Abstract: A multi-chip integrated circuit (IC) package is provided which is configured to protect against failure due to warpage. The IC package may comprise a substrate (514), a level-one IC die (502) and a plurality of level-two IC dies (512a, 512b). The level-one IC die having a surface that is electrically coupled (520) to the substrate. The plurality of level-two IC dies is stacked above the level-one IC die. The plurality of level-two IC dies may each have an active surface that is electrically coupled (516,518) to the substrate. The plurality of level-two IC dies may be arranged side by side such that the active surfaces of the plurality of level-two IC dies are positioned substantially in a same plane. Relative to a single die configuration, the level-two IC dies are separated thereby inhibiting cracking, peeling and/or other potential failures due to warpage of the IC package.

Abstract: An integrated device (100, 300, 800) comprises: a die portion (102) comprising a plurality of pads (107) and a plurality of under bump metallization interconnects (109) coupled to the plurality of pads (107); and a plurality of pillar interconnects (104, 304) coupled to the plurality of under bump metallization interconnects (109), wherein the plurality of pillar interconnects (104, 304) includes a first pillar interconnect (104a, 304a) comprising: a first pillar interconnect portion (204, 404) comprising a first width and a second pillar interconnect portion (206, 406) comprising a second width that is different than the first width. The first width may be greater than the second width, wherein the first pillar interconnect (304a) may be configured to provide an electrical path for input / output (I/O) signals to and/or from the integrated device (300). The first width may be less than the second width (e.g., the first pillar interconnect (104a) comprising a cross-sectional side profile having a T shape), in which case the first pillar interconnect (104a) may be configured to provide an electrical path for power to the integrated device (100). The first width may also be greater than the second width and the plurality of pillar interconnects include a second pillar interconnect (104b) comprising: a third pillar interconnect portion comprising a third width and a fourth pillar interconnect portion comprising a fourth width that is greater than the third width, wherein the first pillar interconnect (304a) may be configured to provide an electrical path for power to the integrated device (800) and wherein the second pillar interconnect (104b) may be configured to provide an electrical path for input / output (I/O) signals to and/or from the integrated device (800). The integrated device (100, 300, 800) may be coupled to a substrate (502) through the plurality of pillar interconnects (104, 304) and a plurality of solder interconnects (106), forming a package (500). In a method for fabricating the integrated device (100, 300, 800), forming the plurality of pillar interconnects (104, 304) comprises: forming and patterning a first photo resist layer (900) over the die portion (102); forming the first pillar interconnect portion (902); removing the first photo resist layer (900); forming a second photo resist layer (906) over the die portion (102); forming and patterning a third photo resist layer (910) over the second photo resist layer (906); and forming a second pillar interconnect portion (912) over the first pillar interconnect portion (902) through an opening (911) in the third photo resist layer (910). The second photo resist layer (906) may include a positive photo resist layer and the third photo resist layer (910) may include a negative photo resist layer. The second photo resist layer (906) may also include a negative photo resist layer and the third photo resist layer (910) may include a positive photo resist layer. The different and/or varying widths of the pillar interconnect portions may allow more surface area for the solder interconnects (106) to couple to, thus providing a more robust and reliable joint between the integrated device (100, 300, 800) and the substrate (502). The increased surface area may also allow more solder to be located between the first pillar interconnect (104, 304) and the substrate (502), without causing a short between neighboring interconnects. The more robust and reliable joint helps provide a more reliable electrical path for currents and/or signals traveling between the integrated device (100, 300, 800) and the substrate (502), which can lead to improved performances for the integrated device (100, 300, 800) and the package (500).

Abstract: An IC package (900A-E) includes a substrate (920) and an integrated circuit (IC) structure comprising a die (410, 510, 610, 710, 810) (e.g., a flip-chip (FC) die) and one or more die interconnects (430) to electrically couple the die (410, 510, 610, 710, 810) to the substrate (920). The die interconnect (430) includes a pillar (440, 540, 640, 740, 840), a wetting barrier (460, 560, 660, 760, 860) on the pillar (440, 540, 640, 740, 840), and a solder cap (450, 550, 650, 750, 850) on the wetting barrier (460, 560, 660, 760, 860). The wetting barrier (460, 560, 660, 760, 860) is wider than the pillar (440, 540, 640, 740, 840), such that, during solder reflow, solder wetting of sidewall of the pillar (440, 540, 640, 740, 840) is minimised or prevented altogether. The width of the wetting barrier (460, 560, 660, 760, 860) may be greater than a width of the solder cap (450, 550, 650, 750, 850). The die interconnect (430) may also include a low wetting layer (470, 570, 770, 870) formed on at least a portion of a surface of the wetting barrier (460, 560, 760, 860) not covered by the pillar (440, 540, 740, 840), which can further mitigate solder wetting problems. The low wetting layer (470, 570, 770, 870) may have a lower solderability than the pillar (440, 540, 740, 840), for example, it may be made from metals such as Ni, Al, Cr, etc. The pillar (440, 540, 740) and the wetting barrier (460, 560, 760) may be formed from a same conductive material (e.g., Cu). Alternatively, the pillar (440) and the wetting barrier (460) may be formed from different conductive materials, with the material of the wetting barrier (460) (e.g., Ni) selected so as to also provide a chemical barrier to solder wetting on sidewalls of the pillar (440) (e.g., Cu). The IC structure may further comprise a contact layer (e.g., Ni) (780) in between the wetting barrier (760) and the solder cap (750). Alternatively, the low wetting layer (570, 870) may also be formed in between the wetting barrier (560, 860) and the solder cap (550, 850), wherein the pillar (840) may further be a first pillar, the IC structure further comprising a second pillar (890) (e.g., Cu) on the low wetting layer (870) and a contact layer (e.g., Ni) (880) between the second pillar (890) and the solder cap (850).

Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) packages employing a thermal conductive semiconductor package substrate with die region split and related fabrication methods are disclosed. The package substrate includes a die split where metal contacts in one or more dielectric layers of the package substrate underneath the IC die(s) are thicker (e.g., in a core die region) than other metal contacts (e.g., in a peripheral die region) in the dielectric layer. This facilitates higher thermal dissipation from the IC die(s) through the thicker metal contacts in the package substrate. Cross-talk shielding of the package substrate may not be sacrificed since thinner metal contacts of the package substrate that carry high speed signaling can be of lesser thickness than the thicker metal contacts that provide higher thermal dissipation. The dielectric layer in the package substrate may also include dielectric materials having different thermal conductivities to further facilitate thermal dissipation and/or desired electrical or mechanical characteristics.
