  • Publication number: 20160307778
    Abstract: Various embodiments of mechanisms for forming through package vias (TPVs) with openings surrounding end-portions of the TPVs and a package on package (PoP) device with bonding structures utilizing the TPVs are provided. The openings are formed by removing materials, such as by laser drill, surrounding the end-portions of the TPVs. The openings surrounding the end-portions of the TPVs of the die package enable solders of the bonding structures formed between another die package to remain in the openings without sliding and consequently increases yield and reliability of the bonding structures. Polymers may also be added to fill the openings surrounding the TPVs or even the space between the die packages to reduce cracking of the bonding structures under stress.

  • Publication number: 20160284677
    Abstract: Various embodiments of mechanisms for forming through package vias (TPVs) with multiple conductive layers and/or recesses in a die package and a package on package (PoP) device with bonding structures utilizing the TPVs are provided. One of the multiple conductive layers acts as a protective layer of the main conductive layer of the TPVs. The protective layer is less likely to oxidize and also has a slower formation rate of intermetallic compound (IMC) when exposed to solder. The recesses in TPVs of a die package are filled by solder from the other die package and the IMC layer formed is below the surface of TPVs, which strengthen the bonding structures.
