Methods and apparatuses relate generally to a packaged microelectronic device for a package-on-package device (PoP) with enhanced tolerance for warping. In one such packaged microelectronic device, interconnect structures are in an outer region of the packaged microelectronic device. A microelectronic device is coupled in an inner region of the packaged microelectronic device inside the outer region. A dielectric layer surrounds at least portions of shafts of the interconnect structures and along sides of the microelectronic device. The interconnect structures have first ends thereof protruding above an upper surface of the dielectric layer a distance to increase a warpage limit for a combination of at least the packaged microelectronic device and one other packaged microelectronic device directly coupled to protrusions of the interconnect structures.

A module includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a substrate, component pads on a top surface of the substrate, and contact pads formed on a bottom surface of the substrate. The module further includes a mold compound disposed over the PCB; an external shield disposed over a top surface of the mold compound and on side surfaces of the mold compound and the PCB, where the external shield is configured to provide shielding of at least one component connected to at least one component pad from electromagnetic radiation; and a back-spill barrier formed on the bottom of the substrate. The back-spill barrier surrounds the contact pads, and is configured to prevent the external shield from making contact with the contact pads.

A surface mount structure comprises a redistribution structure, an electrical connection and an encapsulant. The redistribution structure has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The electrical connection is on the first surface of the redistribution structure. The encapsulant encapsulates the first surface of the redistribution structure and the electrical connection. A portion of the electrical connection is exposed by the encapsulant.

A method of forming a semiconductor device package is provided, including bonding passive devices to a first surface of a package substrate; forming a first underfill element on the first surface to surround the passive devices; forming a first molding layer to encapsulate the passive devices and the first underfill element; bonding a die to a second surface of the package substrate; forming a second underfill element on the second surface to surround the die; forming a second molding layer to encapsulate the die and the second underfill element; forming openings in the second molding layer to expose contact pads formed on the second surface of the package substrate; and disposing conductive bumps in the openings to electrically contact the contact pads, wherein the conductive bumps is in direct contact with the second surface and exposed from the second molding layer.

A pre-soldered circuit carrier includes a carrier having a metal die attach surface, a plated solder region on the metal die attach surface, wherein a maximum thickness of the plated solder region is at most 50 m, the plated solder region has a lower melting point than the first bond pad, and the plated solder region forms one or more intermetallic phases with the die attach surface at a soldering temperature that is above the melting point of the plated solder region.

The invention provides a circuit pin positioning structure, a fabrication method of soldered circuit elements and a method of forming circuit pins of a stacked package, applicable to a semiconductor package structure. A positioning rack and a plurality of conductor elements are used. A plurality of positioning holes are provided on a bottom surface of the positioning rack to form a conductor positioning area, and an operational portion is formed on an opposing surface away from the conductor positioning area, for being mounted with pick and place equipment. The conductor elements are positioned in the positioning holes. When the pick and place equipment loads and moves the positioning rack to preformed circuit contacts of the stacked package, the conductor elements are soldered to the preformed circuit contacts and then the positioning rack is removed.
