Abstract:
Provided are a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly, a semiconductor package and a method of fabricating the semiconductor package. The semiconductor package includes a first package that comprises a first substrate, at least one first semiconductor chip stacked on the first substrate, and first conductive pads exposed on a top surface of the first substrate; a second package disposed below the first package such that the second package comprises a second substrate, at least one second semiconductor chip, and second conductive pads exposed on a bottom surface of the second substrate; and a connection unit that extends from the first conductive pads to the second conductive pads such that the connection unit covers a side surface of the first package and a side surface of the second package in order to electrically connect the first package to the second package.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package comprises a substrate having connection pads disposed thereon, a semiconductor chip attached to the substrate such that an active surface of the semiconductor chip faces the substrate, and external bonding pads electrically connected to the active surface of the semiconductor chip. The external bonding pads may be formed near the ends of the frame and have an upper surface facing away from the substrate. The external bonding pads are electrically connected with the connection pads.
Abstract:
Provided herein are multi-chip modules (MCMs) having bonding wires and fabrication methods thereof. The multi-chip module includes a substrate and a plurality of chips sequentially stacked. At least one top chip, stacked above a lowest chip, has an insulating film that covers the backside thereof. Also, each of the stacked chips has bonding pads formed on the periphery or edges of its upper surface. At least one insulator is interposed between the stacked chips. The insulator exposes the pads on the underlying chip. The pads of the respective chips are connected to a set of interconnections, which are disposed on the substrate. This configuration of stacked chips enables the overall height of the memory module to be reduced because the insulating film prevents the bonding wires from contacting the substrate of the top chips.
Abstract:
A variety of non-rectangular IC chips having a stepped or modified periphery or edge profile including one or more recessed or indented peripheral regions are provided for incorporation in modified package configurations, single chip packages and multi-chip assemblies, both stacked and/or planar. In the planar configurations, the recessed regions may be utilized, in cooperation with another appropriately sized IC chip, to increase the packing density of the resulting device. Similarly, in the stacked configuration, the recessed regions may be utilized to provide access to bond pads of lower chips and thereby reduce the need for spacers or peripheral thinning techniques and thereby improve the strength of the resulting assembly and/or reduce the overall height of the stacked structure.

The method includes providing a carrier with at least a first pad, providing a semiconductor chip having at least the second pad, the at least second pad being smaller than the first a pad, forming a conductive stud bump on the second pad, and forming a bonding wire that has two terminal portions, which are respectively bonded to the first pad and the stud bump to electrically connect the first pad and the second pad. The stud bump is bonded to the second pad by a ball bonding method which uses a wire that has an approximately smaller diameter than the bonding wire. Further, a prominence formed on one end of the terminal portions is provided which has an approximately larger diameter than the stud bump.
