Abstract: A semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof are provided in which a dielectric material layer formed with a plurality of openings is used and a solder material is applied into each of the openings. A first copper layer and a second copper layer are in turn deposited over the dielectric material layer and solder materials, and the first and second copper layers are patterned to form a plurality of conductive traces each of which has a terminal coated with a metal layer. A chip is mounted on the conductive traces and electrically connected to the terminals by bonding wires, with the dielectric material layer and solder materials being exposed to the outside.

Abstract: A cavity-down ball grid array (CDBGA) semiconductor package with a heat spreader is provided, in which a substrate is formed with at least a ground ring, a plurality of ground vias, a ground layer, and at least an opening for receiving at least a chip. The substrate is mounted in a cavity of the heat spreader, and an electrically conductive adhesive is disposed between an inner wall of the cavity and edges of the substrate, so as to allow the ground layer and the ground ring exposed to the edges of the substrate to be electrically connected to the heat spreader by means of the electrically conductive adhesive. By the above arrangement with the heat spreader being included in a grounding circuit path of the chip, ground floatation and excess ground inductance and resistance can be prevented for the semiconductor package, thereby solving heat-dissipation, electromagnetic interference and crosstalk problems.

Abstract: A chip carrier with a dam bar structure is proposed. The chip carrier is defined with at least a chip attach area and a wire bonding area surrounding the chip attach area, allowing a chip to be mounted on the chip attach area and electrically connected to the wire bonding area by bonding wires bonded to the wire bonding area. A molding gate and a dam bar are formed on the substrate outside the chip attach area and wire bonding area. An molding compound is injected through the molding gate for encapsulating the chip and bonding wires. The dam bar is provided with a first gate directed toward the molding gate, a second gate and a third gate opposed to the second gate, wherein the second and third gates are each vertically arranged with respect to the molding gate, allowing the molding compound to divert its flow direction by the dam bar.

Abstract: A semiconductor packaging technology is proposed for the fabrication of a chip-on-chip (COC) based multi-chip module (MCM) with molded underfill. The proposed semiconductor packaging technology is characterized by the provision of a side gap of an empirically-predetermined width between the overlying chips mounted through COC technology over an underlying chip to serve as an air vent during molding process. This allows the injected molding material to flow freely into the flip-chip undergaps during molding process. In actual application, the exact width of the side gap is empirically predetermined through molded-underfill simulation experiments to find the optimal value. Based on experimental data, it is found that this side gap width should be equal to or less than 0.3 mm to allow optimal underfill effect. The optimal value for this side gap width may be varied for different package specifications.

Abstract: A semiconductor package with a heat dissipating element is proposed, in which the contact area between a semiconductor chip and the heat dissipating element is significantly reduced as the chip merely has its edge portion attached to the dissipating element. This makes an effect of a thermal stress on the chip reduced so as to prevent cracking and delamination for the chip. Moreover, the chip is partially exposed to the atmosphere, which allows the efficiency of heat dissipation and moisture escapement to be improved, so as to prevent a popcorn effect from occurrence and make the semiconductor package assured in reliability and quality.
