  • Patent number: 10034372
    Abstract: A stackable via package includes a substrate having an upper surface and a trace on the upper surface, the trace including a terminal. A solder ball is on the terminal. The solder ball has a solder ball diameter A and a solder ball height D. A via aperture is formed in a package body enclosing the solder ball to expose the solder ball. The via aperture includes a via bottom having a via bottom diameter B and a via bottom height C from the upper surface of the substrate, where A<B and 0=<C<½×D. The shape of the via aperture prevents solder deformation of the solder column formed from the solder ball as well as prevents solder bridging between adjacent solder columns.

The recessed self-alignment features may be formed utilizing a chemical etch process or a stamping process. A surface of the recessed self-alignment features or the bond fingers of the metal leadframe may be roughened. A solder paste may be formed in the recessed self-alignment features prior to placing the semiconductor die on the bond fingers of the metal leadframe.

  • Patent number: 10014240
    Abstract: An array includes a substrate having a frontside surface and a backside surface. A backside cavity is formed in the backside surface. Backside through vias extend through the substrate from the frontside surface to the backside surface. Embedded component through vias extend through the substrate from the frontside surface to the backside cavity. An embedded component is mounted within the backside cavity and coupled to the embedded component through vias. In this manner, the embedded component is embedded within the substrate. By embedding the embedded component within the substrate, the overall thickness of the array is minimized. Further, by electrically connecting the embedded component to the embedded component through vias, which are relatively short, the impedance between active surface ends of the embedded component through vias and the bond pads of the embedded component is minimized thus providing superior power management.
