System-in packages, or multichip modules, are described which can include multi-layer chips and multi-layer dummy substrates over a carrier, multiple through vias blindly or completely through the multi-layer chips and completely through the multi-layer dummy substrates, multiple metal plugs in the through vias, and multiple metal interconnects, connected to the metal plugs, between the multi-layer chips. The multi-layer chips can be connected to each other or to an external circuit or structure, such as mother board, ball grid array (BGA) substrate, printed circuit board, metal substrate, glass substrate, or ceramic substrate, through the metal plugs and the metal interconnects.

A multilayer electronic component includes a plurality of dielectric layers interleaved with a plurality of first and second polarity electrode layers. Internal and / or external anchor tabs may also be selectively interleaved with the dielectric layers. Portions of the electrodes and anchor tabs are exposed along the periphery of the electronic component in respective groups and thin-film plated deposition is formed thereon by electroless and / or electrolytic plating techniques. A solder dam layer is provided over a given component surface and formed to expose predetermined areas where solder barrier and flash materials may be deposited before attaching solder preforms. Some embodiments include plated terminations substantially covering selected component surfaces to facilitate with heat dissipation and signal isolation for the electronic components.

Electrically, thermally and mechanically enhanced ball grid array (BGA) packages are described. An IC die is mounted to a first surface of a first stiffener. A peripheral edge portion of a second surface of the first stiffener is attached to a first surface of a second stiffener to cover an opening through the second stiffener that is open at the first surface and a second surface of the second stiffener. The second surface of the second stiffener is attached to a first surface of a substantially planar substrate that has a plurality of contact pads on the first surface of the substrate. The plurality of contact pads are electrically connected through the substrate to a plurality of solder ball pads on a second surface of the substrate.

A ball grid array package is manufactured by mounting a semiconductor die to a first surface of a substrate and mounting a die adapter to the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die is wire bonded to ones of conductive traces of the substrate. A collapsible spacer is mounted to the substrate and the substrate is releasably clamped to an upper side of a mold cavity. A heat spreader and at least one collapsible spacer are placed in the mold cavity such that the collapsible spacer is disposed between the heat spreader and the substrate. A molding compound is molded in the mold, thereby molding the semiconductor die, the substrate, the wire bonds, the die adapter, the at least one collapsible spacer and the heat spreader into the molding compound to provide a molded package. A ball grid array is formed on a second surface of the substrate, bumps of the ball grid array being electrically connected to the conductive traces and the integrated circuit package is singulated.

In one embodiment, a pad is formed on a substrate surface. The pad is connected with a connecting pattern. A first mask is formed on the substrate. The first mask has a first opening exposing at least a portion of the pad and a portion of the connecting pattern. A second mask is formed on the first mask. The second mask has a second opening exposing at least a portion of the pad and a portion of the connecting pattern. A boundary surface or sidewall of the first opening is not coplanar with a boundary surface or sidewall of the second opening. Therefore, stresses may be prevented from concentrating on the boundary surface of the first opening, thereby allowing dispersion of the stresses and restraining pattern cracks.

On implementation of the invention provides a stackable chip-scale package for improving memory density that may be mounted within a limited area or module. A novel staggered routing scheme enables the use of the same trace routing at every level of the stacked architecture for efficiently accessing individual memory devices in a chip-scale package stack. The use of a ball grid array chip-scale package architecture in combination with thermally compatible materials decreases the risk of thermal cracking while improving heat dissipation. Moreover, this architecture permits mounting support components, such as capacitors and resistors, on the chip-scale package.

An electrically and thermally enhanced die-up tape substrate ball grid array (BGA) package and die-up plastic substrate BGA package are described. A substrate that has a first surface and a second surface is provided. The stiffener has a first surface and a second surface. The second stiffener surface is attached to the first substrate surface. An IC die has a first surface and a second surface. The first IC die surface is mounted to the first stiffener surface. A plurality of solder balls is attached to the second substrate surface. In one aspect, a heat spreader is mounted to the second IC die surface. In another aspect, the stiffener is coupled to ground to act as a ground plane. In another aspect, the substrate has a window opening that exposes a portion of the second stiffener surface. The exposed portion of the second stiffener surface is configured to be coupled to a printed circuit board (PCB). In another aspect, a metal ring is attached to the first stiffener surface. In another aspect, wire bond openings in the stiffener are bridged by one or more studs.
