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 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.

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.

Embodiments of a leadframe for a device packaging are used not only for structural support and connectivity to the I/O pins to the external world, but also for housing and/or mounting devices above and below the leadframe. Being electrically conductive, the leadframe also serves as a low resistance interconnect and good current carrier between the bondpads on one device or between the bondpads on different devices above and/or below the leadframe.

A light shield is provided for light sensitive flip chip integrated circuits. The flip chip includes an under bump layer to portions of which solder bumps are attached. A separate portion of this under bump layer is used to provide the light shield. The light shield excludes ambient light from the most light sensitive portions of the circuit so that the electrical characteristics of the flip chip integrated circuit are not significantly altered when the flip chip is operated in ambient light.

Wafer level techniques for marking the back surfaces of integrated circuit devices are described. A wafer mounting tape is provided that includes releasable pigments. The pigments can be released by exposing the mounting tape to a selected frequency of electromagnetic radiation (e.g., UV light). The released pigments mark the back surface of the wafer. The exposure and pigmentation may be controlled using a variety of techniques including servo control of a light source, the use of masks or reticles or other suitable techniques. The marking may be done on any suitable back surface material including polymeric backcoatings, metalized films or directly on semiconductor materials.

An integrated circuit device comprising a semiconductor die having a plurality of conductive pads. Over the conductive pads is formed a passivation layer that has a plurality of passivation layer openings. The passivation layer openings are positioned over an associated one of the conductive pads. Barrier base pads are placed in electrical contact with the conductive pads such that a portion of each of barrier base pads cover at least the perimeter of each passivation layer opening. Each of the barrier base pads prevents cracks from propagating through the integrated circuit device. In another aspect of the invention, the integrated circuit device is attached to an external substrate by connecting the contact bumps to the bond pads on an electronic substrate. In yet another aspect of the invention, a method for manufacturing the integrated circuit device is described.
