摘要:
An enhanced wafer level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) copper electrode post is described having one or more pins that protrude from the top of the electrode post. When the solder ball is soldered onto the post, the pins are encapsulated within the solder material. The pins not only add shear strength to the soldered joint between the solder ball and the electrode post but also create a more reliable electrical connection due to the increased surface area between the electrode post/pin combination and the solder ball. Moreover, creating an irregularly shaped solder joint retards the propagation of cracks that may form in the intermetal compounds (IMC) layer formed at the solder joint.

According to an embodiment, an integrated circuit package comprises a chip, a thermal component, and a molding compound. The chip comprises an active surface and a backside surface opposite the active surface. The thermal component is physically coupled to the backside surface of the chip. The molding compound encapsulates the chip, and an exposed surface of the thermal component is exposed through the molding compound. Another embodiment is a method to form an integrated circuit package.

The mechanisms of forming a copper post structures described enable formation of copper post structures on a flat conductive surface. In addition, the copper post structures are supported by a molding layer with a Young's modulus (or a harder material) higher than polyimide. The copper post structures formed greatly reduce the risk of cracking of passivation layer and delamination of at the dielectric interface surrounding the copper post structures.

A stress compensation for use in packaging, and a method of forming, is provided. The stress compensation layer is placed on an opposing side of a substrate from an integrated circuit die. The stress compensation layer is designed to counteract at least some of the stress exerted structures on the die side of the substrate, such as stresses exerted by a molding compound that at least partially encapsulates the first integrated circuit die. A package may also be electrically coupled to the substrate.

The described embodiments of mechanisms of forming connectors for package on package enable smaller connectors with finer pitch, which allow smaller package size and additional connections. The conductive elements on one package are partially embedded in the molding compound of the package to bond with contacts or metal pads on another package. By embedding the conductive elements, the conductive elements may be made smaller and there are is gaps between the conductive elements and the molding compound. A pitch of the connectors can be determined by adding a space margin to a maximum width of the connectors. Various types of contacts on the other package can be bonded to the conductive elements.

A device includes a work piece, and a metal trace on a surface of the work piece. A Bump-on-Trace (BOT) is formed at the surface of the work piece. The BOT structure includes a metal bump, and a solder bump bonding the metal bump to a portion of the metal trace. The metal trace includes a metal trace extension not covered by the solder bump.
摘要:
A stack structure of semiconductor packages and a method for fabricating the stack structure are provided. A plurality of electrical connection pads and dummy pads are formed on a surface of a substrate of an upper semiconductor package and at positions corresponding to those around an encapsulant of a lower semiconductor package. Solder balls are implanted to the electrical connection pads and the dummy pads. The upper semiconductor package is mounted on the lower semiconductor package. The upper semiconductor package is electrically connected to the lower semiconductor package by the solder balls implanted to the electrical connection pads, and the encapsulant of the lower semiconductor package is surrounded and confined by the solder balls implanted to the dummy pads. Thereby, the upper semiconductor package is properly and securely positioned on the lower semiconductor package, without the occurrence of misalignment between the upper and lower semiconductor packages.
