Integrated circuit package-on-package stacking system and method of manufacture thereof

1. A method for fabricating an integrated circuit package-on-package stacking system comprising forming a leadframe interposer including:

forming a leadframe having a lead;

forming a molded base only supporting the lead;

singulating the leadframe interposer from the leadframe; and

bending the lead of the leadframe interposer to support a stack-up height.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising providing a signal contact on the leadframe interposer for providing an electrical connection to an upper integrated circuit package.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein singulating the leadframe interposer from the leadframe includes:

cutting a dam bar from the leadframe; and

adjusting a stack-up height by forming an outer lead.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming an extension base on the leadframe interposer.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising providing an additional contact on an extended interposer for attaching a discrete component, an integrated circuit package, an integrated circuit die, or a combination thereof.

6. A method for fabricating an integrated circuit package-on-package stacking system comprising forming a leadframe interposer including:

forming a leadframe having an array of leadframe interposers and leads;

forming a molded base only supporting the leads includes forming the molded base on the leadframe interposer;

singulating the leadframe interposer from the leadframe includes cutting the leadframe; and

bending the lead of the leadframe interposer to support a stack-up height.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising providing a signal contact on the leadframe interposer for providing the electrical connection to an upper integrated circuit package, in which the signal contact may be gold plated.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein singulating the leadframe interposer from the leadframe includes:

cutting a dam bar and cutting a frame piece from the leadframe; and

adjusting a stack-up height by forming an outer lead includes bending the outer lead in two places.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising forming an extension base on the leadframe interposer includes providing an electrical contact.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising providing an additional contact on an extended interposer for attaching a discrete component, an integrated circuit package, an integrated circuit die, or a combination thereof includes providing an additional function on the extended interposer.
