Abstract

The present invention provides a three-dimensional System-In-Package (SIP) Package-On-Package (POP) structure comprising a support element formed around a first electronic device. A filling material is filled between the first electronic device and the support element. Signal channels are coupled to first die pads of the first electronic device. Conductive elements form signal connection between the first end of the signal channels and the second die pads of a second electronic device.

Claims (31)

1. A three-dimensional package structure, comprising:

at least one first electronic device with first die pads;

a support element formed around said at least one first electronic device;

a filling material filled between said at least one first electronic device and said support element, wherein top surfaces of said at least one first electronic device, said support element and said filling material are coplanar;

a dielectric layer formed on said at least one first electronic device, said support element and said filling material to expose said first die pads;

signal channels formed over said dielectric layer for coupling to said first die pads;

a first protective layer formed over said signal channels to expose the first end of said signal channels;

conductive elements formed on said first end of said signal channels;

a second electronic device with second die pads coupled to said conductive elements;

a second protective layer formed under said second electronic device to expose said second die pads of said second electronic device;

a second dielectric layer formed under said first electronic device, said support element and said filling material;

a third protective layer formed under said second dielectric layer;

a second support element formed around said at least one first electronic device;

backside signal channels formed under said second dielectric layer for connecting to said second support element;

solder balls formed under said third protective layer and said backside signal channels for connecting to said backside signal channels; and

a connecting layer formed on said first die pads and said second support element, and under said signal channels.

2. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising a connecting layer formed between said signal channels and said first die pads.

3. The structure of claim 2 , wherein said connecting layer includes conductive material.

4. The structure of claim 1 , wherein said support element includes conductive material.

5. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising a substrate with terminal pads formed thereon, and an adhesive layer formed over said substrate and under said at least one first electronic device, said support element and said filling material.

6. The structure of claim 5 , further comprising bonding pads formed on the second end of said signal channels wherein said bonding pads are electrically connected to said terminal pads through wire bonds.

7. The structure of claim 6 , further comprising a molding material for encapsulating said first electronic device, said second electronic device and said wire bonds on said substrate.

8. The structure of claim 7 , further comprising second conductive elements formed under said substrate.

9. The structure of claim 5 , wherein said adhesive layer comprises conductive material, glue material, ceramic material or copper paste.

10. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising ball pads formed on the second end of said signal channels wherein said ball pads are electrically connected to solder balls.

11. The structure of claim 10 , further comprising a die attach formed under said first electronic device.

12. The structure of claim 11 , further comprising a third protective layer formed under said die attach, said support element and said filling material.

13. The structure of claim 12 , wherein material of said third protective layer comprises silicone rubber, glass, alloy, metal or ceramic.

14. The structure of claim 12 , wherein said third protective layer comprises elastic material, photosensitive material or dielectric material.

15. The structure of claim 1 , wherein bottom surface of said second support element and lower surface of said second dielectric layer are coplanar.

16. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising a second signal channels formed under said second electronic device and coupling between said second die pads and said conductive elements.
