摘要:
A conductive via of a semiconductor device includes a relatively small diameter portion extending into an active surface of a fabrication substrate and a corresponding, relatively large diameter portion that extends into a back side of the fabrication substrate. This type of conductive via may be fabricated by forming the relatively small diameter portion before or during BEOL processing, while the large diameter portion of each conductive via may be fabricated after BEOL processing is complete. Electronic devices that include one or more semiconductor devices with such conductive vias are also disclosed.

Several embodiments of microelectronic configurations with logic components and associated methods of manufacturing are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the configuration includes a substrate with a recess, a first die carried by the substrate wherein the die substantially covers the recess, and a logic component carried by the die in a location exposed by the recess. The logic component can be substantially coplanar with the substrate. The die is electrically connected to a terminal on a one side of the substrate, and the logic component is electrically connected to a terminal on an opposite side of the substrate.

摘要:
A method for making low cost chip size semiconductor packages (“CSPs”) includes preparing a substrate having a first surface with metal pads and lands thereon, and an opposite second surface having openings in it through which the lands are exposed. A solder mask is formed over the first surface of the substrate, and has apertures in it through which the metal pads are exposed. At least one vent opening is formed through the substrate and solder mask. A semiconductor die is electrically connected to the substrate through the apertures in the solder mask using the “flip chip” connection method. A body of an insulative plastic material is formed on the surface of the solder mask that simultaneously overmolds the die and underfills the space between the solder mask and the die in a single step. Solder balls are attached to the lands through the openings in the second surface of the substrate to serve as package input/output terminals.
摘要:
A novel process for plating a substrate without solder mask wherein the substrate is coated with a polymer catalyst to assist adhesion of conductive metal to the substrate. Next, a first plating mask photopolymer, or plating resist, is coated over the polymer catalyst, a circuit pattern is imaged onto the first plating mask and the first plating mask is developed to reveal windows, or circuit traces, in the first plating mask corresponding to the circuit pattern to be embodied on the substrate. Thereafter, a first conductive material such as copper is plated into the windows, and, thereafter, a second conductive material such as nickel may be plated into the windows on top of the first conductive material. Then, the first plating mask is removed from the substrate, leaving behind the conductive material in the form of the desired circuit pattern. Next, a second plating mask photopolymer is formed over the substrate and conductive materials, and an I/O interconnect mask corresponding to the I/O interconnect pads is photo-optically imaged onto the second plating mask and the second plating mask is developed to remove portions thereof, creating "interconnect voids," corresponding to the interconnect pads. Thereafter, a third conductive material such as gold is plated into the interconnect voids to create conductive I/O pads.

Several embodiments of light emitting diode packaging configurations including a substrate with a cavity are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a cavity is formed on a substrate to contain an LED and phosphor layer. The substrate has a channel separating the substrate into a first portion containing the cavity and a second portion. A filler of encapsulant material or other electrically insulating material is molded in the channel. The first portion can serve as a cathode for the LED and the second portion can serve as the anode.
