Abstract: Some implementations described herein include systems and techniques for fabricating a stacked die product. The systems and techniques include using a supporting fill mixture that includes a combination of types of composite particulates in a lateral gap region of a stack of semiconductor substrates and along a perimeter region of the stack of semiconductor substrates. One type of composite particulate included in the combination may be a relatively smaller size and include a smooth surface, allowing the composite particulate to ingress deep into the lateral gap region. Properties of the supporting fill mixture including the combination of types of composite particulates may control thermally induced stresses during downstream manufacturing to reduce a likelihood of defects in the supporting fill mixture and/or the stack of semiconductor substrates.

Abstract: An easily reworkable circuit module is provided that allows unusable electronic components that have been encapsulated to be removed from a printed circuit board. A chip or MCM attached to a carrier using direct chip attach methods (DCA), such as C4 or SBC techniques that leave a space between the chip/MCM and carrier, due to the height of the solder balls, connection pads and the like. The present invention places a non-stick release coating on all surfaces intermediate of the chip and carrier. That is, the release coating of the present invention is placed by spraying, or the like between the chip and carrier to form a thin liquid film which inhibits the adhesion of a subsequently applied and cured rigid polymer encapsulant. Thus, when a chip or MCM tests as "bad", rework is a relatively simple matter. The solder connections between the chip and carrier of the module are reflowed and the chip is lifted off.
