Abstract: A semiconductor package including a dam and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor package comprises a package substrate, a semiconductor chip attached to the substrate, a TIM formed on the semiconductor chip, a dam that substantially surrounds the TIM, and a lid placed over the TIM to contact a surface thereof. Thus, a TIM can be prevented from flowing down from the original position at high temperatures. Therefore, the performance of the semiconductor package does not deteriorate even at high temperatures.

Abstract: A stacked semiconductor module includes a lower chip scale package (CSP) mounted on a module board, and an inverted upper CSP attached to the top of lower CSP to form a stacked semiconductor package. The lower and upper CSPs are electrically connected to each other outside of the stacked semiconductor package. This electrical connection may be made using the module board. Further, a conductive interconnection tape may be used to electrically connect the upper CSP to regions on the module board, which are electrically connected to the region at which the lower CSP is electrically connected to the module board.

Abstract: A multi-chip package (MCP) in which heat generated in first and second chips of the MCP is spread effectively and a method for manufacturing the same. The MCP includes first and second chips. The MCP further comprises a tape including a conductive material layer therein situated between the first chip and the second chip. Thus, the heat generated in the second chip can effectively spread to the outside through the tape.

Abstract: A semiconductor package and a method for forming the same are provided. The semiconductor package comprises a chip having an active surface and a back surface. The semiconductor package further comprises a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. The chip is electrically connected to the upper surface of the substrate. A lid is thermally coupled to the back surface of the chip. A thermal interface material (TIM) is located between the chip and the lid. The TIM includes voids to reduce thermomechanical stresses applied on the chip and the TIM, thereby preventing package cracks.
