摘要:
The described embodiments of mechanisms of forming a package on package (PoP) structure involve bonding with connectors with non-solder metal balls to a packaging substrate. The non-solder metal balls may include a solder coating layer. The connectors with non-solder metal balls can maintain substantially the shape of the connectors and control the height of the bonding structures between upper and lower packages. The connectors with non-solder metal balls are also less likely to result in bridging between connectors or disconnection (or cold joint) of bonded connectors. As a result, the pitch of the connectors with non-solder metal balls can be kept small.

A package-on-package (PoP) structure comprises a first package and a second package. The first package comprises a first die, a second die, and a core material. The core material has a first surface and a second surface. A first redistribution layer (RDL) is on the first surface, and a second RDL is on the second surface. The first die is disposed in the core material between the first surface and the second surface. The second die is coupled to one of the first RDL and the second RDL. The second package comprises a third die and an interposer. The interposer has a first side and a second side. The third die is coupled to the second side of the interposer. The first package is coupled to the second package by first electrical connectors coupled to the second side of the interposer and the first RDL.

A method includes performing an etching step on a package. The package includes a package component, a connector on a top surface of the package component, a die bonded to the top surface of the package component, and a molding material molded over the top surface of the package component. The molding material covers the connector, wherein a portion of the molding material covering the connector is removed by the etching step, and the connector is exposed.
摘要:
A method includes forming an under-bump metallurgy (UBM) layer overlying a substrate, and forming a mask overlying the UBM layer. The mask covers a first portion of the UBM layer, and a second portion of the UBM layer is exposed through an opening in the mask. A metal bump is formed in the opening and on the second portion of the UBM layer. The mask is then removed. A laser removal is performed to remove a part of the first portion of the UBM layer and to form an UBM.
