  • Publication number: 20140077389
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a substrate including a base and a plurality of conductive posts extending from the base. The substrate can be a wafer-shape, panel, or singulated form. The conductive posts can have a circular, rectangular, tapered, or narrowing intermediate shape. A semiconductor die is disposed through an opening in the base between the conductive posts. The semiconductor die extends above the conductive posts or is disposed below the conductive posts. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and around the conductive posts. The base and a portion of the encapsulant is removed to electrically isolate the conductive posts. An interconnect structure is formed over the semiconductor die, encapsulant, and conductive posts. An insulating layer is formed over the semiconductor die, encapsulant, and conductive posts. A semiconductor package is disposed over the semiconductor die and electrically connected to the conductive posts.

  • Publication number: 20140054802
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die and first insulating layer formed over the semiconductor die. A patterned trench is formed in the first insulating layer. A conductive ink is deposited in the patterned trench by disposing a stencil over the first insulating layer with an opening aligned with the patterned trench and depositing the conductive ink through the opening in the stencil into the patterned trench. Alternatively, the conductive ink is deposited by dispensing the conductive ink through a nozzle into the patterned trench. The conductive ink is cured by ultraviolet light at room temperature. A second insulating layer is formed over the first insulating layer and conductive ink. An interconnect structure is formed over the conductive ink. An encapsulant can be deposited around the semiconductor die. The patterned trench is formed in the encapsulant and the conductive ink is deposited in the patterned trench in the encapsulant.

  • Patent number: 8659113
    Abstract: An embedded semiconductor die package is made by mounting a frame carrier to a temporary carrier with an adhesive. The frame carrier includes die mounting sites each including a leadframe interconnect structure around a cavity. A semiconductor die is disposed in each cavity. An encapsulant is deposited in the cavity over the die. A package interconnect structure is formed over the leadframe interconnect structure and encapsulant. The package interconnect structure and leadframe interconnect structure are electrically connected to the die. The frame carrier is singulated into individual embedded die packages. The semiconductor die can be vertically stacked or placed side-by-side within the cavity. The embedded die packages can be stacked and electrically interconnected through the leadframe interconnect structure. A semiconductor device can be mounted to the embedded die package and electrically connected to the die through the leadframe interconnect structure.
