摘要:
A method of making a stacked microelectronic assembly includes providing a first microelectronic package that includes a first substrate having a first dielectric layer, conductive posts, and conductive traces extending along the surface of the first dielectric layer; providing a second microelectronic package including a second substrate that includes a second dielectric layer; securing a microelectronic element to one of the surfaces of at least one of the first or second substrates; and joining the conductive posts of the first substrate with the fusible masses of the second substrate. The posts may include a plurality of aligned posts which are aligned in a first row extending in a single orthogonal direction along a surface of the first substrate away from a portion of the first substrate that faces a face of the microelectronic element. The aligned posts are disposed beyond one of the edges of the microelectronic element.

A dielectric structure is formed by a molding process, so that a first surface of a dielectric structure is shaped by contact with the mold. The opposite second surface of the dielectric structure is applied onto the front surface of a wafer element. The dielectric layer may include protruding bumps and terminals may be formed on the bumps. The bumps may be of a precise height. The terminals lie at a precisely controlled height above the front surface of the wafer element. The terminals may include projecting posts which extend above a surrounding solder mask layer to facilitate engagement with a test fixture. The posts are immersed within solder joints when the structure is bonded to a circuit panel.

A stacked microelectronic assembly includes a dielectric element and a first and second microelectronic element stacked one atop the other with the first microelectronic element disposed between the second microelectronic element and the dielectric. The dielectric element has opposed first and second surfaces with conductive features exposed at the first surface and terminals exposed on the second surface. Preferably, the contact-bearing face of the first microelectronic element confronts the first surface of the dielectric with at least some of the conductive features being movable with respect to the contacts or terminals. By providing such movable features, joining units have heights of about 300 microns or less may be joined to the terminals thereby reducing the overall height of the microelectronic assembly to 1.2 mm and less.

A plurality of microelectronic assemblies are made by severing an in-process unit including an upper substrate and lower substrate with microelectronic elements disposed between the substrates. In a further embodiment, a lead frame is joined to a substrate so that the leads project from this substrate. Lead frame is joined to a further substrate with one or more microelectronic elements disposed between the substrates.

A method is provided for manufacturing a multilayer substrate. An insulating layer can have a hole overlying a patterned second metal layer. In turn, the second metal layer can overlie a first metal layer. A third metal layer can be electroplated onto the patterned second metal layer within the hole, the third metal layer extending from the second metal layer onto a wall of the hole. When plating the third metal layer, the first and second metal layers can function as a conductive commoning element.

The structure includes a plurality of terminals and leads formed integrally with the terminals, at least some of the terminals and at least some of the leads being disposed entirely beneath the microelectronic element, and at least some of the contacts being connected to at least some of the terminals by at least some of the leads. The leads and terminals are at least about 50 microns thick.

A method of making a microelectronic package includes providing a lead frame having at least one bus element and a plurality of branches extending from the bus element, each branch including a terminal and an elongated lead extending between the bus element and the terminal. The method includes applying a carrier element to the lead frame to form a laminate with the branches adhering to a first surface of the carrier element, and severing the branches from the bus element, leaving the branches mechanically connected to one another by the carrier element so as to form an in-process unit. The method also includes assembling a microelectronic element with the in-process unit so that the microelectronic element overlies a second surface of the carrier element.
摘要:
A stacked chip assembly includes individual units having chips mounted on dielectric layers and traces on the dielectric layers interconnecting the contacts of the chips with terminals disposed in peripheral regions of the dielectric layers. At least some of the traces are multi-branched traces which connect chip select contacts to chip select terminals. The units are stacked one above the other with corresponding terminals of the different units being connected to one another by solder balls or other conductive elements so as to form vertical buses. Prior to stacking, the multi-branched traces of the individual units are selectively connected, as by forming solder bridges, so as to leave chip select contacts of chips in different units connected to different chip select terminals and thereby connect these chips to different vertical buses. The individual units desirably are thin and directly abut one another so as to provide a low-height assembly with good heat transfer from chips within the stack.

A method of encapsulating microelectronic assemblies includes providing a substrate, securing at least one packaged chip atop the substrate, electrically interconnecting the at least one packaged chip and the substrate, and providing a dam atop the substrate, the dam surrounding the at least one packaged chip secured to the substrate. The method includes providing a cover layer over the dam and the at least one packaged chip secured atop the substrate, whereby the substrate, the dam and the cover layer define an enclosed space surrounding the at least one packaged chip. A curable liquid encapsulant is introduced into the enclosed space and cured to provide a compliant layer around the at least one packaged chip. The packaged chips may be electrically connected with the substrate using conductive leads or wires. Each packaged chip may include a semiconductor chip and a dielectric sheet electrically connected to the semiconductor chip. A porous layer, such as a plurality of compliant pads, may be disposed between the semiconductor chip and the dielectric sheet.
