Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a BGA package including first bumps. A first semiconductor die is mounted to the BGA package between the first bumps. The BGA package and first semiconductor die are mounted to a carrier. A first encapsulant is deposited over the carrier and around the BGA package and first semiconductor die. The carrier is removed to expose the first bumps and first semiconductor die. An interconnect structure is electrically connected to the first bumps and first semiconductor die. The BGA package further includes a substrate and a second semiconductor die mounted, and electrically connected, to the substrate. A second encapsulant is deposited over the second semiconductor die and substrate. The first bumps are formed over the substrate opposite the second semiconductor die. A warpage balance layer is formed over the BGA package.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a first semiconductor die and a modular interconnect structure adjacent to the first semiconductor die. An encapsulant is deposited over the first semiconductor die and modular interconnect structure as a reconstituted panel. An interconnect structure is formed over the first semiconductor die and modular interconnect structure. An active area of the first semiconductor die remains devoid of the interconnect structure. A second semiconductor die is mounted over the first semiconductor die with an active surface of the second semiconductor die oriented toward an active surface of the first semiconductor die. The reconstituted panel is singulated before or after mounting the second semiconductor die. The first or second semiconductor die includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS). The second semiconductor die includes an encapsulant and an interconnect structure formed over the second semiconductor die. Alternatively, the second semiconductor die is mounted to an interposer disposed over the interconnect structure.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a first conductive layer and a semiconductor die disposed adjacent to the first conductive layer. An encapsulant is deposited over the first conductive layer and semiconductor die. An insulating layer is formed over the encapsulant, semiconductor die, and first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is formed over the insulating layer. A first portion of the first conductive layer is electrically connected to VSS and forms a ground plane. A second portion of the first conductive layer is electrically connected to VDD and forms a power plane. The first conductive layer, insulating layer, and second conductive layer constitute a decoupling capacitor. A microstrip line including a trace of the second conductive layer is formed over the insulating layer and first conductive layer. The first conductive layer is provided on an embedded dummy die, interconnect unit, or modular PCB unit.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a substrate with a stiffening layer disposed over the substrate. The substrate has a circular shape or rectangular shape. A plurality of semiconductor die is disposed over a portion of the substrate while leaving an open area of the substrate devoid of the semiconductor die. The open area of the substrate devoid of the semiconductor die includes a central area or interstitial locations among the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die are disposed around a perimeter of the substrate. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and substrate. The substrate is removed and an interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die. By leaving the predetermined areas of the substrate devoid of semiconductor die, the warping effect of any mismatch between the CTE of the semiconductor die and the CTE of the encapsulant on the reconstituted wafer after removal of the substrate is reduced.

Abstract:
A semiconductor wafer contains a plurality of semiconductor die separated by a saw street. An insulating layer is formed over the semiconductor wafer. A protective layer is formed over the insulating layer including an edge of the semiconductor die along the saw street. The protective layer covers an entire surface of the semiconductor wafer. Alternatively, an opening is formed in the protective layer over the saw street. The insulating layer has a non-planar surface and the protective layer has a planar surface. The semiconductor wafer is singulated through the protective layer and saw street to separate the semiconductor die while protecting the edge of the semiconductor die. Leading with the protective layer, the semiconductor die is mounted to a carrier. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and carrier. The carrier and protective layer are removed. A build-up interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die and encapsulant.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a substrate with a plurality of active semiconductor die disposed over a first portion of the substrate and a plurality of non-functional semiconductor die disposed over a second portion of the substrate while leaving a predetermined area of the substrate devoid of the active semiconductor die and non-functional semiconductor die. The predetermined area of the substrate devoid of the active semiconductor die and non-functional semiconductor die includes a central area, checkerboard pattern, linear, or diagonal area of the substrate. The substrate can be a circular shape or rectangular shape. An encapsulant is deposited over the active semiconductor die, non-functional semiconductor die, and substrate. An interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die. The absence of active semiconductor die and non-functional semiconductor die from the predetermined areas of the substrate reduces bending stress in that area of the substrate.
