- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having a thin profile and optimized electrical signal paths to provide enhanced electrical performance.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- The variety of electronic devices utilizing semiconductor devices or packages has grown dramatically in recent years. These electronic devices include cellular phones, portable computers, etc. Each of these electronic devices typically includes a printed circuit board on which a significant number of such semiconductor devices or packages are secured to provide multiple electronic functions. These electronic devices are typically manufactured in reduced sizes and at reduced costs, which results in increased consumer demand. However, even though many semiconductor devices have been miniaturized, space on a printed circuit board remains limited and precious. Thus, there is a continuing need to develop semiconductor device designs (e.g., semiconductor devices which are of increasingly reduced thickness) to maximize the number of semiconductor devices that may be integrated into an electronic device, yet minimize the space needed to accommodate these semiconductor devices. The need also exists for new semiconductor device designs to possess increased functionality, despite the smaller size of slimmer/thinner profiles thereof.
- One method to minimize the space needed to accommodate semiconductor devices is to stack plural semiconductor dies in a single semiconductor device which is itself fabricated to be of a reduced size. However, semiconductor devices including stacked plural semiconductor dies are typically connected to an external circuit board through the use of solder balls or lands disposed solely on a lower external surface thereof. In this regard, when the size of the semiconductor device itself is reduced, the available space for input/output terminals (e.g., lands) is restricted. As a result, when the size of the semiconductor device is reduced, it is often difficult to realize various functions thereof due the insufficient availability of input/output terminals. Stated another way, when plural semiconductor dies are stacked in a single semiconductor device, the need arises for an increased number of input/output terminals for inputting/outputting electrical signals to each semiconductor die, though the smaller size of the semiconductor device creates limits in the available space for increasing the number of input/output terminals. Thus, the problem that arises is that is often difficult to form the input/output terminals when the size of the semiconductor device is reduced. When the input/output terminals are formed using solder balls, this particular problem becomes even more severe due to the volume of solder balls.
- In an effort to address the aforementioned problems, there has been developed POP (package on package) technology to stack a semiconductor device on another semiconductor device, and PIP (package in package) technology to install a semiconductor device in another semiconductor device. A typical PIP semiconductor device comprises various combinations of electronic components including passive devices, semiconductor dies, semiconductor packages, and/or other elements which are arranged in a horizontal direction, or stacked in a vertical direction on an underlying substrate. In many PIP devices, the substrate and the electronic components are interconnected to one another through the use of conductive wires alone or in combination with conductive bumps, with such electronic components thereafter being encapsulated by a suitable encapsulant material which hardens into a package body of the PIP device. However, the drawbacks of both POP and PIP technology is that it is difficult to secure and stack the input/output terminals through the use of either technology as a result of the input/output terminals of the semiconductor device typically being formed only on one surface (e.g., the lower surface) thereof. The present invention addresses these and other shortcomings of prior art POP and PIP devices, as will be described in more detail below.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided multiple embodiments of a semiconductor device. In each embodiment, the semiconductor device comprises a substrate having a conductive pattern formed thereon. In addition to the substrate, each embodiment of the semiconductor device includes at least one semiconductor die which is electrically connected to the substrate, both the semiconductor die and the substrate being at least partially covered by a package body of the semiconductor device. In certain embodiments of the semiconductor device, through-mold vias are formed in the package body to provide electrical signal paths from an exterior surface thereof to the conductive pattern of the substrate. In other embodiments, through mold vias are also included in the package body to provide electrical signal paths between the semiconductor die and an exterior surface of the package body. Other embodiments of the semiconductor device comprise one or more interposers which are electrically connected to the through-mold vias, and may be covered by the package body and/or disposed in spaced relation thereto. In yet other embodiments of the semiconductor device, the interposer may not be electrically connected to the through mold vias, but may have one or more semiconductor dies of the semiconductor device electrically connected thereto.

- Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating various embodiments of the present invention and not for purposes of limiting the same,
FIG. 1 depicts in cross-section asemiconductor device 100 constructed in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. Thesemiconductor device 100 comprises asubstrate 110 which preferably has a generally quadrangular configuration. Thesubstrate 110 can be selected from common circuit boards (e.g., rigid circuit boards and flexible circuit boards) and equivalents thereof. In this regard, the present invention is not intended to be limited to any particular type ofsubstrate 110. By way of example and not by way of limitation, thesubstrate 110 may include aninsulating layer 114 having opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces. Disposed on the top surface is an electricallyconductive pattern 112, while disposed on the bottom surface areconductive lands 113. Theconductive pattern 112 andlands 113 are electrically interconnected to each other in a prescribed pattern or arrangement through the use ofconductive vias 111 which extend through theinsulation layer 114 in a direction generally perpendicularly between the top and bottom surfaces thereof. Asolder mask 115 is preferably coated on at least portions of thelands 113 and the bottom surface of the insulatinglayer 114. Thesolder mask 115 is used to protect portions of thelands 113 which would otherwise be exposed to the ambient environment. - The
semiconductor device 100 further comprises asemiconductor die 120 which is electrically connected to thesubstrate 110, and in particular to theconductive pattern 112 thereof. The semiconductor die 120 defines opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces, and includes a plurality of terminals orbond pads 121 disposed on the top surface thereof. InFIG. 1 , each of thebond pads 121 is depicted as projecting upwardly from the generally planar top surface of the semiconductor die 120. However, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that each of thebond pads 121 may be partially embedded within thesemiconductor 120 so as to extend in substantially flush relation to the top surface thereof. The semiconductor die 120 further includes a plurality of throughelectrodes 122 formed therein and passing between the top and bottom surfaces thereof. As seen inFIG. 1 , one end (the top end as viewed from the perspective shown inFIG. 1 ) of eachelectrode 122 is electrically coupled to a respective one of thebond pads 121, with the remaining end (the bottom end as viewed from the perspective shown inFIG. 1 ) extending to the bottom surface of the semiconductor die 120. - As further seen in
FIG. 1 , each of theelectrodes 122 is electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110 through the use of respective ones of a plurality ofconductive bumps 130. Examples of suitable material for theconductive bumps 130 include, but are not limited to, gold, silver, copper, soldering materials or equivalents thereto. As will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art, theconductive bumps 130, which are formed between the semiconductor die 120 and thesubstrate 110, effectively transmit electrical signals between the semiconductor die 120 and thesubstrate 110. Though not shown, it is contemplated that an underfill material may be disposed between the bottom surface of the semiconductor die 120 and the top surface of the insulatinglayer 114, the underfill material also covering portions of theconductive pattern 112 and theconductive bumps 130. The underfill material, if included, would serve to protect the semiconductor die 120 by absorbing stress according to differences between the thermal expansion coefficients of thesubstrate 110 and the semiconductor die 120. It is contemplated that the semiconductor die 120 may comprise a circuit that includes transistors, resistors and capacitors integrated on a silicon substrate. - The
semiconductor device 100 further comprises a plurality ofsolder balls 160 which are electrically connected to the respective ones of thelands 113 of thesubstrate 110 in a prescribed pattern or arrangement. As seen inFIG. 1 , thesolder mask 115 extends into contact with thesolder balls 160. Examples of suitable materials for thesolder balls 160 include, but are not limited to, eutectic solders (e.g., Sn37Pb), high-lead solders (e.g., Sn95Pb) having a high melting point, lead-free solders (e.g., SnAg, SnCu, SnZn, SnZnBi, SnAgCu and SnAgBi), or equivalents thereto. As will be recognized, thesolder balls 160 are used to electrically couple thesubstrate 110, and hence the semiconductor die 120, to an external circuit. - In the
semiconductor device 100, at least portions of the semiconductor die 120, theconductive bumps 130, the top surface of the insulatinglayer 114, and theconductive pattern 112 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into apackage body 140 of thesemiconductor device 100. The present invention is not intended to be limited to any specific material which could be used to facilitate the fabrication of thepackage body 140. For example, and not by way of limitation, thepackage body 140 can be formed from epoxy molding compounds or equivalents thereto. The fully formedpackage body 140 preferably includes a generally planar top surface, and generally planar side surfaces which extend in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. - In the
semiconductor device 100, thepackage body 140 includes a plurality of through-mold vias 150 formed therein. Each through-mold via (TMV) 150 extends from the top surface of thepackage body 140 to a respective one of thebond pads 121 disposed on the top surface of the semiconductor die 120. EachTMV 150 is preferably formed by creating a hole in thepackage body 140 using a laser or an etching solution, and filling such hole with a conductive material selected from copper, aluminum, gold, silver, tin, lead, bismuth, soldering materials or equivalents thereto. In this regard, it is contemplated that the fabrication of eachTMV 150 may be facilitated by the completion of a reflow process subsequent to placing a ball fabricated from one of the aforementioned materials on top of the hole formed in thepackage body 140 through the use of one of the aforementioned processes. - As seen in
FIG. 1 , eachTMV 150 has a generally conical configuration. More particularly, eachTMV 150 is of a first diameter at a respective one of thebond pads 121, and a second diameter at the top surface of thepackage body 140, the second diameter exceeding the first diameter. As such, eachTMV 150 defines a continuous side wall which is inclined at a predetermined angle relative to the top surface of thepackage body 140. As will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art, eachTMV 150 creates an electrically conductive path from the semiconductor die 120 to the top surface of thepackage body 140, whereas theconductive bumps 130,substrate 110 andsolder balls 160 collectively define an electrically conductive path which extends from the semiconductor die 120 in an opposite direction, such as toward an underlying substrate to which thesemiconductor device 110 may ultimately be electrically connected through the use of thesolder balls 160. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that eachTMV 150 may have a shape or configuration differing from that shown inFIG. 1 without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. - Due to the inclusion of the TMV's 150 therein, the
semiconductor device 100 is particularly suited for having another semiconductor device stacked thereon and electrically connected thereto. In this regard, the lands or solder balls of a second semiconductor device can be electrically coupled to respective ones of the TMV's 150 exposed in the top surface of thepackage body 140. Along these lines, it is contemplated that the end of eachTMV 150 extending to the top surface of thepackage body 140 have a generally concave configuration to partially accommodate the solder balls of a conventional BGA (Ball Grid Array) semiconductor device which may be stacked upon thesemiconductor device 100, thus reducing the overall height or profile of the stack. Another semiconductor device suitable for stacking upon thesemiconductor device 100 is an LGA (Land Grid Array) device, the stack comprising thesemiconductor device 100 and the LGA device also being of comparatively reduced thickness due to the use of the TMV's 150 to facilitate the electrical interconnection therebetween. - Referring now to
FIG. 10 , there is provided a flow chart which sets forth an exemplary method for fabricating thesemiconductor device 100 of the present invention shown inFIG. 1 . The method comprises the steps of preparing the substrate (S1), preparing the semiconductor die (S2), forming conductive bumps on the semiconductor die (S3), attaching and electrically connecting the semiconductor die to the substrate (S4), encapsulation to form a package body (S5), forming TMV's in the package body (S6), and the connection of solder balls to the substrate (S7).FIGS. 11A-11H provide illustrations corresponding to these particular steps, as will be discussed in more detail below. - Referring now to
FIG. 11A , in the initial step S1 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 100, thesubstrate 110 having the above-described structural attributes is provided. As indicated above, asolder mask 115 may be coated on at least portions of thelands 113 and the bottom surface of the insulatinglayer 114. - In the next step S2 of the fabrication process for the
semiconductor device 100, the semiconductor die 120 is prepared. More particularly, as shown inFIG. 11B , the semiconductor die 120 is formed to include theaforementioned bond pads 121 on the top surface thereof, and the through-electrodes 122 which pass through the semiconductor die 120 between the top and bottom surfaces thereof, theelectrodes 122 being electrically coupled to respective ones of thebond pads 121 as indicated above. Thereafter, as illustrated inFIG. 11C , step S3 is completed wherein theconductive bumps 130 are electrically connected to those ends of the throughelectrodes 122 opposite those ends electrically coupled to thebond pads 121. Thus, theelectrodes 122 effectively electrically couple thebond pads 121 to respective ones of theconductive bumps 130. - Referring now to
FIG. 11D , in the next step S4 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 100, the semiconductor die 120 is electrically connected to thesubstrate 110. More particularly, theconductive bumps 130 electrically connected to the semiconductor die 120 as described above in relation to step S3 are each electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. As also indicated above, an underfill material may be interposed between the semiconductor die 120 and thesubstrate 110, such underfill material thus covering or encapsulating at least portions of theconductive bumps 130. - Referring now to
FIG. 11E , in the next step S5 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 100, at least portions of the semiconductor die 120, theconductive bumps 130, theconductive pattern 112 and the top surface of the insulatinglayer 114 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into thepackage body 140 of thesemiconductor device 100. As indicated above, the fully formedpackage body 140 preferably includes a generally planar top surface, and generally planar side surfaces which extend in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. The encapsulation step S5 can be carried out by transfer molding using a mold or dispensing molding using a dispenser. - In the next step S6 of the fabrication process for the
semiconductor device 100, the TMV's 150 are formed in thepackage body 140. More particularly, the formation of the TMV's 150 comprises the initial step of forming vias or holes 140 a in thepackage body 140 as shown inFIG. 11F . Each of theholes 140 a extends from the top surface of thepackage body 140 to a respective one of thebond pads 121. As indicated above, theholes 140 a may be formed through the use of a laser drilling or chemical etching process. After being formed in thepackage body 140 in the aforementioned manner, each of theholes 140 a is filled with a conductive metal material as shown inFIG. 11G , thus completing the formation of the TMV's 150. As also indicated above, the filling of eachhole 140 a with the metal material may be accomplished through the completion of a reflow process subsequent to the placement of a ball fabricated from a suitable conductive metal material upon that end of eachhole 140 extending to the top surface of thepackage body 140. - Referring now to
FIG. 11H , in the next step S7 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 100, thesolder balls 160 are electrically connected to respective ones of thelands 113 of thesubstrate 110. As seen inFIG. 11H , thesolder mask 115 may extend into contact with thesolder balls 160. Thesolder balls 160 may be fabricated from the materials described above in relation thereto. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , there is shown asemiconductor device 200 constructed in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. Thesemiconductor device 200 is substantially similar to the above-describedsemiconductor device 100, with only the differences between thesemiconductor devices - The sole distinction between the
semiconductor devices package body 140 of thesemiconductor device 200. As seen inFIG. 2 , each of the TMV's 250 extends from the top surface of thepackage body 140 to a corresponding portion of theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. EachTMV 250 is preferably fabricated using the same process described above in relation to eachTMV 150. Advantageously, in thesemiconductor device 200, the inclusion of the TMV's 250 increases the available number of input/output terminals of thesemiconductor device 200 in comparison to thesemiconductor device 100. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , there is shown asemiconductor device 300 constructed in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. Thesemiconductor device 300 comprises the above-describedsubstrate 110. In addition to thesubstrate 110, thesemiconductor device 300 comprises a first (upper) semiconductor die 320 which is attached to the top surface of the insulatinglayer 114 of the substrate 110 (as viewed from the perspective shown inFIG. 3 ) through the use of anadhesive layer 323. The first semiconductor die 320 defines opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces, and includes a plurality of terminals orbond pads 321 disposed on the top surface thereof. In this regard, the bottom surface of the first semiconductor die 320 is that surface which is attached to thesubstrate 110 through the use of theadhesive layer 323. In thesemiconductor device 300, thebond pads 321 of the first semiconductor die 320 are electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110 through the use of a plurality ofconductive wires 330. Eachconductive wire 330 may be formed by the completion of a normal wire bonding method, that is, by forming a ball bond at thecorresponding bond pad 321 of the first semiconductor die 320, and then forming a stitch bonding region at a prescribed portion of theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. Alternatively, eachconductive wire 330 may be formed by a reverse loop wire bonding method, that is, by forming a ball bond at thecorresponding bond pad 321 and corresponding portion of theconductive pattern 112, and then connecting such ball bonds to each other. - In addition to the first semiconductor die 320, the
semiconductor device 300 includes a second (lower) semiconductor die 325 which is also electrically connected to thesubstrate 110, and in particular thelands 113 thereof. Like the first semiconductor die 320, the second semiconductor die 325 defines opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces, and includes a plurality ofbond pads 326 on that surface which defines the top surface as viewed from the perspective shown inFIG. 3 . In this regard, each of thebond pads 326 of the second semiconductor die 325 is electrically connected to a respective one of thelands 113 through the use of respective ones of a plurality ofconductive bumps 331. Theconductive bumps 331 are each preferably fabricated from the same material described above in relation to theconductive bumps 130 of thesemiconductor device 100. - In the
semiconductor device 300, at least portions of the first and second semiconductor dies 320, 325, theconductive wires 330, theconductive bumps 331, the top and bottom surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114, theconductive pattern 112, and thelands 113 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into apackage body 340 of thesemiconductor device 300. Thepackage body 340 may be fabricated from the same material described above in relation to thepackage body 140 of thesemiconductor device 100. As seen inFIG. 3 , the fully formedpackage body 340 preferably includes a generally planar top surface when viewed from the perspective shown inFIG. 3 , a generally planar bottom surface when viewed from the same perspective, and generally planar side surfaces which extend generally perpendicularly between the top and bottom surfaces in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. - In the
semiconductor device 300, thepackage body 340 includes a plurality of through-mold vias (TMV's) 350 disposed therein. As seen inFIG. 3 , certain ones of the TMV's 350 extend from the top surface of thepackage body 340 to a corresponding portion of theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. The remaining TMV's 350 extend from the bottom surface of thepackage body 340 to respective ones of thelands 113 of thesubstrate 110. EachTMV 350 is identically configured to the above-described TMV's 250 of thesemiconductor device 200, and is preferably fabricated using the same process described above in relation to eachTMV 150 of thesemiconductor device 100. Along these lines, it is contemplated that the end of eachTMV 350 extending to the top surface and/or the bottom surface of thepackage body 340 may have a generally concave configuration to partially accommodate solder balls of a conventional BGA semiconductor device which may be stacked on the top surface and/or the bottom surface of thesemiconductor device 300. In this regard, the inclusion of the TMV's 350 in thesemiconductor device 300 makes thesemiconductor device 300 particularly suited for having one or more additional semiconductor devices stacked on the top and/or bottom surfaces thereof. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , there is shown a semiconductor device 400 constructed in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor device 400 comprises the above-describedsubstrate 110. Additionally, in the semiconductor device 400, the above-describedsolder balls 160 are formed on and electrically connected to respective ones of thelands 113 of thesubstrate 110. Further, the above-describedsolder mask 115 is preferably applied to the bottom surface of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110, thesolder mask 115 being coated on at least portions of thelands 113 and extending into contact with portions of each of thesolder balls 160. - In addition to the
substrate 110, the semiconductor device 400 comprises a first (lower) semiconductor die 320 which is electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. More particularly, the first semiconductor die 420 defines opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces, and includes a plurality of terminals orbond pads 421 disposed on the bottom surface thereof. Each of thebond pads 421 is electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 through the use of a respective one of a plurality ofconductive bumps 430. Theconductive bumps 430 are each preferably fabricated from the same material described above in relation to theconductive bumps 130 of thesemiconductor device 100. - The semiconductor device 400 further comprises an
interposer 423 which is attached to the top surface of the first semiconductor die 420 through the use of anadhesive layer 415. Theinterposer 423 includes an interposer body 424 having a firstconductive pattern 423 a formed within the top surface thereof, a secondconductive pattern 423 b formed therein, and a third conductive pattern 423 c which is also formed therein and electrically connects the first and secondconductive patterns conductive pattern 423 a is secured to the top surface of the first semiconductor die 420 through the use of the aforementioned adhesive layer 413. As seen inFIG. 4 , the first and secondconductive patterns interposer 423 so as to extend along respective ones of a spaced, generally parallel pair of planes. On the other hand, the third conductive pattern 423 c is formed in a direction which extends generally perpendicularly between the planes along which respective ones of the first andsecond patterns - The semiconductor device 400 further comprises a second (upper) semiconductor die 425 which is electrically connected to the
interposer 423, and in particular to the firstconductive pattern 423 a formed on the body 424 thereof. Like the first semiconductor die 420, the second semiconductor die 425 defines opposed, generally planar top and bottom surfaces. Disposed on the bottom surface of the first semiconductor die 425 is a plurality of conductive terminals orbond pads 426. Thebond pads 426 are each electrically connected to the firstconductive pattern 423 a through the use of respective ones of a plurality ofconductive bumps 431 which are each preferably fabricated from the same material used in relation to theconductive bumps 430. As seen inFIG. 4 , the second and thirdconductive patterns 423 b, 423 c of theinterposer 423 are configured to effectively route signals between a portion of the firstconductive pattern 423 a to which the second semiconductor die 425 is electrically connected to another portion of the firstconductive pattern 423 a which is located outwardly beyond the lateral side surfaces of the second semiconductor die 425. In this regard, when theinterposer 423 is captured between the first and second semiconductor dies 420, 425 in the manner shown inFIG. 4 , a peripheral portion of theinterposer 423 protrudes beyond the lateral side surfaces of each of the first and second semiconductor dies 420, 425. Additionally, a portion of the firstconductive pattern 423 a is exposed in the body 424 of such peripheral portion of theinterposer 423. - In the semiconductor device 400, the interposer 423 (and hence the second semiconductor die 425) is electrically connected to the
conductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110 through the use of one or more electricallyconductive wires 432. More particularly, one end of eachconductive wire 432 extends and is electrically connected to a portion of the firstconductive pattern 423 a which is exposed in the peripheral portion of thesubstrate 423, and in particular the body 424 thereof. The remaining, opposite end of theconductive wire 432 is electrically connected to a prescribed portion of theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. Thus, the second semiconductor die 425 is capable of receiving electrical signals from and outputting electrical signals to an external circuit via theinterposer 423, conductive wire(s) 432, andsubstrate 110. - In the semiconductor device 400, at least portions of the first and second semiconductor dies 420, 425, the
conductive bumps interposer 423, theconductive wires 432, the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110, and theconductive pattern 112 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into apackage body 440 of thesemiconductor device 100. Thepackage body 440 may be fabricated from the same materials described above in relation to thepackage body 140 of thesemiconductor device 100. The fully formedpackage body 440 preferably includes a generally planar top surface, and generally planar side surfaces which extend in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. - In the semiconductor device 400, the

Additionally, in thesemiconductor device 500, the above-describedsolder balls 160 are formed on and electrically connected to respective ones of thelands 113 of thesubstrate 110. Further, the above-describedsolder mask 115 is preferably applied to the bottom surface of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110, thesolder mask 115 being coated on at least portions of thelands 113 and extending into contact with portions of each of thesolder balls 160. Thesemiconductor device 500 also includes a first semiconductor die 120 which is identical to the above-describedsemiconductor 120 of thesemiconductor device 100, and is electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110 through the use of theconductive bumps 130 in the same manner described above in relation to thesemiconductor device 100. In addition to the first semiconductor die 120, also electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110 is a plurality of conductive balls 551. As seen inFIG. 5 , the conductive balls 551 are electrically connected to a peripheral portion of theconductive pattern 112. Each of the conductive balls 551 is preferably fabricated from a conductive material selected from copper, aluminum, gold, silver, tin, lead, bismuth, soldering materials or equivalents thereto. - The
semiconductor device 500 further comprises aninterposer 523 which is disposed on the top surface of the first semiconductor die 420 and electrically connected to the first semiconductor die 120. Theinterposer 523 includes an interposer body 524 having a firstconductive pattern 523 a formed within the top surface thereof, a secondconductive pattern 523 b formed therein, and a thirdconductive pattern 523 c which is also formed therein and electrically connects the first and secondconductive patterns FIG. 5 , the first and secondconductive patterns interposer 523 so as to extend along respective ones of a spaced, generally parallel pair of planes. On the other hand, the thirdconductive pattern 523 c is formed in a direction which extends generally perpendicularly between the planes along which respective ones of the first and secondconductive patterns semiconductor device 500, the secondconductive pattern 523 b of theinterposer 523 is electrically connected to thebond pads 121 of the first semiconductor die 121. As is also seen inFIG. 5 , theinterposer 523 is sized relative to the first semiconductor die 120 such that the side surfaces of the body 524 extend in substantially co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the first semiconductor die 120. - The
semiconductor device 500 further comprises the second (upper) semiconductor die 425 described above in relation to the semiconductor device 400. In this regard, the second semiconductor die 425 is electrically connected to theinterposer 523, and in particular to the firstconductive pattern 523 a formed on the body 524 thereof. Thebond pads 426 of the second semiconductor die 425 are each electrically connected to the firstconductive pattern 523 a through the use of respective ones of the aforementionedconductive bumps 431. As seen inFIG. 5 , the side surfaces of the body 524 of theinterposer 523 also extend in substantially co-planar to respective side surfaces of the second semiconductor die 425. Thus, when theinterposer 523 is captured between the first and second semiconductor dies 120, 425 in the manner shown inFIG. 5 , the side surfaces of the body 524 of theinterposer 523 extend in generally co-planar relation to respective ones of the lateral side surfaces of each of the first and second semiconductor dies 120, 425. - In the
semiconductor device 500, at least portions of the first and second semiconductor dies 120, 425, theconductive bumps interposer 523, the conductive balls 551, the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110, and theconductive pattern 112 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into apackage body 540 of thesemiconductor device 500. Thepackage body 540 may be fabricated from the same materials described above in relation to thepackage body 140 of thesemiconductor device 100. The fully formedpackage body 540 preferably includes a generally planar top surface, and generally planar side surfaces which extend in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. - In the
semiconductor device 500, thepackage body 140 preferably includes a plurality of through-mold vias (TMV's) 550 formed therein. Each TMV 550 includes a first region which is defined by a respective one of the conductive balls 551 electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. In addition to the first region, each TMV 550 includes asecond region 552 which extends from the top surface of thepackage body 140 to a respective one of the conductive balls 551. Thesecond region 552 of each TMV 550 is identically configured to the above-described TMV's 250, 350, 450, and is preferably fabricated using the same process described above in relation to eachTMV 150. In this regard, thesecond region 552 of each TMV 550 is defined by a metal-filled hole which is formed in thepackage body 540 to extend from the top surface thereof to a corresponding conductive ball 551 (i.e., the first region of the same TMV 550). Thus, each TMV 550 (comprising thesecond region 552 and the first region or conductive ball 551) extends from the top surface of thepackage body 540 to (and in electrical communication with) theconductive pattern 112. Since thesecond regions 552 of the TMV's 550 extend to respective ones of the conductive balls 551 rather than to theconductive pattern 112, eachsecond region 552 is of a shorter height in comparison to the TMV's 450 included in the semiconductor device 400, though being fabricated in the same manner as indicated above. Due to the shortened height of height of thesecond regions 552 of the TMV's 550, including the holes used to form the same, potential adverse effects on the first and second semiconductor dies 120, 425 attributable to the formation of the holes is reduced, thus improving the reliability of thesemiconductor device 500. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , there is shown asemiconductor device 600 constructed in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the present invention. Thesemiconductor device 600 comprises the above-describedsubstrate 110. Additionally, in thesemiconductor device 600, the above-describedsolder balls 160 are formed on and electrically connected to respective ones of thelands 113 of thesubstrate 110. Further, the above-describedsolder mask 115 is preferably applied to the bottom surface of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110, thesolder mask 115 being coated on at least portions of thelands 113 and extending into contact with portions of each of thesolder balls 160. Thesemiconductor device 600 also includes asemiconductor die 420 which is identical to the above-describedsemiconductor 420 of the semiconductor device 400, and is electrically connected to theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110 through the use of theconductive bumps 430 in the same manner described above in relation to the semiconductor device 400. - In the
semiconductor device 600, at least portions of the semiconductor die 420, theconductive bumps 430, the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110, and theconductive pattern 112 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into apackage body 640 of thesemiconductor device 600. Thepackage body 640 may be fabricated from the same materials described above in relation to thepackage body 140 of thesemiconductor device 100. The fully formedpackage body 640 preferably includes a generally planar top surface, and generally planar side surfaces which extend in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. The generally planar top surface of the semiconductor die 420 is preferably exposed in and substantially flush with the top surface of thepackage body 640. - In the
semiconductor device 600, thepackage body 640 preferably includes a plurality of through-mold vias (TMV's) 650 formed therein. EachTMV 650 preferably comprises a conductive ball which is electrically connected to a peripheral portion of theconductive pattern 112. The conductive balls used to define the TMV's 650 are preferably fabricated from a conductive material selected from copper, aluminum, gold, silver, tin, lead, bismuth, soldering materials or equivalents thereto. Importantly, in thesemiconductor device 600, thepackage body 640 is formed in a manner wherein portions of the conductive balls used to form the TMV's 650 protrude from the top surface of thepackage body 640 in the manner shown inFIG. 6 . Thus, the height of eachTMV 650 slightly exceeds the height or thickness of thepackage body 640. It is also contemplated that thepackage body 640 may be fabricated by attaching a mold film to thesubstrate 110, such mold film partially covering the semiconductor die 420 and TMV's 650 in the aforementioned manner. - The
semiconductor device 600 further comprises aninterposer 623 which is disposed on and electrically connected to the TMV's 650. Theinterposer 623 includes aninterposer body 624 having a first conductive pattern 623 a formed within the top surface thereof, a secondconductive pattern 623 b formed therein, and a third conductive pattern 623 c which is also formed therein and electrically connects the first and secondconductive patterns 623 a, 623 b to each other. As seen inFIG. 6 , the first and secondconductive patterns 623 a, 623 b are formed within thebody 624 of theinterposer 623 so as to extend along respective ones of a spaced, generally parallel pair of planes. On the other hand, the third conductive pattern 623 c is formed in a direction which extends generally perpendicularly between the planes along which respective ones of the first and secondconductive patterns 623 a, 623 b extend. In thesemiconductor device 600, the secondconductive pattern 623 b of theinterposer 623 is electrically connected to the exposed portions of the TMV's 650 in the manner shown inFIG. 6 . Due to those portions of the TMV's 650 to which theinterposer 623 is electrically connected protruding above the top surface of thepackage body 640, a narrow space orgap 615 is defined between the top surface of the package body 640 (as well as the top surface of the semiconductor die 420) and the interposer 623 (i.e., the bottom surface of the body 624). The formation of thegap 615 between thepackage body 640 and theinterposer 623 enhances the ability of the semiconductor die 420 to dissipate heat outside of thesemiconductor device 600. - Advantageously, the inclusion of the
interposer 623 in thesemiconductor device 600 allows a wiring pattern of the TMV's 650 to be selectively redistributed using theinterposer 623. As is also seen inFIG. 6 , theinterposer 623 is sized relative to thepackage body 640 such that the side surfaces of thebody 624 extend in substantially co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of thepackage body 640. - Referring now to

semiconductor device 600, the semiconductor die 420 is prepared. More particularly, as shown inFIG. 13B , the semiconductor die 420 is formed to include theaforementioned bond pads 421 on the bottom surface thereof. As shown inFIG. 13B , thebond pads 421 are formed on the bottom surface of the semiconductor die 420 so as to protrude therefrom. In this regard, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that thebond pads 421 may alternatively be formed so as to be at least partially embedded in the semiconductor die 420 and to extend in substantially flush relation to the bottom surface thereof. Thereafter, as illustrated inFIG. 13C , step S3 is completed wherein theconductive bumps 430 are electrically connected to respective ones of thebond pads 121. - Referring now to
FIG. 13D , in the next step S4 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 600, the semiconductor die 420 is electrically connected to thesubstrate 110.

FIG. 13E , in the next step S5 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 600, the TMV's 650 are formed on thesubstrate 110. More particularly, as explained above, the formation of the TMV's 650 is facilitated by forming the aforementioned conductive balls on respective peripheral portions of theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110. Thus, the TMV's 650 extend at least partially about the periphery of the semiconductor die 420 in the manner shown inFIG. 13E . - Referring now to
FIG. 13F , in the next step S6 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 600, at least portions of the semiconductor die 420, theconductive bumps 430, the TMV's 650, theconductive pattern 112 and the top surface of the insulatinglayer 114 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into thepackage body 640 of thesemiconductor device 600. As indicated above, the fully formedpackage body 640 preferably includes a generally planar top surface, and generally planar side surfaces which extend in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. As also indicated above, thepackage body 640 is formed such that the top surface of the semiconductor die 420 extends in substantially flush relation to the top surface of the package body, with the TMV's 650 protruding slightly beyond the top surface of thepackage body 640. The encapsulation step S6 can be carried out by transfer molding using a mold, dispensing molding using a dispenser, or through the use of the aforementioned mold film. - In the next step S7 of the fabrication process for the
semiconductor device 600 shown inFIG. 13G , theinterposer 623 is electrically connected to the TMV's 650. More particularly, the secondconductive pattern 623 b of theinterposer 623 is electrically connected to the exposed portions of the TMV's 650 such that theaforementioned gap 615 is defined between the bottom surface of thebody 624 of theinterposer 623 and the top surface of thepackage body 640. - Referring now to
FIG. 13H , in the next step S8 of the fabrication process for thesemiconductor device 600, thesolder balls 160 are electrically connected to respective ones of thelands 113 of thesubstrate 110.

Thesolder balls 160 may be fabricated from the materials described above in relation thereto. - Referring now to

On the other hand, the thirdconductive pattern 723 c is formed in a direction which extends generally perpendicularly between the planes along which respective ones of the first and secondconductive patterns semiconductor device 700, the secondconductive pattern 723 b of thefirst interposer 723 is electrically connected to the conductive balls ultimately defining the TMV's 650 in the manner shown inFIG. 7 . Additionally, thefirst interposer 723, and in particular a central portion of the bottom surface of thebody 724 thereof, is attached to the top surface of the first semiconductor die through the use of anadhesive layer 415. - The
semiconductor device 700 also includes a second (upper) semiconductor die 425 which is identical to the above-described semiconductor 425 of the semiconductor device 400, and is electrically connected to a central portion of the firstconductive pattern 723 a of thefirst interposer 723 through the use of theconductive bumps 431 in the same manner described above in relation to electrical connection of the second semiconductor die 425 of the semiconductor device 400 to the firstconductive pattern 423 a of theinterposer 423 thereof. In thesemiconductor device 700, a plurality of conductive balls (which ultimately define upper through-mold vias or TMV's 750 as described below) are electrically connected to a peripheral portion of the firstconductive pattern 723 a of thefirst interposer 723. The conductive balls used to define the TMV's 750 are also preferably fabricated from a conductive material selected from copper, aluminum, gold, silver, tin, lead, bismuth, soldering materials or equivalents thereto. - In the
semiconductor device 700, at least portions of the first and second semiconductor dies 420, 425, thefirst interposer 723, theconductive bumps 430, the conductive balls ultimately defining the TMV's 650, 750, the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110, and theconductive pattern 112 are each encapsulated or covered by an encapsulant material which ultimately hardens into a package body 740 of thesemiconductor device 700. The package body 740 may be fabricated from the same materials described above in relation to thepackage body 140 of thesemiconductor device 100. The fully formed package body 740 preferably includes a generally planar top surface, and generally planar side surfaces which extend in generally flush or co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the insulatinglayer 114 of thesubstrate 110. The generally planar top surface of the second semiconductor die 425 is preferably exposed in and substantially flush with the top surface of the package body 740. - In the
semiconductor device 700, theTMVs 650 are defined by the encapsulation of the conductive balls electrically connected to and extending between theconductive pattern 112 of thesubstrate 110 and the secondconductive pattern 723 b of theinterposer 723. Similarly, the upper TMVs 750 are defined by the partial encapsulation of the conductive balls electrically connected to the firstconductive pattern 723 a of theinterposer 723 with the package body 740. Importantly, in thesemiconductor device 700, the package body 740 is formed in a manner wherein portions of the conductive balls used to form the TMV's 750 protrude from the top surface of the package body 740 in the manner shown inFIG. 7 . Thus, the height of each TMV 750 slightly exceeds the height or thickness of the package body 740. As indicated above, eachTMV 650, 750 preferably comprises a respective one of the aforementioned conductive balls which are each electrically connected to a peripheral portion of thefirst interposer 723. - The
semiconductor device 700 further comprises a second (upper)interposer 770 which is disposed on and electrically connected to the TMV's 750. Thesecond interposer 770 includes an interposer body 774 having a first conductive pattern 771 formed within the top surface thereof, a second conductive pattern 772 formed therein, and a thirdconductive pattern 773 which is also formed therein and electrically connects the first and second conductive patterns 771, 772 to each other. As seen inFIG. 7 , the first and second conductive patterns 771, 772 are formed within the body 774 of thesecond interposer 770 so as to extend along respective ones of a spaced, generally parallel pair of planes. On the other hand, the thirdconductive pattern 773 is formed in a direction which extends generally perpendicularly between the planes along which respective ones of the first and second conductive patterns 771, 772 extend. In thesemiconductor device 700, the second conductive pattern 772 of thesecond interposer 770 is electrically connected to the exposed portions of the TMV's 750 in the manner shown inFIG. 7 . Due to those portions of the TMV's 750 to which thesecond interposer 770 is electrically connected protruding above the top surface of the package body 740, a narrow space or gap 715 is defined between the top surface of the package body 740 (as well as the top surface of the second semiconductor die 425) and the second interposer 770 (i.e., the bottom surface of the body 774). The formation of the gap 715 between the package body 740 and thesecond interposer 770 enhances the ability of the second semiconductor die 425 to dissipate heat outside of thesemiconductor device 700. Advantageously, the inclusion of thesecond interposer 770 in thesemiconductor device 700 allows a wiring pattern of the TMV's 750 to be selectively redistributed using theinterposer 770. - Referring now to

This is in contrast to thesemiconductor device 700 wherein the top surface of the second semiconductor die 425 is exposed in the top surface of the package body 740. - Another distinction between the
semiconductor devices 800, 700 lies in the substitution of the above-described TMV's 750 of thesemiconductor device 700 with the TMV's 850 included in the semiconductor device 800. In this regard, each of the TMV's 850 bears substantial structural similarity to the TMV's 550 described above in relation to thesemiconductor device 500.

In addition to the first region, eachTMV 850 includes asecond region 852 which extends from the top surface of the package body 840 to a respective one of theconductive balls 851. Thesecond region 852 of eachTMV 850 is identically configured to the above-described TMV's 250, 350, 450, 550, and is preferably fabricated using the same process described above in relation to eachTMV 150. In this regard, thesecond region 852 of eachTMV 850 is defined by a metal-filled hole which is formed in the package body 840 to extend from the top surface thereof to a corresponding conductive ball 851 (i.e., the first region of the same TMV 850).

Each TMV 950 preferably comprises a conductive ball which is electrically connected to a peripheral portion of the
conductive pattern 112. The conductive balls used to define the TMV's 950 are preferably fabricated from a conductive material selected from copper, aluminum, gold, silver, tin, lead, bismuth, soldering materials or equivalents thereto. Importantly, in the semiconductor device 900, the package body 940 is formed in a manner wherein portions of the conductive balls used to form the TMV's 950 protrude from the top surface of the package body 940 in the manner shown inFIG. 9 . Thus, the height of each TMV 950 slightly exceeds the height or thickness of the package body 940. - The semiconductor device 900 further comprises an interposer 970 which is disposed on and electrically connected to the
conductive bumps 931 and the TMV's 950. The interposer 970 includes aninterposer body 974 having a first conductive pattern 971 formed within the top surface thereof, a second conductive pattern 972 formed therein, and a thirdconductive pattern 973 which is also formed therein and electrically connects the first and second conductive patterns 971, 972 to each other. As seen inFIG. 9 , the first and second conductive patterns 971, 972 are formed within thebody 974 of theinterposer 623 so as to extend along respective ones of a spaced, generally parallel pair of planes. On the other hand, the thirdconductive pattern 973 is formed in a direction which extends generally perpendicularly between the planes along which respective ones of the first and second conductive patterns 971, 972 extend. In the semiconductor device 900, the second conductive pattern 972 of the interposer 970 is electrically connected to the exposed portions of theconductive bumps 931 and the TMV's 950 in the manner shown inFIG. 9 . However, no space or gap such as theaforementioned gaps 615, 715 is defined between the interposer 970 and the top surface of the package body 940. Rather, the interposer 970, and in particular the bottom surface of thebody 974 thereof, is in direct contact with the top surface of the package body 940. Advantageously, the inclusion of the interposer 970 in the semiconductor device 900 allows a wiring pattern of theconductive bumps 931 and the TMV's 950 to be selectively redistributed using the interposer 970. As is also seen inFIG. 9 , the interposer 970 is sized relative to the package body 940 such that the side surfaces of thebody 974 extend in substantially co-planar relation to respective side surfaces of the package body 940. - This disclosure provides exemplary embodiments of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is not limited by these exemplary embodiments. Numerous variations, whether explicitly provided for by the specification or implied by the specification, such as variations in structure, dimension, type of material and manufacturing process may be implemented by one of skill in the art in view of this disclosure.
