Abstract: A semiconductor wafer has integrated circuits formed thereon and a top passivation layer applied. The passivation layer is patterned and selectively etched to expose contact pads on each semiconductor die. The wafer is exposed to ionized gas causing the upper surface of passivation layer to roughen and to slightly roughen the upper surface of the contact pads. The wafer is cut to form a plurality of semiconductor dies each with a roughened passivation layer. The plurality of semiconductor dies are placed on an adhesive layer and a reconstituted wafer formed. Redistribution layers are formed to complete the semiconductor package having electrical contacts for establishing electrical connections external to the semiconductor package, after which the wafer is singulated to separate the dice.

Abstract: A bar formed from a reconstituted wafer and containing one or more conductive material filled voids is used to electrically and physically connect the top and bottom packages in a package-on-package (PoP) package. The bar is disposed in the fan out area of the lower package forming the PoP package.

Abstract: A manufacturing process includes forming a reconstituted wafer, including embedding semiconductor dice in a molding compound layer and forming through-wafer vias in the layer. A fan-out redistribution layer is formed on a front side of the wafer, with electrical traces interconnecting the dice, through-wafer vias, and contact pads positioned on the redistribution layer. Solder balls are positioned on the contact pads and a molding compound layer is formed on the redistribution layer, reinforcing the solder balls. A second fan-out redistribution layer is formed on a back side of the wafer, with electrical traces interconnecting back ends of the through-wafer vias and contact pads positioned on a back face of the second redistribution layer. Flip-chips and/or surface-mounted devices are coupled to the contact pads of the second redistribution layer and encapsulated in an underfill layer formed on the back face of the second redistribution layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor packaging process includes drilling apertures in a reconstituted wafer, then filling the apertures with conductive paste by wiping a quantity of the paste across a back surface of the wafer so that paste is forced into the apertures. The paste is cured to form conductive posts. The wafer is thinned, and redistribution layers are formed on front and back surfaces of the wafer, with the posts acting as interconnections between the redistribution layers. In an alternative process, blind apertures are drilled. A dry film resist is applied to the front surface of the wafer, and patterned to expose the apertures. Conductive paste is applied from the front. To prevent paste from trapping air pockets in the apertures, the wiping process is performed under vacuum. After curing the paste, the wafer is thinned to expose the cured paste in the apertures, and redistribution layers are formed.

Abstract: A semiconductor package and method of forming the same is described. The semiconductor package is formed from a semiconductor die cut from a semiconductor wafer that has a passivation layer. The semiconductor wafer is exposed to ionized gas causing the passivation layer to roughen. The semiconductor wafer is cut to form a plurality of semiconductor dies each with a roughened passivation layer. The plurality of semiconductor dies are placed on an adhesive layer to form a reconstituted wafer, and an encapsulation layer is formed enclosing the adhesive layer and the plurality of semiconductor dies. The passivation layer is removed and the semiconductor package formed includes electrical contacts for establishing electrical connections external to the semiconductor package.
