Chip scale semiconductor packages and methods for making and using the same are described. The chip scale semiconductor packages (CSPs) contain a die with an integrated circuit device, a patterned plating layer, and a second interconnect structure formed from a Cu etched substrate that has a portion of an upper surface connected to the patterned plating layer, a side surface, and a bottom surface. The die can be attached to the patterned plating layer by a first interconnect structure that uses wirebonding or that uses a flip chip attachment process. The CSP contains a double molded structure where a first molding layer encapsulates the die, the patterned plating layer, the first interconnect structure, and the upper surface of the second interconnect structure. The second molding layer encapsulates the side surface of the second interconnect structure without encapsulating the bottom surface of the second interconnect structure. With such a configuration, the second molding layer helps control warpage during the manufacturing process and no printed circuit board (PCB) substrate is needed when the package is used in an electronic device since the signal routing is performed by the second interconnect structure. Other embodiments are described.

Conductive Sidewall for Microbumps

Номер: US20120012998A1
Принадлежит: Qualcomm Inc

Electromigration in microbump connections causes voids in the microbumps, which reduces the lifetime of an integrated circuit containing the microbump. Electromigration lifetime may be increased in microbumps by forming a copper shell around the solder. The copper shell of one microbump contacts the copper shell of a second microbump to enclose the solder of the microbump connection. The copper shell allows higher current densities through the microbump. Thus, smaller microbumps may be manufactured on a smaller pitch without suffering failure from electromigration. Additionally, the copper shell reduces shorting or bridging between microbump connections on a substrate.

Bi-directional, reverse blocking battery switch

Номер: US20120056261A1
Принадлежит: GEM Services Inc USA

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an improved package for a bi-directional and reverse blocking battery switch. According to one embodiment, two switches are oriented side-by-side, rather than end-to-end, in a die package. This configuration reduces the total switch resistance for a given die area, often reducing the resistance enough to avoid the use of backmetal in order to meet resistance specifications. Elimination of backmetal reduces the overall cost of the die package and removes the potential failure modes associated with the manufacture of backmetal. Embodiments of the present invention may also allow for more pin connections and an increased pin pitch. This results in redundant connections for higher current connections, thereby reducing electrical and thermal resistance and minimizing the costs of manufacture or implementation of the die package.
