Abstract:
A semiconductor device is made by forming a conductive layer over a temporary carrier. The conductive layer includes a wettable pad. A stud bump is formed over the wettable pad. The stud bump can be a stud bump or stacked bumps. A semiconductor die is mounted to the carrier. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and around the stud bump. A first interconnect structure is formed over a first surface of the encapsulant. The first interconnect structure includes a first IPD and is electrically connected to the stud bump. The carrier is removed. A second interconnect structure is formed over a second surface of encapsulant opposite the first interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure includes a second IPD. The first or second IPD includes a capacitor, resistor, or inductor. The semiconductor devices are stackable and electrically connected through the stud bump.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die having contact pads. An encapsulant is disposed around the semiconductor die, and conductive vias are disposed in the encapsulant. Electrically conductive traces are disposed between the contact pads and conductive vias, a thermally conductive channel is disposed in the encapsulant separate from the conductive vias, and a thermally conductive layer is disposed over an area of heat generation of the semiconductor die. A thermally conductive trace is disposed between the thermally conductive layer and thermally conductive channel. The thermally conductive layer, thermally conductive trace, and thermally conductive channel are electrically isolated from the contact pads of the semiconductor die and the electrically conductive traces. The semiconductor package further comprises broad thermal traces disposed over the encapsulant, and a thermally conductive material interconnecting the broad thermal traces and the thermally conductive layer.

An insulating layer follows a contour of the stepped interposer. A conductive layer is formed over the insulating layer following the contour of the stepped interposer. A first semiconductor die is partially disposed in a first recess and electrically connected to the conductive layer. A second semiconductor die is partially disposed in a second recess and electrically connected to the conductive layer. The first semiconductor die is electrically connected to the second semiconductor die through the conductive layer. The first and second semiconductor die can be flipchip type semiconductor die. An encapsulant is deposited over the first and second semiconductor die. A portion of the stepped interposer can be removed to reduce thickness.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a base substrate with first and second etch-resistant conductive layers formed over opposing surfaces of the base substrate. First cavities are etched in the base substrate through an opening in the first conductive layer. The first cavities have a width greater than a width of the opening in the first conductive layer. Second cavities are etched in the base substrate between portions of the first or second conductive layer. A semiconductor die is mounted over the base substrate with bumps disposed over the first conductive layer. The bumps are reflowed to electrically connect to the first conductive layer and cause bump material to flow into the first cavities. An encapsulant is deposited over the die and base substrate. A portion of the base substrate is removed down to the second cavities to form electrically isolated base leads between the first and second conductive layers.
