  • Publication number: 20190013254
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mold module that includes a device layer, a number of first bump structures, a first mold compound, a stop layer, and a second mold compound. The device layer includes a number of input/output (I/O) contacts at a top surface of the device layer. Each first bump structure is formed over the device layer and electronically coupled to a corresponding I/O contact. The first mold compound resides over the device layer, and a portion of each first bump structure is exposed through the first mold compound. The stop layer is formed underneath the device layer. The second mold compound resides underneath the stop layer, such that the stop layer separates the device layer from the second mold compound.

  • Patent number: 10020206
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to enhancing the thermal performance of encapsulated flip chip dies. According to an exemplary process, a plurality of flip chip dies are attached on a top surface of a carrier, and a first mold compound is applied over the top surface of the carrier to encapsulate the plurality of flip chip dies. The first mold compound is thinned down to expose a substrate of each flip chip die and the substrate of each flip chip die is then substantially etched away to provide an etched flip chip die that has an exposed surface at the bottom of a cavity. Next, a second mold compound with high thermal conductivity is applied to substantially fill each cavity and the top surface of the second mold compound is planarized. Finally, the encapsulated etched flip chip dies can be marked, singulated, and tested as a module.

  • Publication number: 20160284570
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package having encapsulated dies with enhanced thermal performance. The semiconductor package includes a carrier, an etched flip chip die attached to a top surface of the carrier, a first mold compound, and a second mold compound. The etched flip chip die includes a device layer and essentially does not include a substrate. The first mold compound resides on the top surface of the carrier, surrounds the etched flip chip die, and extends beyond a top surface of the etched flip chip die to form a cavity, to which the top surface of the etched flip chip die is exposed. The second mold compound fills the cavity and is in contact with the top surface of the etched flip chip die. The second mold compound having a high thermal conductivity improves thermal performance of the etched flip chip die.
