View Patent ↗A semiconductor package system including: providing a substrate having a thermal relief thereon; depositing a mask on the substrate and the thermal relief, the mask deposited on the thermal relief and having a regular pattern to partially cover the thermal relief; and die attaching a semiconductor die over the thermal relief.
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor package system comprising:
providing a substrate having thermal relief pads thereon;
depositing a mask on the substrate and the thermal relief pads;
processing the mask with a pattern of holes, the substrate and only one of the thermal relief pads partially exposed from one of the holes; and
mounting a semiconductor die over the thermal relief pads, the thermal relief pads directly under and within planar extents of the semiconductor die.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein processing the mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a mesh pattern.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein processing the mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a row and column of squares pattern.
4. The method as claims in claim 1 wherein processing the mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a cross hair pattern.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein processing the mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a pattern exposing the substrate substantially evenly around the thermal relief pads.
6. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor package system comprising:
providing a substrate having thermal relief pads thereon;
depositing a solder mask on the substrate and the thermal relief pads;
processing the solder mask with a pattern of holes, the substrate and only one of the thermal relief pads partially exposed from one of the holes; and
mounting a semiconductor die over the thermal relief pads, the thermal relief pads directly under and within planar extents of the semiconductor die.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein processing the solder mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a mesh pattern exposing a portion of the thermal relief pads and the substrate.
8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein processing the solder mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a row and column of squares pattern at an angle to an edge of the substrate.
9. The method as claims in claim 6 wherein processing the solder mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a cross hair pattern centered on the thermal relief pads.
10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein processing the solder mask exposes the thermal relief pads in a pattern exposing the substrate substantially evenly around the thermal relief pads with the solder mask crossing the center of the thermal relief pads.
