  • Publication number: 20120108035
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes preparing a semiconductor wafer having a top surface and a bottom surface. The semiconductor wafer is loaded onto a wafer chuck, and the bottom surface of the loaded semiconductor wafer faces the wafer chuck. A groove is formed in the top surface of the loaded semiconductor wafer by irradiating a second laser onto the top surface, and a reforming region is formed in the loaded semiconductor wafer under the groove by irradiating a first laser through wafer chuck and bottom surface of the semiconductor wafer into a region in which the first laser is focused. The semiconductor wafer is unloaded from the wafer chuck. The bottom surface of the semiconductor wafer is ground to decrease a thickness of the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer is separated along the groove and the reforming region, thereby forming a plurality of unit chips.

  • Publication number: 20120013007
    Abstract: A Package-on-Package (POP) semiconductor package has a structure in which a second semiconductor package is stacked on a first semiconductor package. A plurality of spacers are disposed between a first substrate of the first semiconductor package and a second substrate of the second semiconductor package so as to maintain a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate. The plurality of spacers may project from a bottom surface of the second substrate toward the first substrate, or may project from a top surface of the first substrate toward the second substrate. When an upper molding layer is formed on the second substrate so as to cover a second semiconductor chip, the plurality of spacers may be connected to the upper molding layer via through holes that vertically pass through the second substrate.
