  • Patent number: 6798057
    Abstract: A thin-stacked ball grid array (BGA) package is created by coupling a semi-conducting die to each of the opposing faces of an interposer having bond pads and circuitry on both faces. Solder balls on either side of each die and/or the interposer provide interconnects for stacking packages and also provide interconnects for module mounting. Each die may be electrically coupled to the interposer using wire bonds, “flip-chip” techniques, or other techniques as appropriate. A redistribution layer may also be formed on the outer surface of a bumped die to create connections between the die circuitry, ball pads and/or wire bonding pads. Because the two die are coupled to each other on opposite faces of the interposer, each package is extremely space-efficient. Individual packages may be stacked together prior to encapsulation or molding to further improve the stability and manufacturability of the stacked package.
