Abstract: A semiconductor device has a first interconnect structure formed over a first side of a substrate. A semiconductor die is mounted to the first interconnect structure. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and first interconnect structure for structural support. A portion of a second side of the substrate, opposite the first side of the substrate, is removed to reduce its thickness. The encapsulant maintains substrate robustness during thinning process. A TSV is formed through the second side of the substrate to the first interconnect structure. A second interconnect structure is formed in the TSV. The TSV has a first insulating layer formed over the second side of the substrate and first conductive layer formed over the first insulating layer and into the TSV. The second interconnect structure has a second conductive layer formed over the first conductive layer in an area away from the TSV.

Abstract: A flip chip interconnect is made by mating the interconnect bump directly onto a lead, rather than onto a capture pad. Also, a flip chip package includes a die having solder bumps attached to interconnect pads in an active surface, and a substrate having electrically conductive traces in a die attach surface, in which the bumps are mated directly onto the traces. In some embodiments the interconnection is formed without employing a solder mask. In some methods a curable adhesive is dispensed either onto the bumps on the die or onto the traces on the substrate; the adhesive is partly cured during the mating process, and the partly cured adhesive serves to confine the molten solder during a reflow process.
