Abstract

An integrated circuit package system is provided including forming a mounting structure having an external interconnect, a paddle, and a tie bar; mounting an integrated circuit die on the paddle; soldering a stiffener structure; having an opening; on the mounting structure; connecting the stiffener structure to a ground; and molding the integrated circuit die and partially the stiffener structure through the opening.

Claims (55)

1. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

forming a mounting structure having an external interconnect, a paddle, and a tie bar;

mounting an integrated circuit die on the paddle;

soldering a stiffener structure, having an opening, on the mounting structure;

connecting the stiffener structure to a ground; and

molding the integrated circuit die and partially the stiffener structure through the opening.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein soldering the stiffener structure, having the opening, on the mounting structure includes soldering the stiffener structure and the paddle.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein soldering the stiffener structure includes forming the stiffener structure with a material having planar rigidity.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein soldering the stiffener structure includes:

forming the stiffener structure with a support; and

soldering the support on the mounting structure.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the mounting structure having the external interconnect, the paddle, and the tie bar includes forming the external interconnect, the paddle, and the tie bar with a material having planar rigidity.

6. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

forming a solder mount surface having an external interconnect, a paddle, and a tie bar;

mounting an integrated circuit die on the paddle with an adhesive;

soldering a conductive stiffener, having an opening, on the solder mount surface;

connecting the solder mount surface and the conductive stiffener to a ground; and

top center gate molding the integrated circuit die and the conductive stiffener through the opening.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein top center gate molding the integrated circuit die and the conductive stiffener through the opening includes partially exposing the conductive stiffener to ambient.

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

forming a ring, connected to the tie bar, as part of the mounting structure; and wherein soldering the conductive stiffener includes:

soldering the conductive stiffener and the ring.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

forming a segment, connected to the external interconnect, as part of the mounting structure; and

wherein soldering the stiffener structure includes:

soldering the stiffener structure and the segment.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein soldering the conductive stiffener includes soldering the conductive stiffener and the tie bar.

11. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

a mounting structure having an external interconnect, a paddle, and a tie bar;

an integrated circuit die on the paddle;

a stiffener structure, having an opening, on the mounting structure with solder;

the stiffener structure connected to a ground; and

an encapsulation to cover the integrated circuit die and partially cover the stiffener structure with the encapsulation in the opening.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the stiffener structure, having the opening, on the mounting structure is on the paddle.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the stiffener structure has a material having planar rigidity.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the stiffener structure, having the opening, on the mounting structure with solder includes:

the stiffener structure with a support; and

the support on the mounting structure with solder.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the mounting structure having the external interconnect, the paddle, and the tie bar includes the external interconnect, the paddle, and the tie bar having a material with planar rigidity.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the mounting structure is a solder mount surface having the external interconnect, the paddle, and the tie bar;

the integrated circuit die is on the paddle with an adhesive;

the stiffener structure is a conductive stiffener, having the opening, on the mounting structure with solder;

the stiffener structure along with the mounting structure is connected to a ground; and

the encapsulation is a top center gate encapsulation to cover the integrated circuit die and partially cover the stiffener structure with the encapsulation in the opening.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the encapsulation to cover the integrated circuit die and partially cover the conductive stiffener through the opening includes the conductive stiffener partially exposed to ambient.

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

a ring, connected to the tie bar, as part of the mounting structure; and

wherein the conductive stiffener on the mounting structure includes:

the conductive stiffener soldered with the ring.

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

a segment, connected to the external interconnect, as part of the mounting structure; and
