摘要:
A wafer level fabricated chip scale integrated circuit package having an air gap formed between the integrated circuit die of the package and compliant leads located over and conductively attached to the die is described. Contact bumps offset on the compliant leads provide for connection of the integrated circuit package to other substrates. In some embodiments, the compliant leads include a conductive layer overlaid with an outer resilient layer, and may further include an inner resilient layer beneath the conductive layer. The outer resilient layer has a via formed through it exposing the underlying conductive layer. The via is offset along the compliant lead a horizontal distance from the bond pad to which the compliant lead is conductively coupled. The chip scale package provides a highly compliant connection between the die and any substrate that the die is attached to.

The present invention provides a low cost carrier tape designed to store chips during transportation. The invention comprises a carrier tape which contains receptacle holes designed to secure chips onto the carrier tape by clasping onto the chip's electrical contacts. The receptacle holes prevent the chip from rotating and physically moving. The receptacle holes are formed in patterns to match the standardized electrical contact patterns of flip chip families. The diameters of the receptacle holes may be sized slightly smaller than the diameter of electrical contacts such that a chip is secured by “snap-fitting” each electrical contact into a receptacle hole. Relief slits may be formed on the edges of the receptacle holes to facilitate the “snap-fitting” of electrical contacts into receptacle holes.

A semiconductor device comprising a mark located on a surface of the semiconductor device and a metal layer covering the marked surface and the mark. The metal layer functions to protect the semiconductor device from exposure to electromagnetic radiation and allows the mark to be visible for identification purposes. The present invention also pertains a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device as described. The method involves forming a mark on a semiconductor substrate surface of the device and covering the semiconductor substrate surface and the mark with a layer of metal so that the device is protected from exposure to electromagnetic radiation and allows the mark to be visible for identification purposes.

A wafer level fabricated integrated circuit package having an air gap formed between the integrated circuit die of the package and a flexible circuit film located over and conductively attached to the die though raised interconnects formed on the die is described. The flexible circuit film further includes routing conductors that connect inner landings on the bottom surface of the flexible circuit film with outer landings on the top surface of the flexible circuit film. The outer landings are offset a horizontal distance from the inner landings. In some embodiments, contact bumps are formed on the outer landings of the flexible circuit film layer for use in connecting the package to other substrates. The wafer level chip scale package provides a highly compliant connection between the die and any other substrate that the die is attached to.

Enclosed re-programmable non-volatile memory cards include at least two sets of electrical contacts to which the internal memory is connected. The two sets of contacts have different patterns, preferably in accordance with two different contact standards such as a memory card standard and that of the Universal Serial Bus (USB). One memory card standard that can be followed is that of the Secure Digital (SD) card. The cards can thus be used with different hosts that are compatible with one set of contacts but not the other. A cover that is hinged to the card to normally cover one set of contacts can be manually rotated out of the way when that set of contacts is being used.

The present invention, roughly described, pertains to a small memory card that includes features which allow the memory card to be more easily handled by a user. In various embodiments, the memory card can include a chamfer and/or a raised portion that allows the memory card to be more easily grabbed by a human hand (or mechanical device) and also provides additional room to store passive devices such as capacitors and/or resistors. Because different electronic devices use different types of memory cards, an adaptor is provided that allows the memory cards disclosed herein to be used in ports or connectors on electronic devices that are meant for other types of memory cards.

Improved techniques to produce integrated circuit products are disclosed. The improved techniques permit smaller and less costly production of integrated circuit products. One aspect of the invention is that the integrated circuit products are produced a batch at a time, and that singulation of the batch into individualized integrated circuit products uses a non-linear (e.g., non-rectangular or curvilinear) sawing or cutting action so that the resulting individualized integrated circuit packages no longer need to be completely rectangular. Another aspect of the invention is that the integrated circuit products can be produced with semiconductor assembly processing such that the need to provide an external package or container becomes optional.
