An electronic package is provided, which includes: a first substrate; a first electronic component disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate stacked on the first substrate through a plurality of first conductive elements and a plurality of second conductive elements and bonded to the first electronic component through a bonding layer; and a first encapsulant formed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first conductive elements are different in structure from the second conductive elements so as to prevent a mold flow of the first encapsulant from generating an upward pushing force during a molding process and hence avoid cracking of the second substrate. The present disclosure further provides a method for fabricating the electronic package.

Interconnect structures with intermetallic palladium joints are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of forming an interconnect structure includes depositing a first conductive material comprising nickel on a first conductive surface of a first die, and depositing a second conductive material comprising nickel on a second conductive surface of a second die spaced apart from the first surface. The method further includes depositing a third conductive material on the second conductive material, and thermally compressing tin/solder between the first and third conductive materials to form an intermetallic palladium joint that extends between the first conductive material and the second conductive material such that one end of the intermetallic palladium joint is bonded directly to the first conductive material and an opposite end of the intermetallic palladium joint is bonded directly to the second conductive material.

An electronic device includes a semiconductor die having a first side, an orthogonal second side for mounting to a substrate or circuit board, a conductive terminal on the first side, the conductive terminal having a center that is spaced apart from the second side by a first distance along a direction, and a solder structure extending on the conductive terminal, the solder structure having a center that is spaced apart from the center of the conductive terminal by a non-zero second distance along the direction.

A semiconductor package includes a package substrate, a semiconductor chip, connection pins and a molding member. The package substrate includes wiring patterns provided respectively in insulation layers, and has insertion holes extending from an upper surface of the package substrate in a thickness direction that expose portions of the wiring patterns in different insulation layers.

The molding member is provided on the package substrate to cover the semiconductor chip.

Low stress bumps can be used to reduce stress and strain on bumps bonded to a substrate with different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) from the die. The low stress bumps include multiple polymer layers. More than one type of bump is coupled to a die, with low stress bumps placed on areas subjected to high stress.

A method forming an interconnect structure includes depositing a first solder bump on a chip; depositing a second solder bump on a laminate, the second solder bump including a nickel copper colloid surrounded by a nickel or copper shell and suspended in a tin-based solder; aligning the chip with the laminate; performing a first reflow process to join the chip to the laminate; depositing an underfill material around the first solder bump and the second solder bump; and performing a second reflow process at a temperature that is lower than the first reflow process to convert the first solder bump and the second solder bump to an all intermetallic interconnect; wherein depositing the underfill material is performed before or after performing the second reflow process.

A die includes a substrate, a metal pad over the substrate, and a passivation layer covering edge portions of the metal pad. A metal pillar is formed over the metal pad. A portion of the metal pillar overlaps a portion of the metal pad. A center of the metal pillar is misaligned with a center of the metal pad.
