Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a vertically offset BOT interconnect structure. The vertical offset is achieved with a leadframe having a plurality of lead fingers around a die paddle. A first conductive layer is formed over the lead fingers. A second conductive layer is formed over the lead fingers. Each second conductive layer is positioned adjacent to the first conductive layer and each first conductive layer is positioned adjacent to the second conductive layer. The second conductive layer has a height greater than a height of the first conductive layer. The first and second conductive layers can have a side-by-side arrangement or staggered arrangement. Bumps are formed over the first and second conductive layers. Bond wires are electrically connected to the bumps. A semiconductor die is mounted over the die paddle of the leadframe and electrically connected to the bond wires and BOT interconnect structure.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a substrate and first conductive layer formed over the substrate. An insulating layer is formed over the first substrate with an opening over the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is formed within the opening of the insulating layer. A portion of the second conductive layer is removed to expose a horizontal surface and side surfaces of the second conductive layer below a surface of the insulating layer. The second conductive layer has non-linear surfaces to extend a contact area of the second conductive layer. The horizontal surface and side surfaces can be stepped surfaces or formed as a ring. A third conductive layer is formed over the second conductive layer. A plurality of bumps is formed over the horizontal surface and side surfaces of the second conductive layer. A semiconductor die is mounted to the substrate.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a flipchip or PoP semiconductor die mounted to a die attach area interior to a substrate. The substrate has a contact pad area around the die attach area and flow control area between the die attach area and contact pad area. A first channel is formed in a surface of the substrate within the flow control area. The first channel extends around a periphery of the die attach area. A first dam material is formed adjacent to the first channel within the flow control area. An underfill material is deposited between the die and substrate. The first channel and first dam material control outward flow of the underfill material to prevent excess underfill material from covering the contact pad area. A second channel can be formed adjacent to the first dam material. A second dam material can be formed adjacent to the first channel.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die. An interconnect structure is formed over an active surface of the semiconductor die. An encapsulant is formed over the semiconductor die and interconnect structure including a first surface opposite the interconnect structure. A peripheral portion of the first surface includes a first roughness disposed outside a footprint of the semiconductor die. A semiconductor die portion of the first surface includes a second roughness less than the first roughness disposed over the footprint of the semiconductor die. The first surface of the encapsulant is disposed within a mold and around the semiconductor die to contact a surface of the mold that includes a third roughness equal to the first roughness and a fourth roughness equal to the second roughness. The first roughness includes a roughness of less than 1.0 micrometers. The second roughness includes a roughness in a range of 1.2-1.8 micrometers.

Abstract:
An interconnect structure for a semiconductor device is made by forming a contact pad on a substrate, forming an under bump metallization layer over the contact pad, forming a photoresist layer over the substrate, removing a portion of the photoresist layer to form an opening which exposes the UBM, depositing a first conductive material into the opening of the photoresist, removing the photoresist layer, depositing a second conductive material over the first conductive material, and coating the second conductive material with an organic solderability preservative. The interconnect structure is formed without solder reflow. The first conductive layer is nickel and the second conductive layer is copper. The organic solderability preservative is made with benzotriazole, rosin, rosin esters, benzimidazole compounds, or imidazole compounds. The interconnect structure decreases the pitch between the core pillars in the interconnect array and increases the density of I/O contacts on the semiconductor device.

The device includes a second raised conductive layer disposed beneath the second surface and an interconnect structure disposed on the first recessed and raised conductive layers and the second recessed and raised conductive layers. A second vertical offset exists between a lower surface of the second recessed conductive layer and a lower surface of the second recessed conductive layer.
