The present disclosure relates to semiconductor devices. Embodiments of the teachings thereof may include processes for manufacturing of semiconductor devices and the devices themselves. For example, some embodiments may include an integrated circuit package comprising: a lead frame; a first die mounted on the lead frame in flip-chip fashion, with a frontside of the first die connected to the lead frame; wherein the first die comprises an oxide layer deposited on a backside of the first die and a back metal layer deposited on the oxide layer; and a second die mounted on the back metal layer of the first die.

Discussed generally herein are methods and devices including or providing an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. A device can include substrate including electrical connection circuitry therein, ground circuitry on, or at least partially in the substrate, the ground circuitry at least partially exposed by a surface of the substrate, a die electrically connected to the connection circuitry and the ground circuitry, the die on the substrate, a conductive material on a die backside, and a conductive paste or one or more wires electrically connected to the ground circuitry and the conductive material.

A fan-out wafer level package includes a semiconductor die with a redistribution layer on a sidewall of the semiconductor die. A redistribution layer positioned over the die includes an extended portion that extends along the sidewall. The semiconductor die is encapsulated in a molding compound layer. The molding compound layer is positioned between the extended portion of the redistribution layer and the sidewall of the semiconductor die. Solder contacts, for electrically connecting the semiconductor device to an electronic circuit board, are positioned on the redistribution layer. The solder contacts and the sidewall of the redistribution layer can provide electrical contact on two different locations. Accordingly, the package can be used to improve interconnectivity by providing vertical and horizontal connections.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated circuit (IC) package. In embodiments, an integrated circuit (IC) package may include a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate may have a plurality of dies coupled therewith. The IC package may include a first encapsulation material, having a first rigidity, disposed on the flexible substrate to at least partially encapsulate each die of the plurality dies. The IC package may further include a second encapsulation material, having a second rigidity, disposed on the flexible substrate. In embodiments, the second rigidity and the first rigidity are different from one another. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A semiconductor package includes a first sub-semiconductor device, an interposer, and a second sub-semiconductor device stacked on each other, and a heat sink covering the second sub-semiconductor device. The first sub-semiconductor device includes a first substrate and a first semiconductor chip. The interposer includes a dielectric layer, a thermal conductive layer in contact with a bottom surface of the dielectric layer, a first thermal conductive pad in contact with a top surface of the dielectric layer, and thermal conductive vias penetrating the dielectric layer to connect the thermal conductive layer to the first thermal conductive pad. A bottom surface of the thermal conductive layer is adjacent to and connected to a top surface of the first semiconductor chip. The second sub-semiconductor device is disposed on the dielectric layer without overlapping the first thermal conductive pad. The heat sink further covers the first thermal conductive pad to be connected thereto.

A semiconductor device has a first semiconductor die including a first protection circuit. A second semiconductor die including a second protection circuit is disposed over the first semiconductor die. A portion of the first semiconductor die and second semiconductor die is removed to reduce die thickness. An interconnect structure is formed to commonly connect the first protection circuit and second protection circuit. A transient condition incident to the interconnect structure is collectively discharged through the first protection circuit and second protection circuit. Any number of semiconductor die with protection circuits can be stacked and interconnected via the interconnect structure to increase the ESD current discharge capability. The die stacking can be achieved by disposing a first semiconductor wafer over a second semiconductor wafer and then singulating the wafers. Alternatively, die-to-wafer or die-to-die assembly is used.

A method for fabricating an electronic device includes fixing a rear face of an integrated-circuit chip to a front face of a support wafer. An infused adhesive is applied in the form of drops or segments that are separated from each other. A protective wafer is applied to the infused adhesive, and the infused adhesive is cured. The infused adhesive includes a curable adhesive and solid spacer elements infused in the curable adhesive. A closed intermediate peripheral ring is deposited on the integrated-circuit chip outside the cured infused adhesive, and an encapsulation block is formed such that it surrounds the chip, the protective wafer and the closed intermediate peripheral ring.

The present invention comprises a step of forming bump pads on the surface of the substrate, covering the whole surface with a second insulating layer, forming a copper barrier on the surface of a second insulating layer, forming a third insulating layer, and forming a copper layer for an electrical circuit. A mask is formed on the copper layer of the external circuit in such a way that only the region for the cavity is exposed. The cavity is formed by laser-drilling only the surface-exposed area of the third insulating layer. The copper layer at the bottom protects the second insulating layer and bump pads underneath from laser damages. The copper barrier is removed by chemical etch once the laser drill is over. The second insulating layer will be removed via sand blast process, exposing the bump pads which were fabricated in the earlier steps.

A semiconductor package includes a plurality of semiconductor chips on a substrate. The semiconductor chips include a first semiconductor chip, a second semiconductor chip, and a third semiconductor chip that are sequentially stacked on the substrate. The semiconductor package further includes a plurality of non-conductive layers between the substrate and the first semiconductor chip and between adjacent semiconductor chips among the semiconductor chips. The semiconductor chips include smaller widths as a distance from the substrate increases. Each of the non-conductive layers includes an extension protruding outward from a side surface of an overlying one of the semiconductor chips.

A semiconductor package including a mounting board, a first semiconductor chip on the mounting board, the first semiconductor chip having a first peripheral area, a second peripheral area, and a central area between the first and second peripheral areas, the central area having penetrating electrodes formed therein, a second semiconductor chip on the first peripheral area, the second semiconductor chip including a second pad on a top surface thereof, a third semiconductor chip on the second peripheral area, the third semiconductor chip including a third pad on a top surface thereof, and conductive wirings extending from the second and third pads, respectively, the conductive wirings electrically connected to the penetrating electrodes, respectively, may be provided.
