Methods and apparatuses to provide a stacked-die device comprised of stacked sub-packages. For one embodiment of the invention, each sub-package has interconnections formed on the die-side of the substrate for interconnecting to another sub-package. The dies and associated wires are protected by an encapsulant leaving an upper portion of each interconnection exposed. For one embodiment of the invention the encapsulant is a stencil-printable encapsulant and the upper portion of the interconnection is exposed by use of a patterned stencil during application of the encapsulant.

Methods for soldering a ball grid array (BGA) integrated circuit package to a printed circuit board. One method includes the steps of applying a solder flux to the conductive surface pads of a printed circuit board and capturing a plurality of solder balls with a separate fixture. The fixture is then placed onto the printed circuit board and the solder balls are released onto the conductive surface pads. The fixture is removed and an integrated circuit package is placed onto the solder balls. Solder flux may be applied to the bottom of the package to adhere the package to the balls. The solder balls are then reflowed to attach the package to the board. The flux provides a bonding agent which maintains the position of the solder balls and package while the solder is being reflowed. Another method includes the step of placing a fixture adjacent to the integrated circuit package so that a plurality of openings in the fixture are aligned with surface pads located on the bottom surface of the package. Solder balls are then placed into the fixture holes, adjacent to the surface pads of the package. The solder is then reflowed and the fixture is removed so that the package and solder balls can be subsequently soldered to a printed circuit board.
摘要:
An integrated circuit package which has internal bonding pads that are located on bonding shelves and coupled to internal conductive power/ground planes by conductive strips that extend along the edges of the shelves. The edge strips eliminate the need for conventional vias to couple the bonding pads to the planes and thus reduce the cost and size of the package and improve package electrical performance (less inductive, less resistance path). The bonding pads are coupled to an integrated circuit that is mounted to a heat slug attached to a top surface of the package. The heat slug can function as both a ground path and a thermal sink for the integrated circuit. The package may have capacitors coupled to the internal routing of the package to reduce the electrical noise of the signals provided to the integrated circuit. Additionally, the package may have multiple power planes dedicated to different voltage levels. The bonding pads and conductive planes are coupled to landing pads located on a bottom surface of the package. Attached to the landing pads are solder balls which can be soldered to an external printed circuit board.
摘要:
A method and resulting structure for constructing an IC package utilizing thin film technology. The package has a bottom conductive plate that has a layer of ceramic vapor deposited onto the plate in a predetermined pattern. Adjacent to the insulative layer of ceramic is a layer of conductive metal vapor deposited onto the ceramic. The layer of metal can be laid down onto the ceramic in a predetermined pattern to create a power plane, a plurality of signal lines, or a combination of power planes and signal lines. On top of the layer of conductive material is a lead frame separated by a layer of insulative polyimide material. The polyimide material has a plurality of holes filled with a conductive material, which electrically couple the layer of conductive material with the leads of the lead frame. The power and ground pads of the integrated circuit are connected to the layer of vapor deposited conductive material and conductive plate, which are also coupled to the corresponding leads of the lead frame, thereby connecting the IC to the leads of the lead frame. The signal pads of the IC are connected to the lead frame and/or signal lines formed within the layer of vapor deposited conductive material. The IC and attached circuit package can then be encapsulated in a plastic shell.
摘要:
A multi-layered molded plastic package for encapsulating an integrated circuit is described. The package includes a carrier having a double-layered metal plate which are separated by an adhesive coated insulation tape. A second insulating tape layer is used to bond externally extending leads onto one of the metal plates. Power and ground connections from the terminal of the integrated circuit are made to each of the plates, respectively, as are the power and ground lead connections to the two plates. The power and ground planes remove the requirement for direct physical connection between the power and ground terminals of the integrated circuit and their respective leads.
