In one embodiment, a method for forming a package substrate includes selectively removing portions of a lead frame to form cavities and filling the cavities with a resin layer to define an adhesion pad and a land structure. Top portions of the lead frame are selectively removed to isolate the adhesion pad and the land structure from each other, to expose a top surface of the resin layer, and to form at least one land having a part with a relatively greater size than the size of a respective lower part.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor wafer. A plurality of pillar bumps is formed over the semiconductor wafer. A solder is deposited over the pillar bumps. The semiconductor wafer is singulated into a plurality of semiconductor die after forming the pillar bumps while the semiconductor wafer is on a carrier. An encapsulant is deposited around the semiconductor die and pillar bumps while the semiconductor die remains on the carrier. The encapsulant covers an active surface of the semiconductor die between the pillar bumps.

A mounting structure, including: a first component that has a first bump; a second component that has a second bump; a mounting component that has a primary mounting surface and a secondary mounting surface; a first solder that connects an electrode on the primary mounting surface and the first bump; a second solder that connects an electrode on the secondary mounting surface and the second bump; and a reinforcing resin that covers a part of the first solder and that is not in contact with the primary mounting surface.

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for forming thin-form-factor reconstituted substrates and semiconductor device packages for radio frequency applications. The substrate and package structures described herein may be utilized in high-density 2D and 3D integrated devices for 4G, 5G, 6G, and other wireless network systems. In one embodiment, a silicon substrate is structured by laser ablation to include cavities for placement of semiconductor dies and vias for deposition of conductive interconnections. Additionally, one or more cavities are structured to be filled or occupied with a flowable dielectric material. Integration of one or more radio frequency components adjacent the dielectric-filled cavities enables improved performance of the radio frequency elements with reduced signal loss caused by the silicon substrate.

Technologies are generally described related to three-dimensional integration of integrated circuits (ICs) with spacing for heat dissipation. According to some examples, a self-aligned silicide may be formed in a temporary silicon layer and removed subsequent to bonding of the wafers to achieve improved contact between the combined ICs and enhanced heat dissipation through added spacing between the ICs.

In a method of manufacturing an element chip for manufacturing a plurality of element chips by dividing a substrate, where the protruding portions, which are exposed element electrodes, are formed on element regions, protection films made of fluorocarbon film are formed on a second surface and side surfaces of the element chip, and a first surface in a gap by exposing the element chip to second plasma after the substrate is divided by etching. Next, the protection films formed on the second surface and the side surfaces of the element chip are removed while leaving at least a part of the protection film formed in the gap by exposing the element chip to third plasma. Therefore, creep-up of a conductive material in a mounting step is suppressed by the left protection film.

The present invention relates generally to integrated circuit (IC) chip packaging, and more particularly, to a structure and method of forming a glass interposer having thermally conductive vias in addition to electrically conductive vias. The thermally conductive vias help dissipate heat from one or more IC chips, through the glass interposer, into an organic carrying, and then, into an underlying substrate where it can be dissipated.
