Semiconductor devices including structures for thermal management, and associated systems and methods, are described herein. In some embodiments, a semiconductor device includes a first die assembly including a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of active circuit elements at a first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The device also includes a second die assembly including a carrier substrate and a redistribution structure on or over a first surface of the carrier substrate. The device further includes a thermal buffer structure between the first and second die assemblies, the thermal buffer structure being coupled to a second surface of the semiconductor substrate and a second surface of the carrier substrate. The device also includes a plurality of interconnections extending through at least the semiconductor substrate, the carrier substrate, and the thermal buffer structure to electrically couple the active circuit elements to the redistribution structure.

Disclosed is a fan-out back-to-back chip stacked package, comprising a back-to-back stack of a first chip and a second chip, an encapsulant, a plurality of vias disposed in the encapsulant, a first redistribution layer and a second redistribution layer. The encapsulant encapsulates the sides of the first chip and the sides of the second chip simultaneously and has a thickness not greater than the chip stacked height to expose a first active surface of the first chip and a second active surface of the second chip. The encapsulant has a first peripheral surface expanding from the first active surface and a second peripheral surface expanding from the second active surface. The first redistribution layer is formed on the first active surface and extended onto the first peripheral surface to electrically connect the first chip to the vias in the encapsulant. The second RDL is formed on the second active surface and extended onto the second peripheral surface to electrically connect the second chip to the vias in the encapsulant. Accordingly, the structure realizes a thin package configuration of multi-chip back-to-back stacking to reduce package warpage.

An integrated circuit (IC) package with stacked die wire bond connections has two stacked IC dies, where a first die couples to a metallization structure directly and a second die stacked on top of the first die connects to the metallization structure through wire bond connections. The IC dies are coupled to one another through an interior metal layer of the metallization structure. Vias are used to couple to the interior metal layer.

The device also includes a second die attached to a first major surface of the second package substrate, over the first die, and an encapsulant surrounding the first die, the first package substrate, the second die, and the second package substrate, wherein the encapsulant exposes a portion of the first package substrate and a portion of the second package substrate.
