  • Publication number: 20180226515
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a first substrate with a vertical electrical interconnect structure formed between opposing surfaces of the first substrate. A semiconductor die is embedded within the first substrate. A plurality of semiconductor pellets is disposed over or within the first substrate. A first semiconductor pellet is doped to a first conductivity type, and a second semiconductor pellet is doped to a second conductivity type. A second thermally conductive substrate is disposed over the semiconductor pellets opposite the first substrate. An image sensor is disposed over the first substrate. The image sensor is electrically connected through the vertical electrical interconnect structure of the first substrate. An encapsulant is deposited over the image sensor with an opening in the encapsulant over an active region of the image sensor. Electric current is enabled through the semiconductor pellets for heat dissipation of the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 8035216
    Abstract: Decoupling capacitors are frequently used in computer systems in order to control noise. In general, decoupling capacitors are placed as close as possible to the devices they protect in order to minimize the amount of line inductance and series resistance between the devices and the capacitors. An integrated circuit package includes a substrate (110, 210) having a first surface (111, 211) and an opposing second surface (112, 212), and a die platform (130, 230) adjacent to the first surface of the substrate. The substrate has a recess (120, 220) therein. The integrated circuit package further includes a capacitor (140, 240) in the recess of the substrate. The presence of a recess in the substrate provides an opportunity to reduce the separation distance between a die supported by the die platform and the decoupling capacitors. A further advantage of embodiments of the invention lies in its ability to maintain socket compatibility.

  • Patent number: 7304381
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an integrated circuit package includes a substrate and a heat spreader coupled to the substrate by fasteners. Thermal interface material thermally couples the die to the heat spreader. The heat spreader is provided over the die and is attached to the substrate with fasteners rather than a sealant-adhesive. Some examples of suitable fasteners may include rivets, barbed connectors, and gripping clips.
