Abstract

A ball grid array package system comprising: forming a package base including: fabricating a heat spreader having an access port, attaching an integrated circuit die to the heat spreader, mounting a substrate around the integrated circuit die, and coupling an electrical interconnect between the integrated circuit die and the substrate; and coupling a second integrated circuit package to the substrate through the access port.

Claims (54)

mounting a substrate around the integrated circuit die using an insulating adhesive between the substrate and the heat spreader, and

coupling an electrical interconnect between the integrated circuit die and the substrate; and

coupling a second integrated circuit package to the substrate through the access port.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming a package stack on the package base.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising providing a component access port for coupling a discrete component to the substrate.

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

applying a conductive adhesive on the package base;

mounting a second integrated circuit die on the conductive adhesive; and

coupling a chip interconnect between the second integrated circuit die and the substrate of the package base through the access port.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising providing a standoff leg, on the heat spreader, for limiting a system interconnect collapse.

6. A method of making a ball grid array package system comprising:

forming a package base including:

fabricating a heat spreader having an access port including an inner access port, an outer access port, a component access port, a package access port, or a combination thereof,
