Methods for fabricating an imager die package and resulting die packages are disclosed. An imager die packaging process may include dicing through a fabrication substrate comprising a plurality of imager die. Thereafter, known good die (KGD) qualified from the imager die are repopulated, face down on a high temperature-compatible temporary carrier, the KGD on the temporary carrier are encapsulated and thereafter removed as a reconstructed wafer from the temporary carrier. Furthermore, a first plurality of discrete conductive elements on a back side of the reconstructed wafer may be partially exposed and, optionally, a second plurality of discrete conductive elements may be applied to the first plurality of discrete conductive elements. The encapsulated KGD are then singulated.

The following disclosure describes several embodiments of (1) methods for wafer-level packaging of microelectronic imagers, (2) methods of forming electrically conductive interconnects in microelectronic imagers, (3) methods for forming optical devices for microelectronic imagers, and (4) microelectronic imagers that have been packaged using wafer-level packaging processes. Wafer-level packaging of microelectronic imagers is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency of manufacturing microelectronic imagers because a plurality of imagers can be packaged simultaneously using highly accurate and efficient processes developed for packaging semiconductor devices. Moreover, wafer-level packaging of microelectronic imagers is expected to enhance the quality and performance of such imagers because the semiconductor fabrication processes can reliably align an optical device with an image sensor and space the optical device apart from the image sensor by a desired distance with a higher degree of precision.

摘要:
A vertically mountable semiconductor device assembly including a semiconductor device and a mechanism for attaching the semiconductor device to a carrier substrate. The semiconductor device has each of its bond pads disposed proximate a single edge thereof. Preferably, at least a portion of the semiconductor device is exposed. An alignment device is attached to a carrier substrate. A mounting element on the vertically mountable semiconductor device package engages the alignment device to interconnect the semiconductor device and the alignment device. Preferably, the alignment device secures the vertically mountable semiconductor device package perpendicular relative to the carrier substrate. The distance between the bond pads and corresponding terminals on the carrier substrate is very small in order to reduce impedance. The vertically mountable semiconductor device package may also be readily user-upgradeable.

A method for fabricating a semiconductor component with through interconnects can include the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate with substrate contacts, and forming openings from a backside of the substrate aligned with the substrate contacts. The method can also include the steps of providing an interposer substrate (or alternately a second semiconductor substrate), forming projections on the interposer substrate (or on the second semiconductor substrate), and forming conductive vias in the projections. The method can also include the steps of placing the projections in physical contact with the openings, and placing the conductive vias in electrical contact with the substrate contacts. The method can also include the steps of bonding the conductive vias to the substrate contacts, and forming terminal contacts on the interposer substrate (or alternately on one of the semiconductor substrates) in electrical communication with the conductive vias.

Printed tape is used to form a leads on chip (LOC) ball grid array (BGA) semiconductor device. Leads for a plurality of devices may be applied simultaneously. Bond wires, glob top encapsulant, and the ball grid arrays for the devices may be formed in single process steps. A low temperature curing adhesive material may be used to reduce the effects of differential thermal expansion between the tape and surface of the wafer. In another embodiment of the invention, anisotropically conductive adhesive material is used to connect bond pads on a wafer to leads printed on a tape.
