Abstract: An integrated circuit die is provided having a body portion having a singulation side and a pedestal portion extending from the body portion and having a singulation side coplanar with the singulation side of the body portion.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package system is provided including providing a substrate having a first surface and second surface; mounting interconnects to the first surface; mounting integrated circuit dies to the first surface; embedding the interconnects and the integrated circuit die within an encapsulant on the substrate and leaving top portions of the interconnects exposed; attaching solder balls to the second surface; and singulating the substrate and the encapsulant into a plurality of integrated circuit packages.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package system is provided including providing a wafer including image sensor systems having interconnects connected thereto and encapsulating the image sensor systems and interconnects in a transparent encapsulant. The system includes removing a portion of the transparent encapsulant to expose portions of the interconnects and singulating the wafer to form image sensor devices including at least one of the image sensor systems and a number of the interconnects.

Abstract: A chip package system is provided including providing a chip having interconnects provided thereon; forming a molding compound on the chip and encapsulating the interconnects; and forming a recess in the molding compound above the interconnects to expose the interconnects.

Abstract: Semiconductor assemblies include a first package, each having at least one die affixed to, and electrically interconnected with, a die attach side of the first package substrate, and a second substrate having a first side and a second (“land”) side, mounted over the molding of the first package with the first side of the second substrate facing the die attach side of the first package substrate. Accordingly, the die attach sides of the first substrate and the first side of the second substrate face one another, and the “land” sides of the substrates face away from one another. Z-interconnection of the package and the substrate is by wire bonds connecting the first and second substrates. The assembly is encapsulated in such a way that both the land side of the second substrate (one side of the assembly) and a portion of the land side of the first package substrate (on the opposite side of the assembly) are exposed, so that second level interconnection and interconnection with additional components may be made.

Abstract: Stacked package assemblies include first and second stacked packages, each having at least one die affixed to, and electrically interconnected with, a die attach side of the package substrate. One package is inverted in relation to the other; that is, the die attach sides of the package substrates face one another, and the “land” sides of the substrates face away from one another. Z-interconnection of the packages is by wire bonds connecting the first and second package substrates. The assembly is encapsulated in such a way that both the second package substrate (one side of the assembly) and a portion of the first package substrate (on the opposite side of the assembly) are exposed, so that second level interconnection and interconnection with additional components may be made. In some embodiments the first package is a chip scale package, and the second package is a land grid array package.

Abstract: An encapsulant cavity integrated circuit package system including forming a first integrated circuit package with an inverted bottom terminal having an encapsulant cavity and an interposer, and attaching a component on the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a substrate. A crenellated spacer is attached to the substrate. At least one top die is attached to the crenellated spacer. The at least one top die is wire bonded to the substrate, and an encapsulant is formed over the crenellated spacer and the at least one top die.

Abstract: An integrated circuit die is provided having a body portion having a singulation side and a pedestal portion extending from the body portion and having a singulation side coplanar with the singulation side of the body portion.

Abstract: A system is provided for an integrated circuit package including a leadframe having a lead finger. A groove is formed in a lead finger for a conductive bonding agent and a passive device is placed in the groove to be held by the conductive bonding agent.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor heat spreader from a unitary metallic plate is provided. The unitary metallic plate is formed into a panel, channel walls, at least two feet, and at least one external reversing bend. The channel walls depend from the panel to define a channel between the channel walls and the panel for receiving a semiconductor therein. The feet extend from respective channel walls for attachment to a substrate.

Abstract: A stacked semiconductor package includes a substrate and a first semiconductor device on the substrate. An interposer is supported above the first semiconductor device opposite the substrate. The interposer is electrically connected to the substrate. A second semiconductor device is mounted on the interposer.

Abstract: A method for forming a heat spreader, and the heat spreader formed thereby, are disclosed. An array heat spreader having a plurality of connected heat spreader panels is formed. Slots are formed in opposing sides of the heat spreader panels. Legs are formed on and extending downwardly from each of the heat spreader panels in at least an opposing pair of the slots on the heat spreader panels. The legs are integral with the respective heat spreader panels from which they depend.
