Patents by Inventor David Fraser Rae

David Fraser Rae has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20160343635
    Abstract: An integrated package may be manufactured in a die face up orientation with a component proximate to the attached die by creating a cavity in the mold compound during fabrication. The cavity is created with an adhesive layer on the bottom to hold a component such that the top surface of the component is co-planar with the top surface of the attached die. This may allow backside grinding to take place that will not damage the component because the top surface alignment between the attached die and the component prevents the depth of the cavity from extending into the portion of the package that is ground away.

  • Publication number: 20160343651
    Abstract: A package may include a die proximate to a structure having a substrate with interconnects and a first component coupled to the interconnects. The die may be face up or face down. The package may include a first redistribution layer coupling the die to the interconnects of the structure and a mold compound covering the die and maybe the structure.

  • Patent number: 9484327
    Abstract: To achieve a package-on-package having an advantageously reduced height, a first package substrate has a window sized to receive a second package die. The first package substrate interconnects to the second package substrate through a plurality of package-to-package interconnects such that the first and second substrates are separated by a gap. The second package die has a thickness greater than the gap such that the second package die is at least partially disposed within the first package substrate's window.

  • Publication number: 20160315072
    Abstract: Some features pertain to a package on package (PoP) device that includes a first package, a first solder interconnect coupled to the first integrated circuit package, and a second package coupled to the first package through the first solder interconnect. The second package includes a first die, a package interconnect comprising a first pad, where the first solder interconnect is coupled to the first pad of the package interconnect. The second package also includes a redistribution portion coupled to the first die and the package interconnect, an encapsulation layer at least partially encapsulating the first die and the package interconnect. The first pad may include a surface that has low roughness. The encapsulation layer may encapsulate the package interconnect such that the encapsulation layer encapsulates at least a portion of the first solder interconnect.

  • Publication number: 20160218064
    Abstract: A semiconductor package may include a lower substrate with one or more electronic components attached to a surface thereof and an upper substrate with one or more cavities wherein the upper substrate is attached to the lower substrate at a plurality of connection points with the one or more electronic components fitting within a single cavity or a separate cavity for each component that allow the overall form factor of the semiconductor package to remain smaller. The plurality of connection points provide a mechanical and electrical connection between the upper and lower substrate and may include solder joints there between as well as conductive filler particles that create an adhesive reinforcement matrix when compressed for assembly.

  • Patent number: 9355898
    Abstract: Some features pertain to an integrated device that includes a first substrate, a first solder resist layer coupled to the first substrate, a second solder resist layer coupled to the first solder resist layer, and an opening in the first and second solder resist layers, the opening comprising a sidewall completely covered with the second solder resist layer, where a sidewall of the second solder resist layer covers a sidewall of the first solder resist layer. In some implementations, the opening is at least partially filled with an electrically conductive material. The electrically conductive material includes one of solder and/or an interconnect. The integrated device includes a first interconnect coupled to the electrically conductive material. The first interconnect is one of at least a solder, and/or an interconnect ball. In some implementations, the integrated device includes a pad coupled to the substrate, and a first interconnect coupled to the pad.

  • Publication number: 20160148864
    Abstract: Some features pertain to an integrated circuit device that includes a first package substrate, a first die coupled to the first package substrate, a second package substrate, and a solder joint structure coupled to the first package substrate and the second package substrate. The solder joint structure includes a solder comprising a first melting point temperature, and a conductive material comprising a second melting point temperature that is less than the first melting point temperature. In some implementations, the conductive material is one of at least a homogeneous material and/or a heterogeneous material. In some implementations, the conductive material includes a first electrically conductive material and a second material. The conductive material is an electrically conductive material.
