Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: forming a first level contact on a first external connection level; forming a second level contact on a second external connection level next to the first external connection level; attaching a device adjacent the first level contact and the second level contact; attaching a first level device connector to the first level contact and the device; attaching a second level device connector to the second level contact and the device; and forming an encapsulant over the first level contact, the second level contact, the first level device connector, and the second level device connector.

Claims (63)

1. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

forming a first level contact on a first external connection level;

forming a second level contact on a second external connection level, the second external connection level parallel to the first external connection level;

attaching a device adjacent the first level contact and the second level contact;

attaching a first level device connector to the first level contact and the device;

attaching a second level device connector to the second level contact and the device; and

forming an encapsulant over the first level contact, the second level contact, and the device for forming a package bottom at a bottom side of the encapsulant, the first external connection level, the second external connection level, and an inactive side of the device exposed from the package bottom.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the first level device connector includes attaching a wire to the first level contact and the device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the first level device connector includes attaching a solder bump to the first level contact and the device.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the second level device connector includes attaching a through silicon via to the second level contact.

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

providing a substrate;

attaching a base device over the substrate;

applying a stack encapsulant over the base device and a portion of the substrate; and

attaching the encapsulant over the stack encapsulant.

6. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

forming a first level contact on a first external connection level of a side of the package;

forming a second level contact on a second external connection level of the side of the package, the second external connection level parallel to the first external connection level;

attaching a device having a connection region adjacent the first level contact and the second level contact;

attaching a first level device connector to the first level contact and the connection region;

attaching a second level device connector to the second level contact and another of the connection region; and

forming an encapsulant over the first level contact, the second level contact, and the device for forming a package bottom at a bottom side of the encapsulant, the first external connection level, the second external connection level, and an inactive side of the device exposed from the package bottom.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein attaching the second level device connector includes attaching a wire to the second level contact and the connection region.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein attaching the second level device connector includes attaching a solder ball to the second level contact and the connection region.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising forming a redistribution layer over the device.

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

providing a substrate having a conductor;

attaching a base device over the substrate;

applying a stack encapsulant over the base device and a portion of the substrate;

attaching the encapsulant over the stack encapsulant;

attaching a module connector to the first level contact and the conductor; and

applying a package encapsulant over the module connector, a portion of the encapsulant, the stack encapsulant, and a portion of the substrate.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a first level contact on a first external connection level;

a second level contact on a second external connection level, the second external connection level parallel to the first external connection level;

a device adjacent the first level contact and the second level contact;

a first level device connector attached to the first level contact and the device;

a second level device connector attached to the second level contact and the device; and

an encapsulant over the first level contact, the second level contact, and the device for forming a package bottom at a bottom side of the encapsulant, the first external connection level, the second external connection level, and an inactive side of the device exposed from the package bottom.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the first level device connector is a wire.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the first level device connector is a solder bump.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the second level device connector is a through silicon via.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a substrate;

a base device over the substrate;

a stack encapsulant over the base device and a portion of the substrate; and

the encapsulant attached over the stack encapsulant.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the first level contact is on the first external connection level of a side of the package;

the second level contact is on the second external connection level of the side of the package and next to the first external connection level;

the device having a connection region is adjacent the first level contact and the second level contact;

the first level device connector is attached to the first level contact and the connection region;

the second level device connector is attached to the second level contact and another of the connection region; and

the encapsulant is formed over the first level contact, the second level contact, the first level device connector, the second level device connector, and a portion of the device.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the second level device connector is a wire.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the second level device connector is a solder ball.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a redistribution layer over the device.

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

a substrate having a conductor;

a base device over the substrate;

a stack encapsulant over the base device and a portion of the substrate and having the encapsulant thereover;

a module connector attached to the first level contact and the conductor; and

a package encapsulant over the module connector, a portion of the encapsulant, the stack encapsulant, and a portion of the substrate.
