Microelectronic packages and methods for fabricating microelectronic packages having texturized solder pads, which can improve solder joint reliability, are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a texturized dielectric region having a texture pattern, such as a hatch pattern, in an under-pad dielectric layer. A texturized solder pad is produced over the texturized dielectric region. The texturized solder pad has a solder contact surface to which the texture pattern is transferred such that the area of the solder contact surface is increased relative to a non-texturized solder pad of equivalent dimensions.

Microelectronic packages and methods for fabricating microelectronic packages having optical mask layers are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes building redistribution layers over the frontside of a semiconductor die. The redistribution layers includes a body of dielectric material in which a plurality of interconnect lines are formed. An optical mask layer is formed over the frontside of the semiconductor die and at least a portion of the redistribution layers. The optical mask layer has an opacity greater than the opacity of the body of dielectric material and blocks or obscures visual observation of an interior portion of the microelectronic package through the redistribution layers.

Wafer level packages and methods for producing wafer level packages having delamination-resistant redistribution layers are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes building inner redistribution layers over a semiconductor die. Inner redistribution layers include a body of dielectric material containing metal routing features. A routing-free dielectric block is formed in the body of dielectric material and is uninterrupted by the metal routing features. An outer redistribution layer is produced over the inner redistribution layers and contains a metal plane, which is patterned to include one or more outgassing openings overlying the routing-free dielectric block. The routing-free dielectric block has a minimum width, length, and depth each at least twice the thickness of the outer redistribution layer.

Microelectronic packages having layered interconnect structures are provided, as are methods for the fabrication thereof. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a first plurality of interconnect lines in ohmic contact with a first bond pad row provided on a semiconductor. A dielectric layer is deposited over the first plurality of interconnect lines, the first bond pad row, and a second bond pad row adjacent the first bond pad row. A trench via is then formed in the dielectric layer to expose at least the second bond pad row therethrough. A second plurality of interconnect lines is formed in ohmic contact with the second bond pad row within the trench via. The second plurality of interconnect lines extends over the first bond pad row and is electrically isolated therefrom by the dielectric layer to produce at least a portion of the layered interconnect structure.

Wafer level packages and methods for producing wafer level packages having non-wettable solder collars are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes forming solder mask openings in a solder mask layer exposing regions of a patterned metal level underlying the solder mask layer. Before or after forming solder mask openings in the solder mask layer, non-wettable solder collars are produced extending partially over the exposed regions of the patterned metal level. Solder balls are deposited onto the non-wettable solder collars and into the solder mask openings such that circumferential clearances are provided around base portions of the solder balls and sidewalls of the solder mask layer defining the solder mask openings.

A method for fabricating a stacked microelectronic device includes attaching a first package layer to a second package layer to form stacked microelectronic layers. Saw streets of the first package layer overlie and are aligned with saw streets of the second package layer. The first and second package layers include respective edge connectors formed between the saw streets and electronic components in the first and second package layers. A through package via is formed in one of the saw streets of the first and second package layers. The via is filled with conductive material. The stacked package layers are singulated along the saw streets in a manner that retains a portion of the conductive material to form a sidewall connector between at least two of the edge connectors.

Fan-Out Wafer Level Packages (FO-WLPs) and methods for fabricating FO-WLPs containing Embedded Ground Planes (EGPs) and backside EGP interconnect structures are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes electrically coupling an EGP to a backside terminal of a first microelectronic device through a backside EGP interconnect structure. A molded package body is formed around the first microelectronic device, the EGP, and the EGP interconnect structure. The molded package body has a frontside at which the EGP is exposed. One or more Redistribution Layers are formed over the frontside of the molded packaged body and contain at least one interconnect line electrically coupled to the backside contact through the EGP and the backside EGP interconnect structure.

System-in-Packages (SiPs) and methods for producing SiPs are provided. In one embodiment, the above-described SiP fabrication method includes the step or process of forming a through-hole in a core package, the core package containing an electrically-conducive routing feature exposed at a sidewall surface of the through-hole. A leaded component is positioned adjacent the core package such that an elongated lead of the leaded component extends into the through-hole. An electrically-conductive material, such as solder, is then applied into the through hole to electrically couple the elongated lead of the leaded component to the electrically-conductive routing feature of the core package.
