Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device package includes bonding a first connector to a first conductive structure on a first package. The method includes bonding a die to a surface of the first package, wherein a top surface of the first connector extends above a top surface of the die. The method includes surrounding the first connector with a molding compound. The method includes removing a portion of the first connector and a portion of the molding compound. The top surface of the remaining first conductor is below the top surface of the die. A first top surface of the remaining molding compound is below the top surface of the die. A second top surface of the remaining molding compound is level with the top surface of the die. The method includes bonding a second connector to the remaining portion of the first connector.
Abstract:
The described embodiments of mechanisms of forming a die package and package on package (PoP) structure involve forming a solder paste layer over metal balls of external connectors of a die package. The solder paste layer protects the metal balls from oxidation. In addition, the solder paste layer enables solder to solder bonding with another die package. Further, the solder paste layer moves an intermetallic compound (IMC) layer formed between the solder paste layer and the metal balls below a surface of a molding compound of the die package. Having the IMC layer below the surface strengthens the bonding structure between the two die packages.
