  • Publication number: 20040229399
    Abstract: A flip chip package structure and manufacturing method thereof is provided. A chip is electrically connected to a substrate. A heat sink is attached to the backside of the chip. The heat sink has at least a through hole located at a peripheral region and laterally adjacent to the chip. A dispensing process is carried out to deliver an underfill material via the through hole such that the space between the chip and the substrate is filled. The underfill material also extends to cover a portion of the heat sink so that the heat sink and the substrate are connected together. The underfill material is cured to fix the heat sink, the substrate and the chip in position.

  • Publication number: 20040217485
    Abstract: A stacked flip-chip package comprises a substrate having an opening, a back-to-face chip module, and an encapsulant. The back-to-face chip module is attached to the substrate and encapsulated by the encapsulant. The back-to-face chip module includes a first chip and a second chip. The first chip has a first active surface and a first back surface. Redistributed traces are formed on the first back surface. The second chip is flip-chip mounted on the first back surface of the first chip and electrically connected to the redistributed traces. A plurality of bumps connect the redistributed traces to the top surface of the substrate. Thus the second chip can be accommodated inside the opening and the redistributed traces are electrically connected to the second chip and the substrate so as to achieve fine pitch flip-chip mounting and improve the electrical performance and heat dissipation efficiency for the back-to-face chip module.

  • Publication number: 20040212088
    Abstract: A multi-chip package substrate for both flip-chip bumping and wire-bonding applications comprises a substrate body having a top surface and a bottom surface. A plurality of bumping pads and a plurality of wire-bonding pads are formed on the top surface. The bumping pads are disposed on the top surface of the substrate body and a pre-solder material is formed on the bumped pads. The wire-bonding pads are disposed on the top surface of the substrate body and a Ni/Au layer is formed on the wire-bonding pads. In order to avoid the bumping pads and the wire-bonding pads from oxidation during packaging processes. The pre-solder material fully covers the bumping pads to avoid the Au intermetallics generated in a plurality of bumps on a bumped chip during packaging processes. The reliability of the multi-chip stacked package for both flip-chip bumping and wire-bonding applications will be greatly improved.

  • Patent number: 6673656
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor chip package which mainly utilizes a substrate having a organic surface protection thereon to package a central-pad chip. In the encapsulating process, since the molding flash is completely formed on the surface of the organic surface protection, the molding flash can be easily removed together with the organic surface protection without damaging the substrate surface. This invention further provides a method for manufacturing the substrate.
