  • Patent number: 9379048
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a semiconductor package includes a first and a second die flag, wherein the first and second die flags are separated by a gap. First and second metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) die are on the first and the second die flags, respectively. A power control integrated circuit (IC) is stacked on top of at least one of the first or the second MOSFET die. A mold compound is encapsulating the power control IC, the first and second MOSFET die, and the first and second die flags.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6093972
    Abstract: A microelectronic package (10) is formed and includes an integrated circuit die (12) attached to a substrate (14) by a plurality of solder bump interconnections (16) to form a preassembly (18). The integrated circuit die (12) has an active face (20) that faces the substrate (14) and is spaced apart therefrom by a gap (22). The integrated circuit die (12) also includes a back face (24) opposite the active face (20). The substrate (14) includes a die attach region (26) and a surrounding region (28) about the integrated circuit die (12). The solder bump interconnections (16) extend across the gap (22) and connect the integrated circuit die (12) and the substrate (14). A mold (30) is disposed about the preassembly (18) such that the mold (30) cooperates with the substrate (14) to define a mold cavity (32) that encloses the integrated circuit die (12).
