Disclosed are examples of integrated circuit (IC) packages. Each IC package may include a flip-chip (FC) die on a substrate, a wire bond die above the FC die, a wire bond connected to the wire bond die, and a mold on the substrate and encapsulating the FC die, the wire bond die, and the wire bond. The substrate may include least a first metallization layer includes a first substrate layer, a trace on the first substrate layer and routed within the first metallization layer to electrically couple with one or more FC interconnects of the FC die, and a bond finger pad formed on the trace. The bond finger pad may be circular. The wire bond may electrically connect to the trace such that the wire bond die is electrically coupled with the FC die through the wire bond, the bond finger pad, and the trace.
Abstract:
Integrated circuit (IC) packages employing wire bond channel over package substrate, and related fabrication methods. The IC package includes a first semiconductor die (“first die”) and a first electronic device each coupled to a package substrate. To provide signal routing paths between the first die and the first electronic device, the IC package includes a wire bond channel that includes wire bonds coupled between first and second metal pads coupled to the respective first die and first electronic device to provide signal routing paths between the first die and first electronic device. The wire bonds extend outside of the package substrate in a vertical direction. The wire bond channel may be able to support more direct signal routing paths between the first die and the first electronic device without having to route such signal routing paths around a KoZ in the package substrate.
