Abstract: An integrated circuit package system is provided including forming an external interconnect having a lead body and a lead tip, forming a lead protrusion in the lead tip, connecting a device and the external interconnect, and encapsulating the device and the external interconnect.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package system is provided including forming a paddle, forming a ring with a recess in the paddle, mounting a device in the recess, forming a slot in the ring, and mounting a heat sink in the slot over the device.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package system is provided including forming a first external interconnect and a die paddle having a slot, forming an inner terminal from a peripheral region of the die paddle, connecting an integrated circuit die and the peripheral region for ground connection, and molding through the slot.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package system is provided including forming a mounting structure having an external interconnect, a paddle, and a tie bar; mounting an integrated circuit die on the paddle; soldering a stiffener structure; having an opening; on the mounting structure; connecting the stiffener structure to a ground; and molding the integrated circuit die and partially the stiffener structure through the opening.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package system is provided including forming a D-ring comprising half etching a paddle, etching a ring, and etching a tie bar. The tie bar is between the paddle and the ring. The system further includes mounting an integrated circuit die on a central portion of the D-ring, connecting the integrated circuit die and the D-ring, and encapsulating the integrated circuit die and a portion of the D-ring.

Abstract: A die is attached to a substrate and is enclosed in a heat spreader, the heat spreader having a first encapsulant guide and a heat spreader air vent in the heat spreader extending therethrough. An encapsulant encapsulates the die, the substrate, at least a portion of the heat spreader, the first encapsulant guide, and the heat spreader air vent such that the encapsulant enters the heat spreader through the first encapsulant guide and air exits the heat spreader through the heat spreader air vent, thus preventing the formation of air pockets under the heat spreader.

Abstract: In accordance with the objectives of the invention a new method and apparatus is provide for assuring contact balls coplanarity. The process and apparatus for coplanarity inspection is integrated with the current processing step of BGA device singulation and pick-and-place, thereby eliminating the need for a separate processing step that is typically required for the coplanarity inspection.
