Abstract:
Embodiments may include an IC having an active substrate containing devices, and a bulk substrate, separated by an oxide layer or an etching stop layer. The IC may be partially thinned from a backside of the bulk substrate to create a cavity, while maintaining the dicing streets and/or the edges of the bulk substrate without being thinned. The cavity may be surrounded by a first edge and a second edge of the bulk substrate. An additional IC may be placed within the cavity of the bulk substrate to form a stacking IC with a reduced height. The ICs of the stacking IC may be electronically coupled using TSVs embedded within the active substrate of the ICs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing reduced height semiconductor packages for mobile electronics. For instance, there is disclosed in accordance with one embodiment a stacked die package having therein a bottom functional silicon die; a recess formed within the bottom functional silicon die by a thinning etch partially reducing a vertical height of the bottom functional silicon die at the recess; and a top component positioned at least partially within the recess formed within the bottom functional silicon die. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include an eWLB or ePLB based PoP device and methods of forming such devices. According to an embodiment, such a device may include a die embedded within a mold layer. A substrate may be directly contacting a surface of the mold layer. Additionally, embodiments of the invention may include a through mold via formed through the mold layer that is electrically coupled to a contact formed on a surface of the substrate that is contacting the mold layer. In order to form such a device, embodiments may include dispensing a molding material over a die positioned on a mold carrier. Thereafter, a substrate may be pressed into the molding material. After curing the molding material, a mold layer may be formed that encases the die and is adhered to the substrate.
Abstract:
Embodiments are generally directed to package stacking using chip to wafer bonding. An embodiment of a device includes a first stacked layer including one or more semiconductor dies, components or both, the first stacked layer further including a first dielectric layer, the first stacked layer being thinned to a first thickness; and a second stacked layer of one or more semiconductor dies, components, or both, the second stacked layer further including a second dielectric layer, the second stacked layer being fabricated on the first stacked layer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes embodiments of a stacked semiconductor device package and associated techniques and configurations. A package may include a packaging substrate having interconnects and a first semiconductor device attached to one side and a second semiconductor device attached to the opposite side. The devices may be attached in a flip chip configuration with pad sides facing each other on opposite sides of the substrate. The devices may be electrically coupled by the interconnects. The devices may be electrically coupled to fan out pads on the substrate. A dielectric layer may be coupled to the second side of the substrate and encapsulate the second device. Vias may route electrical signals from the fan out area through the dielectric layer and into a redistribution layer coupled to the dielectric layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
