FIG. 2 is an illustrative integrated circuit (IC)package fabrication process 200 for an illustrative IC package (e.g.,IC package 102 ofFIG. 1 ) in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure.FIGS. 3-4 provide cross-section views of selected operations illustrating stages in ICpackage fabrication process 200, in accordance with an illustrative embodiment. As a result,FIGS. 2-4 will be described in conjunction with one another. To aid in this description, the operations performed inFIG. 2 are referenced on the arrows moving from operation to operation inFIGS. 3 and 4 . In addition, not all reference numbers are depicted in each operation depicted inFIGS. 3 and 4 in an effort to not overly complicate these figures. -
IC fabrication process 200 may begin atblock 202, where an active side of afirst die 302 may be coupled withcarrier 306. This may be accomplished through the use of tape or an adhesive (e.g., adhesive 308) disposed oncarrier 306. As depicted, the active side ofdie 302 may have a plurality of die-level interconnect structures (e.g., die level interconnect structure 304) disposed therein. In some embodiments, a plurality of electrical routing features 312 a-312 d, hereinafter collectively referred to as electrical routing features 312, may also be coupled withcarrier 306. In such embodiments, the plurality of electrical routing features may be, as depicted, via bars, made of vias formed in electricallyinsulative material first encapsulation layer 316, discussed below in reference to block 204. Electrical routing features may include any electrically conductive material (e.g., copper). - At
block 204, a encapsulation material may be deposited to form afirst encapsulation layer 316. In some embodiments, such an encapsulation material may be a mold compound (e.g., an epoxy resin). In such embodiments,first encapsulation layer 316 may be formed, for example, through a compression molding process. As depicted,first encapsulation layer 316 may encapsulate at least a portion offirst die 302 and electrical routing features 312. - In some embodiments,
first encapsulation layer 316 may also encapsulate bond pads 314 a-d. In such embodiments, atblock 206, any encapsulation material that may have formed over bond pads 314 a-d may be removed resulting in voids 318 a-d. This may be accomplished by drilling (e.g., laser drilling), grinding, etching, etc. In embodiments that utilize laser drilling, the laser drilling may degrade or destroy a wire-bondable surface finish applied to bond pads 314 a-d. In such embodiments, a surface finish (e.g., nickel, gold, or any other suitable surface finish) may be applied after the laser drilling. Such a surface finish may be applied, for example, through an electroless plating process. - At
block 208,carrier 306 may be decoupled fromfirst encapsulation layer 316. In some embodiments, the above discussed procedures may be performed separately from the procedures described hereinafter. In such embodiments, the procedure may begin by providing an IC package assembly similar to that produced through the process described above. In such embodiments, a passivation layer may be deposited on the IC package assembly to prevent oxidation or contamination of any exposed metal features, such as bond pads 314 a-h and the plurality of die-level interconnects offirst die 302. Such a passivation layer may be laminated, printed, or spin-coated, for example. Where such a passivation layer has been applied, voids may be formed in the passivation layer (e.g., through a photolithography process) for the below described procedures - At
block 210, adielectric layer 320 may be formed. Such a dielectric layer may be, in some embodiments, the passivation layer discussed above in reference to block 208. In addition a redistribution layer (RDL) 322 may be formed ondielectric layer 320.RDL 320 may provide for signal breakout from the die-level interconnects (e.g., die level interconnect 304) and electrical routing features 312. While depicted herein as a single RDL, it will be appreciated that additional RDLs, and corresponding dielectric layers, may be formed depending on the application and design that the resulting IC package may need to meet. Atblock 212, moving on toFIG. 4 , asolder stop layer 324 may be formed and patterned. Such a solder stop layer may be formed, for example, through a photolithography process. - At
block 214, a backside of asecond die 326 may be coupled with a second side offirst encapsulation layer 316 opposite theRDL 322, as can be seen. This may be accomplished, for example, through the use of tape or an adhesive (e.g. adhesive 328). In embodiments,second die 326 may have a plurality of die-level interconnects 330 a-330 d disposed thereon. As used herein a backside of a die is a side of the die that does not have die-level interconnects disposed therein. - At
block 216, die-level interconnects 330 a-330 d ofsecond die 326 may be wire-bonded via wires 332 a-332 d, respectively, with electrical routing features 312. Electrical routing features 312 may route electrical signals betweensecond die 326 and the RDL. Wires 332 a-d may include any suitable material, including, but not limited to, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, etc., and may also be multi-layer wires (e. g. coated). Such a wire bond may be formed through any conventional wire-bonding process. In some embodiments, one or more additional dies may be stacked on top ofsecond die 326. In such embodiments, a spacer may be placed between each die and a previous die to allow for escape of wires (e.g., wires 332 a-d). Such an embodiment is discussed in further detail in reference toFIG. 7 , below. Atblock 218, additional encapsulation material may be deposited oversecond die 326 and wires 332 a-d to form asecond encapsulation layer 334 and to protect the wire-bonding configuration.FIGS. 5-7 depict various embodiments of IC packages that may be formed from the above described procedures. -
FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a cross-section side view of an example integrated circuit (IC)package 500 having package-level interconnect structures, in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure. As depicted,FIG. 5 may take as its starting point, the IC package assembly manufactured through the process described above in reference toFIGS. 2-4 . InFIG. 5 , however, package-level interconnects (e.g., solder ball 502) may be disposed on the RDL. While depicted herein as solder balls, package-level interconnect structures may include pillars, or other suitable structures in place of, or in addition to, solder balls. These package-level interconnect structures may be configured to electricallycouple IC package 500 with a circuit board (e.g.,circuit board 116 ofFIG. 1 ). -

As depicted,FIG. 6 may take as its starting point the IC package assembly manufactured through the process described above in reference toFIGS. 2-4 . InFIG. 6 , however, package-level interconnects (e.g., solder ball 606) have been disposed on the RDL. In addition athird die 602 has been coupled with the IC package assembly byinterconnect structures 604. While depicted herein as solder balls, package-level interconnect structures may include pillars, or other suitable structures in place of, or in addition to, solder balls. These package-level interconnects may be configured to electricallycouple IC package 600 and a circuit board (e.g.,circuit board 116 ofFIG. 1 ). As can be seen, the combined thickness of thethird die 602 andinterconnect structures 604 is less than a thickness of the individual package-level interconnect structures. This may enable third die 602 to be located in the same plane as the plurality of package-level interconnect structures. -
FIG. 7 schematically illustrates a cross-section side view of an example integrated circuit (IC)package 700 having anadditional die 702 stacked on top ofdie 326.

In some embodiments, the plurality of electrical routing features may, as depicted, be via bars formed in electricallyinsulative material -
IC package 700 may also include a redistribution layer (RDL) 722. The RDL may be disposed on adielectric layer 720 and may provide for signal breakout from the die-level interconnects (e.g., die level interconnect 704) and the plurality of electrical routing features (e.g., electrical routing feature 712). While depicted herein as a single RDL, it will be appreciated that additional RDLs, and corresponding dielectric layers, may be formed depending on the application and design that the resulting IC package may need to meet. Asolder stop layer 724 may be disposed on the RDL and a plurality of package-level interconnects (e.g., package-level interconnect 744) may be disposed in openings ofsolder stop layer 724. -
IC package 700 may also include asecond die 726 that may be coupled with a side offirst encapsulation layer 716. This may be accomplished, for example, through the use of tape or an adhesive (e.g. adhesive 728). In embodiments,second die 726 may have a plurality of die-level interconnects (e.g., die-level interconnect 730) disposed thereon. The die-level interconnects ofsecond die 726 may be wire-bonded, as depicted, via wires 732 a-732 d, with a first subset of the electrical routing features via a corresponding subset of the plurality of bond pads. The electrical routing features may route electrical signals betweensecond die 726 andRDL 722. Wires 732 a-d may include any suitable material, including, but not limited to, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, etc. Such a wire bond may be formed through any conventional wire-bonding process. In some embodiments, one or more additional dies (e.g., third die 736) may be stacked on top ofsecond die 726. In such embodiments, a spacer (e.g., spacer 740) may be placed between adjacent dies to allow for escape of wires (e.g., wires 732 a-d) from the die below. In embodiments,third die 726 may have a plurality of die-level interconnects (e.g., die-level interconnect 742) disposed thereon. The die-level interconnects ofsecond die 726 may be wire-bonded, as depicted, via wires 738 a-738 d with a second subset of the electrical routing features via a corresponding second subset of the plurality of bond pads. Second die 726,third die 736 and wires 732 a-d and 738 a-d may all be embedded in asecond encapsulation layer 734. In some embodiments, a fourth die may be coupled withRDL 722 in a similar configuration to that ofdie 602 ofFIG. 6 . - Embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented into a system using any suitable hardware and/or software to configure as desired.
