摘要:
The present inventions relate to methods and arrangements for using a thin foil to form electrical interconnects in an integrated circuit package. One embodiment of the present invention involves attaching multiple dice to a foil carrier structure. The foil carrier structure is made of a thin foil that is bonded to a carrier. The dice and at least a portion of the metallic foil is then encapsulated with a molding material. The carrier is removed, leaving behind a molded foil structure. The exposed foil is patterned and etched using photolithographic techniques to define multiple device areas in the foil. Each device area includes multiple conductive lines. Afterwards, portions of the conductive lines are covered with a dielectric material and other portions are left exposed to define multiple bond pads in the device area. The molded foil structure can be singulated to form multiple integrated circuit packages.

Integrated circuit (IC) package structures and IC package fabrication techniques are provided. The IC package substrate is formed from a metal sheet that is patterned to form a substrate with pads and leads. These pads and leads are pattered throughout the substrate including at least part of the die mounting area. The die is mounted onto the die mounting area of the lead-frame, and respective bonding terminals on the die are electrically connected to the associated bonding areas on the patterned leads. A protective encapsulant is molded to cover the die, bond wires, and most, if not all, of the patterned substrate. Contacts for external electrical connection are formed onto the bottom of the pads.

In one aspect of the present invention, an integrated circuit package will be described. The integrated circuit package includes at least two integrated circuits that are attached with a substrate. The integrated circuits and the substrates are at least partially encapsulated in a molding material. There is a groove or air gap that extends partially through the molding material and that is arranged to form a thermal barrier between the integrated circuits.

Apparatuses and methods for inkjet printing electrical interconnect patterns such as leadframes for integrated circuit devices are disclosed. An apparatus for packaging includes a thin substrate adapted for high temperature processing, and an attach pad and contact regions that are inkjet printed to the thin substrate using a metallic nanoink. The nanoink is then cured to remove liquid content. The residual metallic leadframe or electrical interconnect pattern has a substantially consistent thickness of about 10 to 50 microns or less. An associated panel assembly includes a conductive substrate panel having multiple separate device arrays comprising numerous electrical interconnect patterns each, a plurality of integrated circuit devices mounted on the conductive substrate panel, and a molded cap that encapsulates the integrated circuit devices and associated electrical interconnect patterns. The molded cap is of substantially uniform thickness over each separate device array, and extends into the space between separate device arrays.

A method of packaging an integrated circuit die having a plurality of I/O pads is described. The method includes positioning the die within a die attach area of a first leadframe that includes a plurality of first leads. The method also includes positioning a second leadframe that includes a plurality of second leads over the first leadframe. The method further includes electrically connecting each of the second leads to both an associated I/O pad and a first lead.

A semiconductor device is described. The device includes an integrated circuit die having an active surface that includes a plurality of input/output (I/O) pads. The device further includes a plurality of crack resistant structures. Each crack resistant structure is formed over an associated I/O pad and includes an associated raised portion. Each I/O pad may be bumped with solder such that a solder bump is formed over the associated crack resistant structure on the I/O pad.

A stacked multi-chip package is described in which a base die is electrically connected to both an interconnect structure (e.g., a lead frame or a substrate) and a stacked die. A first encapsulant is used to cover some, but not all of the bond pads on a base die as well as portions of their associated electrical connectors (e.g. bonding wires). A surface of the first encapsulant is arranged to support the stacked die. The stacked die is directly electrically connected to bond pads that are not covered by the first encapsulant. A second encapsulant at least partially encapsulates the base and stacked dice and the various electrical connectors. With this arrangement, a stacked multi-chip semiconductor package is provided that includes a direct die-to-die electrical connection. The described arrangement is particularly well suited for use in packages, such as many power packages, in which at least one of the bond pads on the die is centrally located on the active surface of the die and the first encapsulant covers at least a portion of an electrical connector attached to the centrally located bond pad.

A method for providing passive circuit functions in a multi-chip module and the multi-chip modules that result from incorporating these function is disclosed. Passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors are fabricated on or within a non-conductive spacer. The spacer is then placed between two active semiconductor dies and coupled electrically to either one or both of the dies. In this manner, area of the active dies that would normally have to be used for such passive components is freed for other uses and the spacer, which was already required in multi-chip modules, is endowed with extra functionality. In another embodiment, one or both surfaces of the spacer are coated with a conductive metal and the passive components are located within the spacer. In this embodiment, the spacer provides electromagnetic interference protection between the active dies.

Integrated circuit packages having offset segmentation, or splitting, of package power and/or ground layers and methods for preventing delamination in package substrates having segmented power and/or ground layers are described. The package substrate includes a plurality of split power and/or ground plane layers that are isolated by split lines. The split lines from at least two of the split power and/or ground plane layers are offset relative to one another. In some embodiments, in addition to being offset, the split lines may be arranged to minimize their respective cross-over points, as well as convoluted to increase their effective length.
