摘要:
A mold apparatus for encapsulating IC chips mounted on a substrate. In an exemplary embodiment a mold is provided with an upper mold platen having a plurality of cavities for encapsulating wire bonds and related interconnections on a first side of a multi-chip carrier substrate. The mold further includes a lower mold platen with a single cavity for encapsulating substantially the entire second chip side of the carrier substrate. Support elements are provided for supporting the multi-chip carrier substrate. The support elements are configured to prevent or minimize substrate deflection during the fill of the mold cavities with encapsulant material. The support elements may be integral to a mold cavity or may be removable. The support elements may further be aligned along lines representing a series of individual device packages. The molded assembly may then be cut along marks left in the encapsulant to define individual device packages.

The present invention provides an encapsulation method and apparatus that allows high throughput production of reliable, high quality board-on-chip packages, or other semiconductor die packages, from a multi-chip array arrangement on a carrier substrate. In an exemplary embodiment relating to a board-on-chip array, a mold is provided with an upper mold platen and a plurality of upper mold platen cavities for encapsulating wire bonds and related interconnections on a first side of a multi-chip carrier substrate. The mold further includes a lower mold platen and a lower mold platen cavity for encapsulating substantially the entire second side of the carrier substrate, to include a plurality IC chips mounted thereon in array fashion. Substrate support elements, in the form of standoffs pins or bosses, are provided for supporting the multi-chip carrier substrate during the encapsulation process. The standoff pins or bosses are configured to contact, or nearly contact, the die side area of the multi-chip carrier substrate to prevent or minimize substrate deflection during the fill of the mold cavities with encapsulant material. The standoff pins or bosses may be integral to a mold cavity or may be removable. The standoff pins or bosses may further be aligned along edges of lines representing a series of individual device packages. A singulation saw may be used to cut along marks left in the encapsulation to define individual device packages. The individual packages formed by the methods of the present invention may be used to construct a semiconductor device assembly.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor package is performed using a mold tooling fixture having a mold cavity and a pair of flash control cavities on either side of the mold cavity. The semiconductor package includes a substrate and a semiconductor die attached to the substrate. The substrate includes a pattern of conductors wire bonded to the die, and an array of solder balls bonded to ball bonding pads on the conductors. In addition, the substrate includes a die encapsulant encapsulating the die, and a wire bond encapsulant encapsulating the wire bonds. During molding of the wire bond encapsulant, the flash control cavities collect flash, and provide pressure relief for venting the mold cavity. In addition, the flash control cavities restrict the flash to a selected area of the package substrate, such that the ball bonding pads and solder balls are not contaminated.

摘要:
The invention is a variable gain non-Lambertian screen surface (12) for employment in a visual display system. The screen surface provides constant image brightness, independent of changes in viewing angle (22). It is therefore suitable for off-axis viewing. The screen gain continuously varies from a magnitude of one to infinity at different portions on the screen surface in such a manner that the equivalent gain preceived by an off-axis viewer (16) corresponds to the viewer perceiving constant image brightness, independent of changes in the viewing angle.
