Abstract:
A semiconductor device is made by providing a substrate, forming a first insulation layer over the substrate, forming a first conductive layer over the first insulation layer, forming a second insulation layer over the first conductive layer, and forming a second conductive layer over the second insulation layer. A portion of the second insulation layer, first conductive layer, and second conductive layer form an integrated passive device (IPD). The IPD can be an inductor, capacitor, or resistor. A plurality of conductive pillars is formed over the second conductive layer. One conductive pillar removes heat from the semiconductor device. A third insulation layer is formed over the IPD and around the plurality of conductive pillars. A shield layer is formed over the IPD, third insulation layer, and conductive pillars. The shield layer is electrically connected to the conductive pillars to shield the IPD from electromagnetic interference.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a TSV semiconductor wafer with a cavity formed in a first surface of the wafer. A second cavity can be formed in a second surface of the wafer. A plurality of semiconductor die is mounted within the cavities. The semiconductor die can be mounted side-by-side and/or stacked within the cavity. Conductive TSV can be formed through the die. An encapsulant is deposited within the cavity over the die. A CTE of the die is similar to a CTE of the encapsulant. A first interconnect structure is formed over a first surface of the encapsulant and wafer. A second interconnect structure is formed over a second surface of the encapsulant and wafer. The first and second interconnect structure are electrically connected to the TSV wafer. A second semiconductor die can be mounted over the first interconnect structure with encapsulant deposited over the second die.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die and an encapsulant around the semiconductor die. A fan-in interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die while leaving the encapsulant devoid of the interconnect structure. The fan-in interconnect structure includes an insulating layer and a conductive layer formed over the semiconductor die. The conductive layer remains within a footprint of the semiconductor die. A portion of encapsulant is removed from over the semiconductor die. A backside protection layer is formed over a non-active surface of the semiconductor die after depositing the encapsulant. The backside protection layer is formed by screen printing or lamination. The backside protection layer includes an opaque, transparent, or translucent material. The backside protection layer is marked for alignment using a laser. A reconstituted panel including the semiconductor die is singulated through the encapsulant to leave encapsulant disposed over a sidewall of the semiconductor die.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die and first insulating layer formed over the semiconductor die. A plurality of first micro-vias can be formed in the first insulating layer. A conductive layer is formed in the first micro-openings and over the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer is formed over the first insulating layer and conductive layer.

Removing the portion of the second insulating layer leaves an island of the second insulating layer over the conductive layer. A bump is formed over the conductive layer. A third insulating layer is formed in the second micro-openings over the bump. The second micro-openings provide stress relief.
