    Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or devices that facilitate stacking dies in a multi-die stack using film over wire and attaching a die to a substrate are presented. Film over wire (FOW) techniques can be employed to facilitate stacking dies that are the same or similar in size such that the wires bonded onto the lower die can be embedded in film used to attach the two dies. FOW techniques can also be employed to embed a smaller die and wires attached thereto in film underneath a larger die stacked on top of the lower die such that the larger die can be supported by the film in areas where the larger die would otherwise overhang. Die attach film can be utilized to facilitate attaching a die to a substrate such that all areas between the die and substrate are filled thereby reducing or eliminating delamination.

  • Publication number: 20080237856
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a wiring substrate, a semiconductor chip, and a conductor plate in order to reduce a voltage drop at the central portion of a chip caused by wiring resistance from a peripheral connection pad disposed on the periphery of the chip in the semiconductor package. Central electrode pads for use in ground/power-supply are disposed on the central portion of the chip. The conductor plate for use in ground/power-supply is disposed on the chip such that an insulating layer is disposed therebetween. The central electrode pads on the chip and the conductor plate are connected together by wire bonding through an opening formed in the insulating layer and the conductor plate. An extraction portion of the conductor plate is connected to a power-supply wiring pad on the wiring substrate. The central electrode pads and the conductor plate may also be connected together using gold stud bumps.

  • Patent number: 7420286
    Abstract: Techniques are described for reducing inductance in ball grid array (BGA) packages for integrated circuits (ICs). The BGA package comprises a set of contacts disposed near an outer edge of the BGA package that receives signal lines and isolated power and ground lines. One area of excess parasitic inductance within the BGA package is in the wire bonds that couple the set of contacts to the IC. The techniques described herein shorten the wire bonds in order to reduce the amount of parasitic inductance. The techniques include extending traces from a subset of the contacts inward into the BGA package toward the IC mounted. The wire bonds then couple the traces to the IC, thereby electrically coupling the subset of contacts to the IC. The presence of the traces substantially reduces lengths of the wire bonds relative to wire bonds that directly couple the set of contacts to the IC.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method of manufacture for a stacked-die assembly. A first die is placed on a substrate such that the backside of the die, i.e., the side opposite the side with the bond pads, is coupled to the substrate, preferably by an adhesive. Wire leads electrically couple the bond pads of the first die to contacts on the substrate. A second die is placed on the first die, and wire leads electrically couple the bond pads of the second die to contacts on the substrate. Preferably, a spacer is placed between the first die and the second die. Additional dies may be stacked on the second die.
