is made by mounting a semiconductor wafer to a temporary carrier. A plurality of TSV is formed through the wafer. A cavity is formed partially through the wafer. A first semiconductor die is mounted to a second semiconductor die. The first and second die are mounted to the wafer such that the first die is disposed over the wafer and electrically connected to the TSV and the second die is disposed within the cavity. An encapsulant is deposited over the wafer and first and second die. A portion of the encapsulant is removed to expose a first surface of the first die. A portion of the wafer is removed to expose the TSV and a surface of the second die. The remaining portion of the wafer operates as a TSV interposer for the first and second die. An interconnect structure is formed over the TSV interposer.

An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and TSV wafer. Conductive TMV are formed through the encapsulant over the conductive TSV and contact pads of the semiconductor die.

The conductive TMV are formed during the same manufacturing process. An insulating layer is formed over the encapsulant and conductive layer. A plurality of semiconductor die of the same size or different sizes can be stacked over the TSV wafer. The plurality of semiconductor die can be stacked over opposite sides of the TSV wafer. An internal stacking module can be stacked over the semiconductor die and electrically connected through the conductive TMV.

A plurality of semiconductor die is mounted within the cavities. The semiconductor die can be mounted side-by-side and/or stacked within the cavity. Conductive TSV can be formed through the die. An encapsulant is deposited within the cavity over the die. A CTE of the die is similar to a CTE of the encapsulant. A first interconnect structure is formed over a first surface of the encapsulant and wafer. A second interconnect structure is formed over a second surface of the encapsulant and wafer. The first and second interconnect structure are electrically connected to the TSV wafer. A second semiconductor die can be mounted over the first interconnect structure with encapsulant deposited over the second die.
Abstract:
A semiconductor wafer has a plurality of semiconductor die distributed over a surface area. The semiconductor die are singulated from the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor die are mounted to a carrier to form a reconstituted semiconductor wafer. The carrier has a surface area 10-50% larger than the surface area of the semiconductor wafer. The number of semiconductor die mounted to the carrier is greater than a number of semiconductor die singulated from the semiconductor wafer. The reconstituted wafer is mounted within a chase mold. The chase mold is closed with the semiconductor die disposed within a cavity of the chase mold. An encapsulant is dispersed around the semiconductor die within the cavity under temperature and pressure. The encapsulant can be injected into the cavity of the chase mold. The reconstituted wafer is removed from the chase mold. An interconnect structure is formed over the reconstituted wafer.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a substrate, first passivation layer formed over the substrate, and integrated passive device formed over the substrate. The integrated passive device can include an inductor, capacitor, and resistor. A second passivation layer is formed over the integrated passive device. System components are mounted to the second passivation layer and electrically connect to the second conductive layer. A mold compound is formed over the integrated passive device. A coefficient of thermal expansion of the mold compound is approximately equal to a coefficient of thermal expansion of the system component. The substrate is removed. An opening is etched into the first passivation layer and solder bumps are deposited over the opening in the first passivation layer to electrically connect to the integrated passive device. A metal layer can be formed over the molding compound or first passivation layer for shielding.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with die bump pads and substrate with trace lines having integrated bump pads. A solder mask patch is formed interstitially between the die bump pads or integrated bump pads. The solder mask patch contains non-wettable material. Conductive bump material is deposited over the integrated bump pads or die bump pads. The semiconductor die is mounted over the substrate so that the conductive bump material is disposed between the die bump pads and integrated bump pads. The bump material is reflowed without a solder mask around the integrated bump pads to form an interconnect between the semiconductor die and substrate. The solder mask patch confines the conductive bump material within a footprint of the die bump pads or integrated bump pads during reflow. The interconnect can have a non-fusible base and fusible cap.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a substrate with a die attach area. A conductive layer is formed over a surface of the substrate and extending below the surface. An insulating layer is formed over the surface of the substrate outside the die attach area. A portion of the conductive layer is removed within the die attach area to expose sidewalls of the substrate. The remaining portion of the conductive layer is recessed below the surface of the substrate within the die attach area. A semiconductor die has bumps formed over its active surface. The semiconductor die is mounted to the substrate by bonding the bumps to the remaining portion of the first conductive layer recessed below the first surface of the substrate. The sidewalls of the substrate retain the bumps during bonding to the remaining portion of the conductive layer. An encapsulant is deposited between the semiconductor die and substrate.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has an interposer with a die attach area interior to the interposer and cover attach area outside the die attach area. A channel is formed into a surface of the interposer within the cover attach area. A dam material is formed over the surface of the interposer within the cover attach area between the channel and edge of the interposer. A semiconductor die is mounted to the die attach area of the interposer. An adhesive material is deposited in the cover attach area away from the channel and dam material. A cover, such as a heat spreader or shielding layer, is mounted to the die and interposer within the cover attach area. The cover presses the adhesive material into the channel and against the dam material to control outward flow of the adhesive material. Alternatively, ACF can be formed over the interposer to mount the cover.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a first conductive layer formed over the semiconductor die. A first insulating layer is formed over the semiconductor die with a first opening in the first insulating layer disposed over the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is formed over the first insulating layer and into the first opening over the first conductive layer. An interconnect structure is formed over the first and second conductive layers within openings of a second insulating layer. The second insulating layer is removed. The interconnect structure can be a conductive pillar or conductive pad. A bump material can be formed over the conductive pillar. A protective coating is formed over the conductive pillar or pad to a thickness less than one micrometer to reduce oxidation. The protective coating is formed by immersing the conductive pillar or pad into the bath containing tin or indium.
