Abstract:
An apparatus package for high-temperature thermal applications for ball grid array semiconductor devices and a method of packaging ball grid array semiconductor devices.
Abstract:
An interconnect for BGA packages, a BGA package fabricated using the interconnect, and a method for fabricating BGA packages using the interconnect, are provided. The interconnect includes multiple polymer substrates on which patterns of conductors are formed. Each substrate can be used to fabricate a BGA package. The conductors on the substrates include end portions having bonding vias formed therethrough in alignment with access openings in the substrates. During fabrication of the BGA packages, the bonding vias allow the conductors to be bonded to bond pads on semiconductor dice by forming metal bumps on the bonding vias and bond pads. The access openings in the substrates provide access to the bonding vias and bond pads for a bonding tool configured to form the metal bumps. In addition to the bonding vias, the conductors include ball bonding pads configured for attaching ball contacts, such as solder balls, to the conductors and substrates. The completed BGA package includes a substrate adhesively bonded to a semiconductor die; conductors with bonding vias on the substrate; metal bumps in the bonding vias bonding the conductors to bond pads on the die; and an area array of ball contacts attached to the conductors and substrate.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heat management structure within a chip package that allows for heat rejection away from a chip but that avoids the prior art problems of thermal stresses caused by dissimilar thermal conductivities of a heat management structure and of creating a thermally unbalanced package due to disparate distribution of packaging plastic. In an embodiment of the present invention a package includes a chip, leads on the chip, a die attach, a downset, a packaging plastic, and an outer structure among others. The outer structure, downset, and die attach are together a substantially unitary article. Achieving a balanced package that substantially resists warpage and bowing during ordinary manufacture and ordinary use in the life of the package is accomplished by balancing packaging material width and the ability of the downset to resist warpage and bowing stresses. A substantial portion of the outer structure is exposed to the external part of the package in the surface which includes the packaging lower edge. Alternatively, the downset can include a part of the external boundary of the package such that exposure of the downset to the external portion of the package allows for additional heat rejection away from the chip in addition to the use of the outer structure.
