  • Patent number: 7589408
    Abstract: A stackable semiconductor package includes first and second substrates, a semiconductor device, first wires, a supporting element, and a first molding compound. The semiconductor device is disposed on the first substrate. The second substrate is disposed above the semiconductor device, and the area of the second substrate is larger than that of the semiconductor device. The first wires electrically connect the first and second substrates. The supporting element is disposed between the first and second substrates, and supports the second substrate. Some pads of the second substrate are exposed outside the first molding compound. Therefore, the overhang portion of the second substrate will not shake or sway during wire bonding, and the area of the second substrate can be increased to have more devices thereon. Also, the thickness of the second substrate can be reduced, to reduce the overall thickness of the stackable semiconductor package.

  • Patent number: 7439619
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic packaging process. The surface of the chip carrier includes at least a chip attachment region and a film attachment region adjacent to the chip attachment region. At least a baffle is formed on the surface of the chip carrier, between the chip attachment region and the film attachment region. After attaching the thin film to the film attachment region of the chip carrier through an affixture layer, the chip is electrically and physically connected to the chip attachment region of the chip carrier through an adhesive layer. The baffle can effectively prevent the gas that is released from the adhesive layer from damaging the bonding between the thin film and the affixture layer. Therefore, almost no bubbles are formed and good electrical connection between the thin film and the affixture layer is maintained.
