  • Patent number: 10811277
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package includes mounting and electrically connecting a semiconductor die to a substrate. The semiconductor die and the substrate are encapsulated to form an encapsulation. Via holes are laser-ablated through the encapsulation and conductive material is deposited within the via holes to form vias. A first buildup dielectric layer is formed on the encapsulation. Laser-ablated artifacts are laser-ablated in the first buildup layer. The laser-ablated artifacts in the first buildup layer are filled with a first metal layer to form a first electrically conductive pattern in the first build up layer. The operations of forming a buildup layer, forming laser-ablated artifacts in the buildup layer, and filling the laser-ablated artifacts with an electrically conductive material to form an electrically conductive pattern can be performed any one of a number of times to achieve the desired redistribution.

  • Patent number: 10714408
    Abstract: A package includes a substrate having an electronic component flip chip mounted thereto by flip chip bumps. The electronic component includes an active surface and an inactive surface. Electrically conductive columns (TSV) extend through the electronic component between the active surface and the inactive surface. A RDL structure is coupled to the inactive surface, the RDL structure redistributing the pattern of the electrically conductive columns at the inactive surface to a pattern of inactive surface RDL lands. The inactive surface RDL lands are exposed through via apertures of a package body. By using the inactive surface of the electronic component to distribute the inactive surface RDL lands, the allowable size of the electronic component is maximized.
