One aspect of the invention pertains to a semiconductor package having a die and a die attach pad with a plurality of spaced apart pedestals supported by a web. A die is mounted on the die attach pad such that the die is supported by at least a plurality of the pedestals. Selected edge regions of the die are arranged to overlie recessed regions of the die attach pad between adjacent pedestals. The die is electrically connected to at least some of the contact leads. An adhesive is arranged to secure the die to the die attach pad, with the thickness of the adhesive between the web of the die attach pad and the die being greater than the thickness of the adhesive between the die and the top surfaces of the pedestals that support the die. The die attach pad may have rounded peripheral corners between adjacent edge surfaces of the die attach pad. In another aspect of the invention, a method of packaging integrated circuits is described, wherein the resulting packages include at least some of the aforementioned leadframe structures.

An under bond pad structure is described for integrated circuit dice are that have active circuits located below at least some of the bond pads. The metallization layers interconnection structures within the die are arranged so that electrically conductive vias do not extend between the bond pads and any underlying metallization layer in a region that overlies an active circuit. In some embodiments, no conductive vias are provided between any of the metallization layers in regions that underlie the bond pads and overlie an active circuit. The described arrangements significantly improve the resistance to cracking in the dielectric layers beneath the bond pad (and particularly the topmost intermediate dielectric layer) when wire bonding is used to electrically connect such dice within a package.

One aspect of the invention pertains to a semiconductor die with rounded sidewall junction edge corners. Such rounding reduces stress accumulations at those corners. In other embodiments of the invention, the sharpness of other corners and edges in the die are reduced. For example, reducing the sharpness of the bottom edge corners formed by the intersection of a sidewall and the back surface of a die can further diminish stress accumulations. One embodiment pertains to a wafer carried on a wafer support, where the wafer includes a multiplicity of such dice. Another embodiment involves a semiconductor package containing such dice. Methods of fabricating the dice are also described.
