Abstract

The present invention provides a semiconductor device protective structure. The structure comprises a die with contact metal balls formed thereon electrically coupling with a print circuit board. A back surface of the die is directly adhered on a substrate and a first buffer layer is formed on the substrate. The substrate is configured over a second buffer layer such that the second buffer layer substantially encompasses the whole substrate to decrease damage to the substrate when the side of the substrate is collided with an external object.

Claims (13)

1. A semiconductor device protective structure, comprising:

a die having a plurality of electrical contacts on a first surface of said die;

a plurality of conductive balls coupled to said contacts;

a substrate adhered on a second surface of said die;

a first buffer layer formed on said substrate and adjacent to said die; and

a second buffer layer, wherein said substrate is configured over said second buffer layer such that said second buffer layer substantially encompasses the whole said substrate, whereby to decrease damage to said substrate when the side of said substrate is applied by an external force.

2. The structure in claim 1 , wherein said substrate includes slope sidewall slots formed therein.

3. The structure in claim 2 , wherein said second buffer layer is refilled into said slope sidewall slots.

4. The structure in claim 2 , wherein a depth of said slope sidewall slot is substantially the same with a thickness of said substrate.

5. The structure in claim 1 , furthering comprising a protective layer covering said electrical contacts to expose said electrical contacts for allowing said plurality of conductive balls electrically coupling with an external part.

6. The structure in claim 5 , wherein the material of said protective layer comprises silicone rubber BCB, SINR (Siloxane polymer), epoxy, polyimides or resin.

7. The structure in claim 1 , wherein said substrate comprises silicon, glass, alloy 42, quartz or ceramic.

8. The structure in claim 1 , wherein the material of said first buffer layer and said second buffer layer comprise silicone rubber BCB, SINR (Siloxane polymer), epoxy, polyimides or resin.
