Abstract:
A semiconductor device is made by providing a temporary carrier and providing a semiconductor die having a plurality of bumps formed on its active surface. An adhesive material is deposited as a plurality of islands or bumps on the carrier or active surface of the semiconductor die. The adhesive layer can also be deposited as a continuous layer over the carrier or active surface of the die. The semiconductor die is mounted to the carrier. An encapsulant is deposited over the die and carrier. The adhesive material holds the semiconductor die in place to the carrier while depositing the encapsulant. An interconnect structure is formed over the active surface of the die. The interconnect structure is electrically connected to the bumps of the semiconductor die. The adhesive material can be removed prior to forming the interconnect structure, or the interconnect structure can be formed over the adhesive material.
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 method of making a semiconductor device comprises the steps of providing a first manufacturing line, providing a second manufacturing line, and forming a first redistribution interconnect structure using the first manufacturing line while simultaneously forming a second redistribution interconnect structure using the second manufacturing line. The method further includes the steps of testing a first unit of the first redistribution interconnect structure to determine a first known good unit (KGU), disposing a known good semiconductor die (KGD) over the first KGU of the first redistribution interconnect structure, testing a unit of the second redistribution interconnect structure to determine a second known good unit (KGU, and disposing the second KGU of the second redistribution interconnect structure over the first KGU of the first redistribution interconnect structure and the KGD. A resolution of the second manufacturing line is greater than a resolution of the first manufacturing line.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a first semiconductor die including TSVs mounted to a carrier with a thermally releasable layer. A first encapsulant having a first coefficient of thermal expansion CTE is deposited over the first semiconductor die. The first encapsulant includes an elevated portion in a periphery of the first encapsulant that reduces warpage. A surface of the TSVs is exposed. A second semiconductor die is mounted to the surface of the TSVs and forms a gap between the first and second semiconductor die. A second encapsulant having a second CTE is deposited over the first and second semiconductor die and within the gap. The first CTE is greater than the second CTE. In one embodiment, the first and second encapsulants are formed in a chase mold. An interconnect structure is formed over the first and second semiconductor die.

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.
