Abstract

See full text

In a method aspect, a multiplicity of ICs are attached to routing on a structurally supportive carrier (such as a wafer). The dice are encapsulated and then both the dice and the encapsulant layer are thinned with the carrier in place. A second routing layer is formed over the first encapsulant layer and conductive vias are provided to electrically couple the first and second routing layers as desired. External I/O contacts (e.g. solder bumps) are provided to facilitate electrical connection of the second routing layer (or a subsequent routing layer in stacked packages) to external devices. A contact encapsulant layer is then formed over the first encapsulant layer and the second routing layer in a manner that embeds the external I/O contacts at least partially therein. After the contact encapsulant layer has been formed, the carrier itself may be thinned significantly and singulated to provide a number of very low profile packages. The described approach can also be used to form stacked multi-chip packages.
