摘要:
An externally-embedded heat-dissipating device is designed for use with a BGA (Ball Grid Array) IC package for dissipating the IC-produced heat during operation to the atmosphere. that can help further increase the efficiency of heat dissipation from the BGA IC package. The heat-dissipating device is characterized in that it can be externally embedded in the top surface of the encapsulant without having to be supported on the substrate, and also in that it can help reduce the heat path from the IC chip to the heat-dissipating device so that heat-dissipation efficiency can be further increased as compared to the prior art. Further, the heat-dissipating device can help reduce manufacture cycle time and cost and also help prevent delamination, flash, and popcorn effect that would otherwise occur in the case of the prior art. It also can help save layout space over the substrate for compact design of the package. Overall speaking, the proposed heat-dissipating device is more advantageous to use than the prior art.

A BGA (Ball-Grid Array) IC package with an unembedded type of heat-dissipation structure is proposed. The unembedded type of heat-dissipation structure is characterized in that a plurality of thermally-conductive vias are formed in the substrate and extending from the die-attachment area to the back side of the substrate; and further, a plurality of thermally-conductive balls are bonded to the thermally-conductive vias on the back side of the substrate. Moreover, a thermally-conductive layer is formed over a thermally-conductive area on the back side of the substrate on which the thermally-conductive balls are mounted for the purpose of increasing the exposed area of the overall heat-dissipation structure to the atmosphere. This allows the IC-produced heat during operation to be conducted through the thermally-conductive vias, the thermally-conductive balls, and the thermally-conductive layer to be dissipated the atmosphere. The unembedded manner of integration requires no openings to be formed in the substrate that would otherwise allow ambient moisture to enter into the inside of the package body as in the case of the prior art, and also allows the heat-dissipation structure to be more easily integrated to the package configuration. Due to these benefits, the BGA IC package can be manufactured through a more simplified and cost-effective process, while nevertheless providing a high heat-dissipation efficiency.

A QFN (Quad Flat Non-leaded) semiconductor packaging technology is proposed, which can be used to package a semiconductor chip of a central-pad type having at least one row of bond pads arranged along a center line on one surface of the semiconductor chip. The proposed semiconductor packaging technology is based on a specially-designed leadframe which is formed with a plurality of leads, a chip-support-and-grounding structure, and at least one ground wing; wherein the chip-support-and-grounding structure serves both as a die pad and a ground bus for the packaged chip, and the ground wing is electrically linked to the chip-support-and-grounding structure. After encapsulation process is completed, the ground wing as well as the outer lead portions are exposed to the bottom outside of the encapsulation body, which can be then bonded a PCB's ground plane during SMT (Surface Mount Technology) process, thus enhancing the grounding effect and the electrical performance of the packaged chip during operation.

A substrate of a semiconductor package is proposed, which is formed with a strip copper layer on a core layer of the substrate, wherein a solder mask is arranged to cover the core layer and two lengthwise sides of the copper layer by a width between 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm, while a surface between the sides of the copper layer is exposed by forming a groove opening to the atmosphere and plated with gold. This makes bulges generated by shrinkage of the solder mask covering the sides of the copper layer extend outwardly in a direction away from the groove opening, allowing clamping force to be sufficiently exerted on the substrate by a mold during an encapsulation process. As such, after completing the encapsulation process, an encapsulating resin remained in the runner can be easily removed without damaging the substrate, and also resin flash can be prevented from occurrence.

A method is provided of making a semiconductor package with a heat spreader in which a chip carrier module plate consisting of a plurality of array-arranged chip carriers is mounted with at least one chip on each of the chip carriers. A heat spreader module plate is attached to the chips, with an interface layer formed on a top surface of the heat spreader module plate. The chip carrier module plate, the chips and the heat spreader module plate are encapsulated. Adhesion force between the interface layer and the encapsulant is larger than that between the interface layer and the heat spreader module plate, and adhesion force between the interface layer and the heat spreader module plate is smaller than that between the heat spreader module plate and the encapsulant.

A semiconductor package with a heat sink is proposed, in which a chip has its first surface attached to a chip carrier, while a second surface of the chip is attached to a heat sink through an adhesive, allowing heat generated by the chip to be transmitted to the heat sink. Moreover, in a molding process, a molding resin is used to form an encapsulant for encapsulating the chip, while a top surface and side surfaces connected to the top surface of the heat sink are exposed to outside of the encapsulant, that is, the heat sink merely has its bottom surface bonded to the encapsulant. This makes the generated heat directly dissipated to the atmosphere through the heat sink. Furthermore, the top surface of the heat sink is coated with an interface layer, while adhesion between the interface layer and the molding resin is smaller than that between the heat sink and the encapsulant. This allows the molding resin remained on the interface layer to be easily removed after completing the molding process, while delamination can be prevented from occurrence between the heat sink or the chip and the encapsulant, and also the chip can be prevented from cracking due to clamping force generated during molding.

A method is proposed for use to break integrally-connected electrically-conductive traces on a circuited substrate used in TFBGA (Thin & Fine Ball Grid Array) semiconductor packaging technology, so as to make the electrically-conductive traces open-circuited for the implementation of open-circuited testing on the electrically-conductive traces on the substrate. The proposed method is characterized in the forming of a resistively-enlarged point at the terminal of each electrically-conductive trace on the substrate, which can be melted away while leaving each electrically-conductive trace intact simply by applying an electrical current of an adequate magnitude to pass through each electrically-conductive trace. As each electrically-conductive trace is open-circuited, an open-circuited testing procedure can be then performed on the electrically-conductive on the substrate.

摘要:
A method of fabricating a BGA (Ball Grid Array) IC package of the type having an encapsulating body is proposed, which allows the BGA IC package to be manufactured without having to use conventional organic substrate and encapsulating-body mold having cavity, so that the manufacture process can be more cost-effective to carry out than the prior art. The proposed method is characterized in the use of a copper piece which is selectively removed to form an encapsulating-body cavity for the forming of an encapsulating body therein. The proposed method requires no use of mold with cavity for the forming of the encapsulating body, allowing the same mold to be used for the fabrication of various BGA IC packages of different sizes. Moreover, the proposed method allows fan-in design as well as fan-out design, thus allowing the number of I/O ports to be increased while making the overall package configuration compact in size, and also allows the implantation of the electrically-conductive balls to be easier to carry out and more precisely controlled than the prior art, making the ball implantation more assured in quality than the prior art. Therefore, the proposed method is more advantageous and cost-effective to use than the prior art.
