摘要:
An IC package including one or more z-axis interconnects for performing at least in part the fan-in/fan out interconnection for electrically coupling contacts of semiconductor die to external contacts of the package. The z-axis interconnect comprises a matrix of electrically conducting elements extending from the top to the bottom surface of the interconnect. Each conductive element is internally insulated from other conductive elements of the matrix. The semiconductor contacts may be electrically coupled to separate portions of the matrix by way of electrical connections to the top of the z-axis interconnect. Similarly, the external contacts of the package may be electrically coupled to the same separate portions of the matrix by way electrical connections to the bottom of the interconnect. The z-axis interconnect improves the miniaturization, integration, thermal and electrical performance of IC packages. The z-axis interconnect need not be limited to IC package applications, but may be used to electrically interconnect other configurations.

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving the thermal performance of integrated circuit packages. Aspects of the present invention include improved thermal package structures and methods for producing the same through the application of one or more thermal spreaders in the package. In embodiments, a thermal spreader is incorporated in a semiconductor chip package between a semiconductor die and its die pad. By including a thermal spreader in an IC package, the package can handle higher levels of power while maintaining approximately the same temperature of the package or can reduce the temperature of the package when operating at the same power level, as compared to a package without a thermal spreader.

摘要:
IC package structures for high power dissipation and low RDSon. The package can be considered an inverted QFN package typically manufactured from a double etched lead frame that is then formed (stamped) to receive the electronic devices for connection and wire bonding to the lead frame leads, followed by potting and dicing. Using a split paddle allows the packaging of multiple, electrically isolated power devices. The package is particularly advantageous for packaging vertical power MOSFET devices. Various embodiments are disclosed.
