Integrated circuit package in package system
View Patent ↗An integrated circuit package in package system includes: a base integrated circuit package with a base lead substantially coplanar with a base die paddle and having a portion with a substantially planar base surface; an extended-lead integrated circuit package with an extended lead having a portion with a substantially planar lead-end surface; a package-stacking layer over the base integrated circuit package; and the extended-lead integrated circuit package over the base integrated circuit package including: an end portion of the extended lead, directly on the package-stacking layer, and the extended lead exposed by and extending away from the bottom of the side of an extended-lead encapsulation and bending downwards toward the direction of the package stacking layer with the substantially planar lead-end surface coplanar with the substantially planar base surface.
1. An integrated circuit package in package system comprising:
a base integrated circuit package with a base lead substantially coplanar with a base die paddle and having a portion with a substantially planar base surface;
an extended-lead integrated circuit package with an extended lead having a portion with a substantially planar lead-end surface;
a package-stacking layer over the base integrated circuit package; and
the extended-lead integrated circuit package over the base integrated circuit package including:
an end portion of the extended lead, directly on the package-stacking layer, and
the extended lead exposed by and extending away from the bottom of the side of an extended-lead encapsulation and bending downwards toward the direction of the package stacking layer with the substantially planar lead-end surface coplanar with the substantially planar base surface.
2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the extended-lead integrated circuit package comprises the extended lead beyond an extended-lead encapsulant.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the extended-lead integrated circuit package comprises the extended lead downward towards a side opposite a top integrated circuit die.
4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the extended-lead integrated circuit package comprises a lead-end encapsulant over lead ends of the extended leads.
5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the extended-lead integrated circuit package comprises a package encapsulant over a portion of the bottom integrated circuit die and a portion of the extended-lead integrated circuit package including lead ends of the extended leads.
6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:
the base integrated circuit package is a base integrated circuit package with a base surface of base leads substantially planar to one another and exposed;
the extended-lead integrated circuit package is an extended-lead integrated circuit package with a lead-end surface of extended leads substantially planar to one another and exposed; and
the extended-lead integrated circuit package is an extended-lead integrated circuit package over the base integrated circuit package with the lead-end surface coplanar with the base surface and having the lead-end surface and the base surface exposed for electrical connection.
7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the extended-lead integrated circuit package comprises a bottom surface of the extended-lead integrated circuit package on the package-stacking layer.
8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the package-stacking layer is attached on the base integrated circuit package.
9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the extended-lead integrated circuit package comprises the extended-lead integrated circuit package discretely validated with functional tests and performance tests.
10. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the base integrated circuit package comprises the base integrated circuit package discretely validated with functional tests and performance tests.
