  • Patent number: 8618658
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a fabrication method thereof are provided. An electrically conductive elastic member is formed on a semiconductor die, and a conductive bump is formed on the elastic member. Accordingly, since the conductive bump is formed on the elastic member, or to protrude from a top surface of the elastic member, the height and thus diameter of the conductive bump is reduced allowing a fine pitch to be realized. Further, the elastic member is elastic and thus mitigates external impacts from being transferred from the conductive bump to the semiconductor die.

  • Patent number: 8446017
    Abstract: A stackable wafer level package and a fabricating method thereof are disclosed. In the stackable wafer level package, bond pads (or redistribution layers) are arranged on a bottom semiconductor die, and metal pillars are formed on some of the bond pads positioned around the edges of the bottom semiconductor die. A top semiconductor die is electrically connected to the other bond pads, on which the metal pillars are not formed, positioned around the center of the bottom semiconductor die through conductive bumps. The metal pillars and the top semiconductor die are encapsulated by an encapsulant. A plurality of interconnection patterns electrically connected to the metal pillars are formed on the surface of the encapsulant. Solder balls are attached to the interconnection patterns. Due to this stack structure, the wafer level package is reduced in thickness and footprint. Therefore, the wafer level package is highly suitable for mobile applications.

  • Patent number: 8058726
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor die including a bond pad, a redistribution layer, and a solder ball. The redistribution layer is formed by sequentially plating copper and nickel, sequentially plating nickel and copper, or sequentially plating copper, nickel, and copper.

  • Patent number: 7446422
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wafer level chip scale package and a method for manufacturing the same. An RDL is formed on a semiconductor die through a sputtering process, and a UBM is formed on the RDL through an electroplating process by using the RDL as a seed layer. Thus, the RDL sputtering, UBM electroplating, RDL etching and leakage descum processes are carried out only one time, thereby simplifying the structure and manufacturing processes of the package. Since a copper layer of the RDL is formed with a relatively large thickness through the sputtering process, current density is uniformly distributed during the electroplating process, so it is possible to uniformly form the thickness of the UBM by using pure nickel.
