Abstract

A semiconductor package system is provided including mounting a semiconductor chip to a substrate having a substrate opening. A first heat slug is attached to a first surface of the semiconductor chip at least partially encapsulating the semiconductor chip. A second heat slug is attached to the second surface of the semiconductor chip through the substrate opening.

Claims (32)

1. A semiconductor package method comprising:

mounting a semiconductor chip to a substrate having a substrate opening and a vertical build-up wing, and the vertical build-up wing is circumscribed by vertical planes of a perimeter of, and spaced apart from, the semiconductor chip;

attaching a first heat slug to the substrate at a first horizontal plane and to a first surface of the semiconductor chip, the first heat slug at least partially encapsulating the semiconductor chip; and

attaching a second heat slug above the substrate at a second horizontal plane above the first horizontal plane and to a second surface of the semiconductor chip through the substrate opening.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

mounting the semiconductor chip further comprises reflow soldering stud bumps on the semiconductor chip to solder pillars/ball bumps on the substrate.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

hermetically sealing the first heat slug to the substrate using a vacuum.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the first heat slug further comprises providing the first heat slug with a top recess on a top surface thereof; or

attaching the second heat slug further comprises providing the second heat slug with a bottom recess on a bottom surface thereof.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the first heat slug further comprises providing the first heat slug with a first fin on a top surface thereof; or

attaching the second heat slug further comprises providing the first heat slug with a second fin on a bottom surface thereof.

6. A semiconductor package method comprising:

mounting a semiconductor chip by flipping and electrically connecting former top bonding pads to a substrate having a substrate opening and a vertical build-up wing, and the vertical build-up wing is circumscribed by vertical planes of a perimeter of, and spaced apart from, the semiconductor chip;

attaching a top heat slug above the substrate at a first horizontal plane and to a first surface of the semiconductor chip using a conductive bond, the top heat slug at least partially encapsulating the semiconductor chip; and

attaching a bottom heat slug to the substrate at a second horizontal plane above the first horizontal plane and using a conductive bond to a second surface of the semiconductor chip through the substrate opening.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

mounting the semiconductor chip further comprises reflow soldering stud bumps on the semiconductor chip to solder pillars/ball bumps on the substrate;

attaching the top heat slug further comprises attaching the top heat slug with a non-conductive bond to the top of the substrate; and

attaching the bottom heat slug further comprises attaching the bottom heat slug with a non-conductive bond to the bottom of the substrate.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

hermetically sealing the top heat slug to the substrate by applying a vacuum or a further sealant through the substrate opening.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

attaching the top heat slug further comprises providing the top heat slug with a top recess in the center of a top surface thereof;

attaching the bottom heat slug further comprises providing the bottom heat slug with a bottom recess in the center of a bottom surface thereof; or

attaching the bottom heat slug further comprises attaching the bottom heat slug in a recessed cavity in the substrate.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

attaching the top heat slug further comprises providing the top heat slug with a first plurality of fins on a top surface thereof;

attaching the bottom heat slug further comprises providing the bottom heat slug with a second plurality of fins on a bottom surface thereof; or

further comprising attaching a ball grid array on the bottom of the substrate electrically connected to the semiconductor chip.
