  • Patent number: 6472743
    Abstract: A semiconductor package with a heat dissipating structure is proposed, in which the heat dissipating structure is precisely positioned on a substrate, in a manner that a plurality of solder balls self-align with ball pads formed on the substrate, and support a heat sink to be positioned above a semiconductor chip mounted on the substrate. This therefore makes the heat sink closely abut a molding cavity of an encapsulating mold in a molding process, and prevents resin flash from occurring on the heat sink, so that a surface of the heat sink can be directly exposed to the atmosphere for improving heat dissipating efficiency. Moreover, the solder balls characterized in softness deform in response to a pressure generated by the encapsulating mold during molding. Therefore, the substrate can be protected from being damaged by the pressure, and thus quality of the semiconductor package can be assured.

  • Publication number: 20020105789
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a semiconductor package for multi-chip stacks, which could be utilized in a BGA package or a flip chip package. The substrate of the semiconductor package has a hollow region, a first chip of the multi-chip stack is placed above the hollow region of the substrate, and a second chip of the multi-chip stack is adhered on the active surface of the first chip and placed in the hollow region of the substrate. The first chip is electrically connected to the substrate through a plurality of solder bumps, and the second chip is electrically connected to the substrate through a plurality of bonding wires.
