  • Patent number: 8446019
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a device pad on a substrate. A first polymer layer overlies the substrate, and the first polymer layer has an opening to expose the device pad. In one embodiment, a redistribution layer (RDL) comprises a landing pad, and the RDL is positioned on the first polymer layer and conductively coupled to the device pad. A second polymer layer is on the RDL, and an under bump metal pad (UBM) is on the landing pad and extends onto a top surface of the second polymer layer. In one embodiment, a shortest distance from a center of the landing pad to an outer edge of the landing pad, and a shortest distance from a center of the UBM to an outer edge of the UBM are in a ratio that ranges from 0.5:1 up to 0.95:1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2013

  • Patent number: 8188606
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a device pad on a substrate. A polybenzoxazole (PBO) layer overlies the substrate, and the PBO layer has an opening to expose the device pad. A redistribution layer (RDL) comprises a landing pad, and the RDL is positioned on the PBO layer and conductively coupled to the device pad. A polymer layer is on the RDL, and an under bump metal pad (UBM) is on the landing pad and extends onto a top surface of the polymer layer. The UBM electrically connects to the landing pad through an opening in the polymer layer. A solder bump is secured to the UBM. A shortest distance from a center of the landing pad to an outer edge of the landing pad, and a shortest distance from a center of the UBM to an outer edge of the UBM are in a ratio that ranges from 0.5:1 up to 0.95:1.

  • Patent number: 7973418
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a semiconductor package including a bump on input-output (IO) structure are disclosed involving a device pad, an under bump metal pad (UBM), a polymer, and a passivation layer. The shortest distance from the center of the device pad to its outer edge, and the shortest distance from the center of the UBM to its outer edge are in a ratio from 0.5:1 to 0.95:1. Also, the shortest distance from the center of the polymer to its outer edge, and the shortest distance from the center of the UBM to its outer edge are in a ratio from 0.35:1 to 0.85:1. Additionally, the shortest distance from the center of the passivation layer to its outer edge, and the shortest distance from the center of the UBM to its outer edge are in a ratio from 0.35:1 to 0.80:1.
