Double molded chip scale package

Номер: US20120001322A1
Автор: Luke England, Yong Liu
Принадлежит: Fairchild Semiconductor Corp

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.

Heat conduction for chip stacks and 3-d circuits

Номер: US20120248627A1
Принадлежит: INTERSIL AMERICAS LLC

A semiconductor device assembly and method can include a single semiconductor layer or stacked semiconductor layers, for example semiconductor wafers or wafer sections (semiconductor dice). On each semiconductor layer, a diamond layer formed therethrough can aid in the routing and dissipation of heat. The diamond layer can include a first portion on the back of the semiconductor layer, and one or more second portions which extend vertically into the semiconductor layer, for example completely through the semiconductor layer. Thermal contact can then be made to the diamond layer to conduct heat away from the one or more semiconductor layers. A conductive via can be formed through the diamond layers to provide signal routing and heat dissipation capabilities.

Energy Efficient Power Distribution for 3D INTEGRATED CIRCUIT Stack

Номер: US20120250443A1
Принадлежит: Individual

Multiple dies can be stacked in what are commonly referred to as three-dimensional modules (or “stacks”) with interconnections between the dies, resulting in an IC module with increased circuit component capacity. Such structures can result in lower parasitics for charge transport to different components throughout the various different layers. In some embodiments, the present invention provides efficient power distribution approaches for supplying power to components in the different layers. For example, voltage levels for global supply rails may be increased to reduce required current densities for a given power objective.
