Abstract

A stacked die package system including forming a bottom package including a bottom substrate and a bottom die mounted and electrically connected under the bottom substrate and forming a top package including a top substrate and a top die mounted and electrically connected over the top substrate. Mounting the top package by the top substrate over the bottom substrate and electrically connecting the bottom and top substrates. Mounting system electrical connectors under the bottom substrate adjacent the bottom die.

Claims (73)

1. A process of making a stacked die package system comprising:

forming a bottom package including a bottom substrate and a bottom die mounted and electrically connected under the bottom substrate;

forming a top package including a top substrate and a top die mounted and electrically connected over the top substrate;

mounting the top package by the top substrate over the bottom substrate; electrically connecting the bottom and top substrates; and

mounting system electrical connectors under the bottom substrate adjacent the bottom die;

wherein:

forming the bottom package includes:

mounting a plurality of bottom dies to the bottom substrate in a line, and electrically connecting the plurality of bottom dies to the bottom substrate; and

singulating the bottom substrate into a plurality of bottom substrates, each of the plurality of bottom substrates having one of the plurality of bottom dies thereon.

2. The process of making a stacked die package system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

mounting and electrically connecting a topside die to the bottom substrate between the bottom and top substrates.

3. The process of making a stacked die package system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

testing the bottom package; and

testing the top package.

4. A process of making a stacked die package system comprising:

forming a bottom package including a bottom substrate and a bottom die, the bottom die mounted and having electrical connectors for electrical connection under the bottom substrate;

encapsulating the bottom die, the electrical connectors therefor, or a combination thereof;

forming a top package including a top substrate and a top die, the top die mounted and having electrical connectors for electrical connection over the top substrate;

encapsulating the top die, the electrical connectors therefor, or a combination thereof;

mounting the top package using the top substrate over the bottom substrate; electrically connecting the bottom and top substrates with substrate electrical connectors;

encapsulating the top package; and mounting system electrical connectors under the bottom substrate around the die of the bottom package, package;

wherein:

forming the bottom package includes:

mounting a plurality of bottom dies to the bottom substrate in a line, and electrically connecting the plurality of bottom dies to the bottom substrate;

mounting a plurality of top packages to the bottom substrate; and

singulating the bottom substrate into a plurality of bottom substrates, each of the plurality of bottom substrates having one of the plurality of bottom dies and one of the plurality of top packages thereon.

5. The process of making a stacked die package system as claimed in claim 4 further comprising:

mounting and electrically connecting a topside die to the bottom substrate between the bottom and top substrates; and

encapsulating the topside die or electrical connectors therefor.

6. The process of making a stacked die package system as claimed in claim 4 further comprising:

testing the bottom package; and

testing the top die package separately from the bottom package.

7. A stacked die package system comprising:

a bottom package including a bottom substrate and a bottom die mounted under the bottom substrate;

a topside package including a top substrate and a die mounted over the top substrate, the topside package mounted by the top substrate over the bottom substrate;

electrical connectors from the top substrate to the bottom substrate; and

system electrical connectors mounted on the bottom of the bottom substrate adjacent the die mounted under the bottom substrate;

further comprising:

an encapsulated topside die mounted between the bottom and top substrates;

a top package mounted over the encapsulated topside die; and

a topside encapsulant over the encapsulated topside die and the top package.

8. The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein:

the electrical connectors from the top substrate to the bottom substrate including wires or solder connectors.

9. The system as claimed in claim 7 further comprising:

a topside die mounted between the bottom and top substrates.

10. The system as claimed in claim 7 further comprising:

epoxy dots disposed between the bottom package and the top package.

11. The system as claimed in claim 7 further comprising:

a top die mounted over the topside package; and

electrical connectors from the top die to the bottom substrate.

12. A stacked die package system comprising:

a bottom package including a bottom substrate and an encapsulated bottom die mounted under the bottom substrate;

a topside package including a top substrate and an encapsulated top die mounted over the substrate, the topside package mounted by the top substrate over the bottom substrate;

electrical connectors from the topside package to the bottom substrate; and

system electrical connectors mounted on the bottom of the bottom substrate around the encapsulated bottom die;

further comprising:

an encapsulated topside die mounted between the bottom and top substrates;

a top package mounted over the encapsulated topside die; and

a topside encapsulant over the encapsulated die, the top package, and the electrical connectors from the top package to the bottom substrate.

13. The system as claimed in claim 12 wherein:

the electrical connectors from the topside package to the bottom substrate include wires or solder connectors, the solder connectors encapsulated in a top underfill adhesive;

the encapsulated bottom die has solder connectors encapsulated in a bottom underfill adhesive; or

a combination thereof.

14. The system as claimed in claim 12 further comprising:

a topside die mounted between the bottom and top substrates; and

electrical connectors electrically connecting the topside die to the bottom substrate.

15. The system as claimed in claim 12 further comprising:

epoxy dots disposed between the bottom and top substrates; and

solder connectors encapsulated in a topside underfill adhesive among the epoxy dots.

16. The system as claimed in claim 12 further comprising:

a top die mounted over the topside package;

electrical connectors from the top die to the bottom substrate; and

an encapsulant over the top die and the electrical connectors from the top die to the bottom substrate.
