  • Patent number: 10546844
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a stack package, a first semiconductor chip is formed on a first package substrate. A second semiconductor chip is formed on a second package substrate. A plurality of signal pads and a thermal diffusion member are formed on a lower surface and/or an upper surface of an interposer substrate, the signal pad having a first height and the thermal diffusion member having a second height greater than the first height. The first package substrate, the interposer substrate, and the second package substrate are sequentially stacked on one another such that the thermal diffusion member is in contact with an upper surface of the first semiconductor chip or a lower surface of the second package substrate.

  • Patent number: 9048168
    Abstract: A semiconductor package can include a substrate body having a first surface and a second surface. A semiconductor chip can be mounted on the first surface and a plurality of electrode pads can be on the second surface and selectively formed to have progressively smaller or larger sizes extending from a central region of the substrate body toward an outer edge of the substrate body based on a reflow soldering process warpage profile for the semiconductor package.

  • Patent number: 8791562
    Abstract: A stack package usable in a three-dimensional (3D) system-in-package (SIP) includes a first semiconductor chip, a second semiconductor chip, and a supporter. The first semiconductor chip includes a through silicon via (TSV), and the second semiconductor chip is stacked on the first semiconductor chip and is electrically connected to the first semiconductor chip through the TSV of the first semiconductor chip. The supporter is attached onto the first semiconductor chip so as to be spaced apart from an edge of the second semiconductor chip.

  • Publication number: 20140061841
    Abstract: A semiconductor package including a substrate including an epoxy-based material, an image sensor chip mounted on the substrate, and an attaching part provided between the substrate and the image sensor chip may be provided. The attaching part may include a first attaching part, and a second attaching part provided around the first attaching part. The first attaching part may achieve high reliability of the semiconductor package in association with the second attaching part. The second attaching part may include a material having a low rigidity. Thus, it is possible to reduce or prevent warpage of the image sensor chip from occurring. Due to the presence of the second attaching part, a plane coverage ratio of the first attaching part relative to the image sensor chip can be reduced. Thus, the warpage of the image sensor chip can be reduced or prevented more effectively.
