Abstract: Provided is a stack package using an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) for reducing thermal stresses exerted on chip scale packages (CSPs) during the initial manufacture of stack packages from a plurality of CSPs and for facilitating the repair and/or rework of stack packages incorporating CSPs while reducing the likelihood of damage to the CSPs. In the stack package including a plurality of CSPs stacked using an ACF, each CSP will typically include a circuit board, a semiconductor chip mounted on and electrically connected to the circuit board, and solder balls or other conductive structures arranged the semiconductor chip on the peripheral regions of the circuit board. Also provided are methods for the initial production of such stack packages and supplemental methods for the repair and rework of such stack packages.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor chip package may include screen printing an adhesive on a substrate using a screen printing mask. The adhesive may be heated during a first curing process. A semiconductor chip may be attached to the adhesive on the substrate. The adhesive may be heated during a second curing process. The physical property of the adhesive may be transformed before and after a screen printing process to improve the operational performance and/or quality of the adhesive.

Abstract: A semiconductor package may include a substrate having a first major surface supporting a substrate pad and a bump pad electrically connected to the substrate pad. The substrate may have a second major surface with a concave part. A substrate window may extend through the substrate and open at the concave part. A semiconductor chip may be mounted on the substrate. The semiconductor chip may have a chip pad exposed through the substrate windows. Additionally, a method may involve forming a concave part in the substrate.
