  • Patent number: 11114359
    Abstract: At least one redistribution layer (RDL) is provided on a silicon die. A passivation layer is deposited on the RDL. First openings having a first diameter are etched in the passivation layer where copper posts are to be formed. A seed layer is deposited over the passivation layer and within the openings. A photoresist layer is coated on the seed layer and patterned to form second openings having a second diameter over the first openings larger than the first diameter. Copper is plated on the seed layer to form copper posts filling the second openings. The silicon die is die attached to a metal substrate. A lamination layer is coated over the silicon die and the copper posts. Third openings are formed through the lamination layer to the copper posts and to metal pads on the metal substrate. Metal vias are formed in the third openings.

  • Patent number: 10727174
    Abstract: A method for forming a wafer level chip scale package begins with providing an integrated circuit wafer. Applying a dielectric material to the surface of the integrated circuit wafer. A redistribution conductive layer is formed upon the dielectric material to make contact with the input/output contacts of the integrated circuit. A polymer-based film is applied to the surface of the integrated circuit wafer and is subjected to a compression molding process. Alignment marks are placed on the edge of the integrated circuit wafer. A laser ablation process is implemented to prepare through mold via (TMV) in the cured thermoset plastic material. The solder ball or copper pillar input/output connector is placed in the through mold via (TMV). A reflow process is instigated to connect the input/output connector to the redistribution conductive layer's pad surface.
