  • Patent number: 7061103
    Abstract: A chip package structure is disclosed. The chip package structure essentially comprises a carrier, one or more chips, a heat sink and an encapsulating material layer. At least one of the chips is flip-chip bonded and electrically connected to the carrier or another chip. There is a flip-chip bonding gap between the chip and the carrier or other chips. A heat sink is positioned on the uppermost chip. The encapsulating material layer fills the flip-chip bonding gap as well as a gap between the uppermost chip and the heat sink. A part of the surface of the heat sink away from the upper-most chip is exposed. Furthermore, the encapsulating material layer is formed in a simultaneous molding process. For example, the chip is separated from the heat sink by a distance between 0.03˜0.2 mm, and the encapsulating material has a thermal conductivity greater than 1.2 W/m.K.

  • Patent number: 6120716
    Abstract: An epoxy resin encapsulating material for molding in a semiconductor chip by the use of a transfer molding device. The material has constituents of an epoxy resin, a curing agent, an inorganic filler, and a release agent. The material consists of 99 wt % or more of granules having a diameter of 0.1 to 5.0 mm and 1 wt % or less of minute particles having a diameter of less than 0.1 mm. The mass of the material exhibit an angle of slide of 20 to 40.degree., which demonstrates good flowability free from clogging a passage leading to a mold cavity in the transfer molding device, thereby assuring enhanced encapsulation quality. The material is prepared firstly by kneading the encapsulating composition having the above constituents and by solidifying the composition into a semi-cured solid body of B-stage condition. The sem-cured solid body is then pulverized into pieces having a diameter of 5.0 mm or less. The pieces are composed of granules having a diameter of 0.1 mm to 5.
