  • Patent number: 11855023
    Abstract: A wafer level fan out semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. A first sealing part is formed on lateral surfaces of a semiconductor die. A plurality of redistribution layers are formed on surfaces of the semiconductor die and the first sealing part, and solder balls are attached to the redistribution layers. The solder balls are arrayed on the semiconductor die and the first sealing part. In addition, a second sealing part is formed on the semiconductor die, the first sealing part and lower portions of the solder balls. The solder balls are exposed to the outside through the second sealing part. Since the first sealing part and the second sealing part are formed of materials having thermal expansion coefficients which are the same as or similar to each other, warpage occurring to the wafer level fan out semiconductor device can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9627348
    Abstract: Laser assisted bonding for semiconductor die interconnections is disclosed and may, for example, include forming flux on a circuit pattern on a circuit board, placing a semiconductor die on the circuit board where a bump on the semiconductor die contacts the flux, and reflowing the bump by directing a laser beam toward the semiconductor die. The laser beam may volatize the flux and make an electrical connection between the bump and the circuit pattern. A jig plate may be placed on the semiconductor die when the laser beam is directed toward the semiconductor die. Warpage may be reduced during heating or cooling of the semiconductor die by applying pressure to the jig plate. Jig bars may extend outward from the jig plate and may be in contact with the circuit board during the application of pressure to the jig plate. The jig plate may comprise one or more of: silicon, silicon carbide, and glass.
