Some embodiments relate to an electronic package. The electronic package includes a substrate that includes a plurality of buildup layers. A first die is embedded in one of the buildup layers on one side of the substrate. A second die is bonded to the substrate within a cavity on an opposing side of the substrate. The first die and the second die may be electrically connected to conductors within the plurality of buildup layers. Other embodiments relate to method of connecting a first die to a second die to form an electronic package. The method includes attaching a first die to a core and fabricating a substrate onto the core. The method further includes creating a cavity in another of the buildup layers on an opposing side of the substrate and attaching a second die to the substrate within the cavity.

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a semiconductor die, and an antistatic die attach material between the substrate and the semiconductor die. The antistatic die attach material includes a mixture of a nonconductive adhesive material and carbon black or graphite.

A manufacturing method comprises preparing a bonding substrate having bumps thereon; preparing a mounted member having external conductive members; applying a fixing material to the surface of the bonding substrate and/or to a surface of the mounted member; and fixing the bonding substrate and the mounted member with the fixing material such that the bumps contact the external conductive members. The fixing material is prepared to contain a first compound and a second compound, each having respective viscosities which change depending on their respective temperature profiles; and applying the fixing material to the bonding substrate and/or the mounted member at a temperature lower than a first temperature, and the fixing comprises pressing the bonding substrate against the mounted member when the fixing material has a temperature lower than the first temperature; and heating the fixing material to a temperature higher than the second temperature and curing the fixed material.

An assembly of a semiconductor chip having pads to a substrate having pads aligned to receive the semiconductor chip is provided, whereby at least one of the semiconductor chip pads and substrate pads include solder bumps. The solder bumps are deformed against the substrate pads and the semiconductor chip pads, whereby an underfill material is applied to fill the gap between the semiconductor chip and substrate. The underfill material does not penetrate between the deformed solder bumps, the semiconductor chip pads, and the substrate pads. At least one of the solder bumps have not been melted or reflowed to make a metallurgical bond between the semiconductor chip pads and the substrate pads, and at least another one of the solder bumps have been melted or reflowed to make a metallurgical bond between the semiconductor chip pads and the substrate pads.

A semiconductor package including a plurality of stacked semiconductor die, and methods of forming the semiconductor package, are disclosed. In order to ease wirebonding requirements on the controller die, the controller die may be mounted directly to the substrate in a flip chip arrangement requiring no wire bonds or footprint outside of the controller die. Thereafter, a spacer layer may be affixed to the substrate around the controller die to provide a level surface on which to mount one or more flash memory die. The spacer layer may be provided in a variety of different configurations.

A package may include a substrate and a semiconductor die with the substrate having a smaller width than the semiconductor die and encapsulated in a mold compound. In one example, the package may be a wafer level package that allows an external connection on the backside of the package to enable manufacturing in a panel or wafer form.

A dual side cooling power module includes: a lower substrate including a recessed portion on at least one surface thereof, a semiconductor chip formed in the recessed portion, lead frames formed at both ends of the lower substrate, and an upper substrate formed on the semiconductor chip, a portion of the lead frames, and the lower substrate.
