摘要:
Ball grid array packages for semiconductor die include a thermally conductive container and a substrate that substantially enclose a semiconductor die. The die is positioned with respect to the container by thermally conductive supports formed in the container or attached to the container. The die contacts the supports so that the die and the container form a cavity that is at least partially filled with a thermally conductive material such as a conductive epoxy to promote thermal conduction between the die and the container. The die electrically connects to the substrate with bond wires that extend through an aperture in the substrate and attach to bond pads provided on the substrate. The aperture is typically filled with a protective layer of resin, epoxy, or other material that also encapsulates the bond wires. Solder balls are provided for electrical connection or the substrate and the die to a circuit board or other circuit element, and an encapsulant layer covers the surface of the substrate but permits electrical connection to the bond pads. Methods for packaging semiconductor die in such packages are also provided.
摘要:
A semiconductor component includes a substrate and multiple stacked, encapsulated semiconductor dice on the substrate. A first die is back bonded to the substrate and encapsulated in a first encapsulant, and a second die is back bonded to the first encapsulant. The first encapsulant has a planar surface for attaching the second die, and can also include locking features for the second die. The component also includes a second encapsulant encapsulating the second die and forming a protective body for the component. A method for fabricating the component includes the steps of attaching the first die to the substrate, forming the first encapsulant on the first die, attaching the second die to the first encapsulant, and forming the second encapsulant on the second die.
摘要:
Flip-chip semiconductor assemblies, each including integrated circuit (IC) dice and an associated substrate, are electrically tested before encapsulation using an in-line or in situ test socket or probes at a die-attach station. Those assemblies using “wet” quick-cure epoxies for die attachment may be tested prior to the epoxy being cured by pressing the integrated circuit (IC) dice against interconnection points on the substrate for electrical connection, while those assemblies using “dry” epoxies may be cured prior to testing. In either case, any failures in the dice or in the interconnections between the dice and the substrates can be easily fixed, and the need for the use of known-good-die (KGD) rework procedures during repair is eliminated.

Methods and apparatuses for encapsulating a microelectronic die or other components in the fabrication of packaged microelectronic devices. In one aspect of the invention, a packaged microelectronic device assembly includes a microelectronic die, a substrate attached to the die, a protective casing covering a portion of the substrate, and a barrier projecting away from the surface of the substrate. The microelectronic die can have an integrated circuit and a plurality of bond-pads operatively coupled to the integrated circuit. The substrate can have a cap-zone defined by an area that is to be covered by the protective casing, a plurality of contact elements arranged in the cap-zone, a plurality of ball-pads arranged in a ball-pad array outside of the cap-zone, and a plurality of conductive lines coupling the contact elements to the ball-pads. The contact elements are electrically coupled to corresponding bond-pads on the microelectronic die, and the protective casing covers the cap-zone. The barrier on the surface of the substrate is configured so that at least a portion of the barrier is outside of the cap-zone and adjacent to at least a portion of the molded section. The barrier is a seal that inhibits the thermosetting material of the protective casing from covering a portion of the substrate outside of the cap-zone. As such, the barrier prevents thermosetting material from leaking between the substrate and a mold outside of the cap-zone during a molding process.

Techniques for fabricating multiple device components. Specifically, techniques for fabricating a stacked package comprising at least one I/C module and a multi-chip package. The multi-chip package includes a plurality of integrated circuit dices coupled to a carrier. The dice are encapsulated such that conductive elements are exposed through the encapsulant. The conductive elements are electrically coupled to the chips. The I/C module comprises an interposer having a plurality of integrated circuit dice disposed thereon. The dice of the I/C module are electrically coupled to the interposer via bondwires. The interposer is configured such that vias are aligned with the conductive elements on the multi-chip package. The multi-chip package and I/C module may be fabricated separately and subsequently coupled together to form a stacked package.

摘要:
An anisotropic electrically conducting interconnect is disclosed in which an adhesive comprising particles having a breakable coating of at least one electrically nonconductive material is compressed between a first contact and a second contact. Compression to two contacts breaks the breakable coating exposing an electrically conducting material which makes contact with the first and second contacts. The electrically conducting material may be a metal conductor or a two-part reactive conductive resin/catalyst system. Also disclosed are processes for making such electrical interconnects and adhesives for use in making electrical interconnect.

Apparatus and methods of automated wafer-grinding using grinding surface position monitoring. In one embodiment, an apparatus for grinding a working surface includes a grinding surface engageable with at least a portion of the working surface, and a feed mechanism that controllably adjusts a position of the grinding surface. The apparatus further includes a position sensor that senses a position of the grinding surface along an axis approximately normal to the working surface and a controller that receives a position signal from the position sensor and transmits a control signal to the feed mechanism in response to the position signal. In alternate embodiments, the position sensor may be an acoustic sensor, an optical sensor, or another type of sensor. The grinding surface may include a grinding material suspended in a binder, the grinding material being worn during grinding. In an alternate embodiment, an apparatus further includes a supplemental sensor that senses an operating characteristic and outputs a characteristic signal. The controller receives the characteristic signal and transmits the control signal to the feed mechanism based on at least one of the position signal or the characteristic signal. In alternate embodiments, the characteristic signal may include a pressure of the grinding surface on the working surface, a shaft speed of a drive shaft, or a current drawn by a drive motor.
