Abstract:
An exemplary semiconductor die package of the invention has a metal-oxide substrate disposed between a first surface of a semiconductor die and a heat-sinking component, with a conductive die clip or one or more electrical interconnect traces disposed between the metal-oxide substrate and the first surface of the semiconductor die. The heat-sinking component may comprise a heat sink, or an adaptor plate to which a heat sink may be coupled. The conductive die clip or electrical trace(s) provides electrical connection(s) to the first surface of the semiconductor die, while the metal-oxide substrate electrically insulates the die from the heat-sinking component, and provides a path of high thermal conductivity between the die and the heat-sinking component. The second surface of the semiconductor die may be left free to connect to a circuit board, or a leadframe or interconnect substrate may be attached to it.

Abstract:
Disclosed are semiconductor die structures that enable a die having a vertical power device to be packaged in a wafer-level chip scale package where the current-conducting terminals are present at one surface of the die, and where the device has very low on-state resistance. In an exemplary embodiment, a trench and an aperture are formed in a backside of a die, with the aperture contacting a conductive region at the top surface of the die. A conductive layer and/or a conductive body may be disposed on the trench and aperture to electrically couple the backside current-conducting electrode of the device to the conductive region. Also disclosed are packages and systems using a die with a die structure according to the invention, and methods of making dice with a die structure according to the invention.
