Abstract:
A fan-out wafer level package includes a semiconductor die with contact pads positioned on a top surface. A fan-in redistribution layer positioned over the die includes contact pads in electrical communication with the first contact pads of the die. A buffer layer positioned over the fan-in layer includes a plurality of vias, in electrical contact with the contact pads of the fan-in layer. A fan-in redistribution layer is positioned over the buffer layer and includes contact pads on a surface opposite the buffer layer, in electrical communication with the vias. The semiconductor die, fan-in layer, and buffer layer are encapsulated in a molding com-pound layer. Solder contacts, for electrically connecting the semiconductor device to a electronic circuit board, are positioned on contact pads of the fan-out layer. The buffer layer has a substantial thickness, to reduce and distribute shear stresses resulting from thermal mismatch of coefficients of thermal expansion of the semiconductor die and a circuit board.
Abstract:
A ball grid array (BGA) package includes a substrate layer having first and second sides. A semiconductor chip is attached to the first side of the substrate layer by a dielectric adhesive layer. A plurality of solder balls are attached to the second side of the substrate layer. The solder balls may be set out by rows and columns. A plurality of wires electrically connect the semiconductor chip to the solder balls. A layer of encapsulating compound is deposited over the semiconductor chip. A step cavity of a selected depth and shape is formed in the layer of encapsulating compound at or near the edge or periphery of the layer of encapsulating compound. The step cavity is separated from the solder balls by the substrate layer but spans over a plurality of selected solder balls.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a very thin semiconductor package including a leadframe with a die-attach pad and a plurality of lead terminals, a die attached to the die-attach pad and electrically connected to the lead terminals via bonding wires, a position member disposed upon the die and/or die-attach pad, and a molding material encapsulating the leadframe, the die, and the position member together to form the semiconductor package. The method for manufacturing a very thin semiconductor package includes disposing a first position member on one side of the die-attach pad of a leadframe, attaching a die onto the opposite side of the die-attach pad, optionally disposing a second position member on top of the die, electrically connecting the die to the lead terminals of the leadframe, and encapsulating the leadframe, the die, and the position member(s) together to form the very thin semiconductor package.
Abstract:
A protective structure is provided on a substrate to which a semiconductor die is attached. The protective structure surrounds the die and reduces the thermo-mechanical stresses to which the die is subject. The die is protected against cracking, warping, and delamination.
