Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a die pad layout. Signal pads in the die pad layout are located primarily near a perimeter of the semiconductor die, and power pads and ground pads are located primarily inboard from the signal pads. The signal pads are arranged in a peripheral row or in a peripheral array generally parallel to an edge of the semiconductor die. Bumps are formed over the signal pads, power pads, and ground pads. The bumps can have a fusible portion and non-fusible portion. Conductive traces with interconnect sites are formed over a substrate. The bumps are wider than the interconnect sites. The bumps are bonded to the interconnect sites so that the bumps cover a top surface and side surfaces of the interconnect sites. An encapsulant is deposited around the bumps between the semiconductor die and substrate.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a first conductive layer formed over the die. A first insulating layer is formed over the 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 constructed by forming a second insulating layer over the first insulating layer with a second opening having a width less than the first opening and depositing a conductive material into the second opening. The interconnect structure can be a conductive pillar or conductive pad. The interconnect structure has a width less than a width of the first opening. The second conductive layer over the first insulating layer outside the first opening is removed while leaving the second conductive layer under the interconnect structure.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die and an encapsulant formed over a first surface of the semiconductor die and around the semiconductor die. A first insulating layer is formed over a second surface of the semiconductor die opposite the first surface. A plurality of conductive vias is formed through the first insulating layer. A conductive pad is formed over the encapsulant. An interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die and encapsulant. A first opening is formed in the encapsulant to expose the conductive vias. The conductive vias form a conductive via array. The conductive via array is inspected through the first opening to measure a dimension of the first opening and determine a position of the first opening. The semiconductor device is adjusted based on a position of the conductive via array. A conductive material is formed in the first opening over the conductive via array.
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.
