  • Patent number: 8686546
    Abstract: A combined packaged power semiconductor device includes a flipped top source low-side MOSFET electrically connected to a top surface of a die paddle, a first metal interconnection plate connecting between a bottom drain of a high-side MOSFET or a top source of a flipped high-side MOSFET to a bottom drain of the low-side MOSFET, and a second metal interconnection plate stacked on top of the high-side MOSFET chip. The high-side, low-side MOSFET and the IC controller can be packaged three-dimensionally that reduces the overall size of semiconductor devices and can maximize the chip's size within a package of the same size and improves the performance of the semiconductor devices. The top source of flipped low-side MOSFET is connected to the top surface of the die paddle and thus is grounded through the exposed bottom surface of die paddle, which simplifies the shape of exposed bottom surface of the die paddle and maximizes the area to facilitate heat dissipation.

  • Patent number: 8563417
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to a packaging method of an ultra-thin chip, more specifically, the invention relates to a method for packaging the ultra-thin chip with solder ball thermo-compression in wafer level packaging process. The method starts with disposing solder balls on metal pads arranged on the front surface of semiconductor chips that are formed at the front surface of a semiconductor wafer. The solder balls are soften by heating the wafer, a compression plate is applied with a pressure on the top ends of the solder balls thus forming a co-planar top surface at the top ends of the solder balls. A molding compound is deposited on the front surface of the wafer with the top ends of the solder balls exposed.
