Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing a base substrate; depositing a through-conductor on the base substrate; depositing a semiconducting layer on the base substrate and around the through-conductor; forming a metal trace connected to the through-conductor; depositing a dielectric surrounding the metal trace; and removing the base substrate.

Claims (72)

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

providing a base substrate;

depositing a through-conductor on the base substrate;

depositing an epitaxial layer on the base substrate and around the through-conductor;

removing the base substrate;

mounting a substrate below the metal trace; and

connecting the substrate to the metal trace with an interconnect.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

providing the base substrate includes providing a silicon mono-crystalline wafer; and

implanting the doped epitaxial layer includes doping with Diborane, Phosphine, Arsine, or a combination thereof.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

providing the through-conductor includes providing a through-conductor terminating in a through-conductor pad near a top of the epitaxial layer; and

further comprising:

encapsulating the metal trace, the dielectric, but not the through-conductor pad with an encapsulation.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

providing the through-conductor, depositing the epitaxial layer, forming the metal trace, and depositing the dielectric includes providing a through-conductor,
