A device and method for localizing underfill includes a substrate, a plurality of dies, and underfill material. The substrate includes a plurality of contacts and a plurality of cavities separated by a plurality of mesas. The plurality of dies is mounted to the substrate using the plurality of contacts. The underfill material is located between the substrate and the dies. The underfill material is localized into a plurality of regions using the mesas. Each of the contacts is located in a respective one of the cavities. In some embodiments, the substrate further includes a plurality of channels interconnecting the cavities. In some embodiments, the substrate further includes a plurality of intra-cavity mesas for further localizing the underfill material. In some embodiments, outer edges of a first one of the dies rest on first mesas located on edges of a first one of the cavities.
摘要:
Die (110) and/or undiced wafers and/or multichip modules (MCMs) are attached on top of an interposer (120) or some other structure (e.g. another integrated circuit) and are covered by an encapsulant (160). Then the interposer is thinned from below. Before encapsulation, a layer (410) more rigid than the encapsulant is formed on the interposer around the die to reduce or eliminate interposer dishing between the die when the interposer is thinned by a mechanical process (e.g. CMP). Other features are also provided.

In one embodiment, a method for making a 3D Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) capacitor includes providing a substrate having a surface, forming an array of upstanding rods or ridges on the surface, depositing a first layer of an electroconductor on the surface and the array of rods or ridges, coating the first electroconductive layer with a layer of a dielectric, and depositing a second layer of an electroconductor on the dielectric layer. In some embodiments, the array of rods or ridges can be made of a photoresist material, and in others, can comprise bonded wires.

摘要:
An apparatus relates generally to a microelectronic package. In such an apparatus, a microelectronic die has a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a sidewall surface between the first and second surfaces. A plurality of wire bond wires with proximal ends thereof are coupled to either the first surface or the second surface of the microelectronic die with distal ends of the plurality of wire bond wires extending away from either the first surface or the second surface, respectively, of the microelectronic die. A portion of the plurality of wire bond wires extends outside a perimeter of the microelectronic die into a fan-out (“FO”) region. A molding material covers the first surface, the sidewall surface, and portions of the plurality of the wire bond wires from the first surface of the microelectronic die to an outer surface of the molding material.
摘要:
A microelectronic component (110, 120) has a contact pad (110C, 120C, 920C) recessed in a cavity (410) and covered by underfill tape (130). The cavity has a void (410V) below the underfill tape. A protruding contact pad of another microelectronic component ruptures the underfill tape to enter the cavity and bond to the recessed contact pad. The void helps in rupturing the underfill tape, thus reducing the amount of underfill residue between the two contact pads and improving the contact resistance. Also provided is a microelectronic component having a substrate with a cavity and having a through-substrate via extending into the cavity. Other features are also provided.
摘要:
In a multi-chip module (MCM), a “super” chip (110N) is attached to multiple “plain” chips (110F′ “super” and “plain” chips can be any chips). The super chip is positioned above the wiring board (WB) but below at least some of plain chips (110F). The plain chips overlap the super chip. Further, the plain chips' low speed IOs can be connected to the WB by long direct connections such as bond wires (e.g. BVAs) or solder stacks; such connections can be placed side by side with the super chip. Such connections can be long, so the super chip is not required to be thin. Also, if through-substrate vias (TSVs) are omitted, the manufacturing yield is high and the manufacturing cost is low. Other structures are provided that combine the short and long direct connections to obtain desired physical and electrical properties.

A method for making an integrated circuit package includes providing a handle wafer having a first region defining a cavity. A capacitor is formed in the first region. The capacitor has a pair of electrodes, each coupled to one of a pair of conductive pads, at least one of which is disposed on a lower surface of the handle wafer. An interposer having an upper surface with a conductive pad and at least one semiconductor die disposed thereon is also provided. The die has an integrated circuit that is electroconductively coupled to a redistribution layer (RDL) of the interposer. The lower surface of the handle wafer is bonded to the upper surface of the interposer such that the die is disposed below or within the cavity and the electroconductive pad of the handle wafer is bonded to the electroconductive pad of the interposer in a metal-to-metal bond.
摘要:
An interposer (110) has contact pads at the top and/or bottom surfaces for connection to circuit modules (e.g. ICs 112). The interposer includes a substrate made of multiple layers (110.i). Each layer can be a substrate (110S), possibly a ceramic substrate, with circuitry. The substrates extend vertically. Multiple interposers are fabricated in a single structure (310) made of vertical layers (310.i) corresponding to the interposers' layers. The structure is diced along horizontal planes (314) to provide the interposers. An interposer's vertical conductive lines (similar to through-substrate vias) can be formed on the substrates' surfaces before dicing and before all the substrates are attached to each other. Thus, there is no need to make through-substrate holes for the vertical conductive lines. Non-vertical features can also be formed on the substrates' surfaces before the substrates are attached to each other. Other embodiments are also provided.
