  • Publication number: 20200388576
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes for a layer for etched identification marks on a package. Embodiments include applying a layer to a side of a package, and laser etching the layer with an identification mark associated with the package to provide a visible identification on the package. In particular, the layer may be an EMI shielding layer of film laminate applied to the side of the package to protect the package from EMI or to protect surrounding components from EMI generated by the package. A laser or some other etching technique may then be performed on the layer to make a visible identification on the package.

  • Publication number: 20200312803
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes directed to an interconnect joint that includes multiple core balls within a solder compound where the multiple core balls are substantially linearly aligned. The multiple core balls, which may include copper or be a polymer, couple with each other within the solder and form a substantially linear alignment during reflow. In embodiments, four or more core balls may be used to achieve a high aspect ratio interconnect joint with a tight pitch.

  • Publication number: 20200243956
    Abstract: An RF chip package comprises a housing and one or more conductive contacts designed to electrically connect the RF chip package to other conductive contacts. The housing includes a first substrate, a 3-D antenna on the first substrate, and a second substrate. The second substrate includes a plurality of semiconductor devices and is bonded to the first substrate. An interconnect structure allows for electrical connection between the first and second substrates. In some cases, the first substrate is flip-chip bonded to the second substrate or is otherwise connected to the second substrate by an array of solder balls. By integrating both the 3-D antenna and RF circuitry together in the same chip package, costs are minimized while bandwidth is greatly improved compared to a separately machined 3-D antenna.

  • Patent number: 10504863
    Abstract: BGA packages with a spatially varied ball height, molds and techniques to form such packages. A template or mold with cavities may be pre-fabricated to hold solder paste material applied to the mold, for example with a solder paste printing process. The depth and/or diameter of the cavities may be predetermined as a function of spatial position within the mold working surface area. Mold cavity dimensions may be specified corresponding to package position to account for one or more pre-existing or expected spatial variations in the package, such as a package-level warpage measurement. Any number of different ball heights may be provided. The molds may be employed in a standardize process that need not be modified with each change in the mold.
