摘要:
A method is disclosed for forming semiconductor packages by a process of punching and cutting the packages from a panel of integrated circuits. During an encapsulation process for encapsulating the packages in a molding compound, portions of the panel may be left free of molding compound. Portions of the panel left free of molding compound may subsequently be punched from the panel. These punched areas may define chamfers, notches or a variety of other curvilinear, rectilinear or irregular shapes in the outer edges of the finished semiconductor package. After the panel is punched, the integrated circuits may be singulated. By punching areas from the panel, and then cutting along straight edges, a simple, effective and cost efficient method is disclosed for obtaining finished semiconductor packages of a variety of desired shapes.

A semiconductor package is disclosed including test pads formed of solder bumps affixed to the semiconductor package during fabrication. When the package is encapsulated, due to the pressure exerted on the package during the encapsulation process, portions of the solder bumps get flattened out to be generally flush with and exposed on a surface of the semiconductor package. These exposed portions of the solder bumps form the test pads by which the finished package may be tested.

A semiconductor wafer, die and semiconductor package formed therefrom are disclosed, where the inactive surface of the wafer has an extrinsic gettering pattern formed from a texturing process. In examples, the texturing process follows a polishing process that removes stress concentration point from the inactive surface of the wafer.

A semiconductor die and a low profile semiconductor package formed therefrom are disclosed. The semiconductor package may include at least first and second stacked semiconductor die mounted to a substrate. The first and/or second semiconductor die may be fabricated with localized cavities through a bottom surface of the semiconductor die, along a side edge of the semiconductor die. The one or more localized cavities in a side take up less than the entire side. Thus, the localized cavities allow low height stacking of semiconductor die while providing each die with a high degree of structural integrity to prevent cracking or breaking of the die edge during fabrication.
摘要:
A semiconductor device including a semiconductor die in a die stack under-filled with a film. Once the semiconductor die are formed, they may be stacked and interconnected. The interconnection may leave a small space between semiconductor die in the die stack. This space is advantageously completely filled using a vapor deposition process where a coating is deposited as a vapor which flows over all surfaces of the die stack, including into the spaces between the die in the stack. The vapor then deposits on the surfaces between and around the die and forms a film which completely fills the spaces between the die in the die stack. The material used in the vapor deposition under-fill process may for example be a member of the parylene family of polymers, and in embodiments, may be parylene-N.

A method of fabricating a low profile semiconductor package is disclosed including at least first and second stacked semiconductor die mounted to a substrate. The first and/or second semiconductor die may be fabricated with a plurality of redistribution pads formed over and electrically coupled to a plurality of bond pads. After the semiconductor die are formed and diced from the wafer, the die may be mounted to the substrate using a low profile reverse wire bond according to the present invention. In particular, a wedge bond may be formed between the wire and the redistribution pad without having to use a second wire bond ball on the die bond pad as in conventional reverse ball bonding processes.

A leadframe design for forming leadframe-based semiconductor packages having curvilinear shapes is disclosed. The leadframes may each include one or more curvilinear slots corresponding to curvilinear edges in the finished and singulated semiconductor package. After encapsulation, the integrated circuit packages on the panel may be singulated by cutting the integrated circuits from the leadframe panel into a plurality of individual integrated circuit packages. The slots in the leadframe advantageously allow each leadframe to be singulated using a saw blade making only straight cuts.

A semiconductor device is disclosed including die bond pads which are heightened to allow wire bonding of offset stacked die even in tight offset configurations. After a first die is affixed to a substrate, one or more layers of an electrical conductor may be provided on some or all of the die bond pads of the first substrate to raise the height of the bond pads. The conductive layers may for example be conductive balls deposited on the die bond pads of the first substrate using a known wire bond capillary. Thereafter, a second die may be added, and wire bonding of the first die may be accomplished using a known wire bond capillary mounting a wire bond ball on a raised surface of a first semiconductor die bond pad.
