Abstract

An apparatus, method, and system for electronic device packaging having stacked dice are disclosed herein. A first die has a through silicon via formed therethrough. A second die is landed on the through silicon via of the first die. A mount having a lead is coupled to the through silicon via of the first die.

Claims (33)

1. An electronic package, comprising:

a mount having a lead;

a first die having an active surface and a back surface, the active surface facing the mount, the first die further having a first through-silicon via landed on the lead;

a silicon spacer landed on the first through-silicon via;

a second die having an active surface and a back surface, the active surface of the second die facing the silicon spacer, the second die further having a second through-silicon via and landed on the silicon spacer; and

a redirect path located in the silicon spacer, the redirect path adapted to route a signal between the first through-silicon via and the second through-silicon via, where the first through-silicon via and the second through-silicon via are not directly adjacent one another.

2. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first die and the second die is Flip Chip memory.

3. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the mount is selected from the group consisting of a leadless quad flat-pack, a leadless small outline integrated circuit, a leadless TSOP, a leaded SOIC, a leaded quad flat-pack, and a leaded TSOP.

4. The electronic package of claim 1 , further comprising a solder joint coupled to the first through-silicon via and physically coupled to the lead of the mount, and wherein the solder joint is selected from the group consisting of controlled collapse chip connection and eutectic solder.

5. The electronic package of claim 1 , further comprising a solder joint coupled to the first through-silicon via and coupled to the silicon spacer, and wherein the solder joint is selected from the group consisting of controlled collapse chip connection and eutectic solder.

6. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the redirect path includes one or more functional units adapted to modify the signal, wherein at least one of the one or more functional units is selected from the group consisting of a logic device; and an analog device.

7. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the lead is physically coupled to the first through-silicon via by a solder joint.

8. The electronic package of claim 1 , further comprising:

a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the first through-silicon via;

an adhesion layer formed on the dielectric layer;

an interconnect contact material formed on the adhesion layer; and

a cavity fill material formed on the interconnect contact material.

9. The electronic package of claim 1 , wherein the redirect path includes one or more functional units adapted to modify the signal, the one or more functional units having a logic device and an analog device.

10. The electronic package of claim 1 , further comprising a solder joint coupled to the silicon spacer and coupled to the second through-silicon via, and wherein the solder joint is selected from the group consisting of controlled collapse chip connection and eutectic solder.

11. A system comprising:

an electronic package, comprising:

a mount having a lead;

a first die having an active surface and a back surface, the active surface facing the mount, the first die further having a first through-silicon via landed on the lead:

a silicon spacer landed on the first through-silicon via;

a second die having an active surface and a back surface, the active surface of the second die facing the silicon spacer, the second die further having a second through-silicon via and landed on the silicon spacer; and

a redirect path located in the silicon spacer, the redirect path adapted to route a signal between the first through-silicon via and the second through-silicon via, where the first through-silicon via and the second through-silicon via are not directly adjacent one another;

a bus coupled to the electronic package; and

a mass storage coupled to the bus.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is selected from the group consisting of a set-top box, a digital camera, a CD player, a DVD player, a wireless mobile phone, a tablet computing device, and a laptop computing device.

13. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a solder joint coupled to the first through-silicon via and coupled to the silicon, and wherein the solder joint is selected from the group consisting of controlled collapse chip connection and eutectic solder.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the redirect path includes one or more functional units adapted to modify the signal, wherein at least one of the one or more functional units is selected from the group consisting of a logic device and an analog device.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the redirect path includes one or more functional units adapted to modify the signal, the one or more functional units having a logic device and an analog device.

16. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a solder joint coupled to the silicon spacer and coupled to the second through-silicon via, and wherein the solder joint is selected from the group consisting of controlled collapse chip connection and eutectic solder.
