  • Patent number: 6590282
    Abstract: A stacked semiconductor package formed on a substrate arranged in a serpentine configuration and a method for such fabrication are disclosed. The package is formed by at least one substrate section formed on the substrate bonded to at least one IC die by a flip-chip bonding method. The substrate is then folded onto itself such that the backside of a first IC die is adhesively bonded to the backside of a second IC die. A heat sink may optionally be utilized in-between the IC dies during the adhesive bonding process to further enhance thermal dissipation. The substrate section may be bonded to a printed circuit board by a plurality of solder balls formed on an active surface of the substrate section. The present invention can be bonded to a printed circuit board either in a horizontal position or in a vertical position for saving more real-estate on the board.

    Abstract: A one-step bumping/bonding process for forming a semiconductor package is disclosed. In the method, a first electronic substrate which has either a plurality of conductive pads or a plurality of recessed openings formed on top of a plurality of apertures through the substrate is first provided and aligned with a second electronic substrate that has a plurality of conductive pads with each aperture aligned to a conductive pad on the second substrate. A plurality of solder balls is then planted on top of the plurality of conductive pads or the plurality of recessed openings on the surface of the first electronic substrate by a pick-and-place technique. Alternatively, a plurality of solder paste may be printed by a thick film stencil printing process similarly in place of the plurality of solder balls.

  • Patent number: 6479321
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method that applies one time of reflow after stacking a plurality of semiconductor elements to complete the packaging. The upper surface of the chip carrier substrate (opposite side to the chip) in a semiconductor packaging element is implanted with solder balls or coated with solder paste. After stacking a plurality of the semiconductor packaging elements together, a reflow is applied to achieve electrical and physical connections among substrates. If the semiconductor packaging elements are ultra-thin elements, then one only needs to implant solder balls or coat solder paste on the substrate top surface of the top semiconductor packaging element and the substrate bottom surface of the bottom semiconductor packaging element. The reflow will make the soldering material permeate through each layer of substrate, completing the electrical connection between substrates.
