Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing a base substrate; attaching a base integrated circuit on the base substrate; forming a base encapsulation, having a base encapsulation top side, on the base substrate and around the base integrated circuit; forming a base conductive via, having a base via head, through the base encapsulation and attached to the base substrate adjacent to the base integrated circuit, the base via head exposed from and coplanar with the base encapsulation top side; mounting an interposer structure over the base encapsulation with the interposer structure connected to the base via head; and forming an upper encapsulation on the base encapsulation top side and partially surrounding the interposer structure with a side of the interposer structure facing away from the base encapsulation exposed.

Claims (42)

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

providing a base substrate;

attaching a base integrated circuit on the base substrate;

forming a base encapsulation, having a base encapsulation top side, on the base substrate and around the base integrated circuit;

forming a base conductive via, having a base via head, through the base encapsulation and attached to the base substrate adjacent to the base integrated circuit, the base via head exposed from and coplanar with the base encapsulation top side;

mounting an interposer structure over the base encapsulation with the interposer structure connected to the base via head; and

forming an upper encapsulation in direct contact with the base encapsulation top side and partially surrounding the interposer structure with a side of the interposer structure facing away from the base encapsulation exposed.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the upper encapsulation includes forming a recess in the side of the upper encapsulation facing away from the base encapsulation with the interposer structure exposed in the recess.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the upper encapsulation includes forming the side of the upper encapsulation facing away from the base encapsulation coplanar with the exposed side of the interposer structure.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the base integrated circuit includes attaching the base integrated circuit having a base circuit via.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising attaching a mountable device to the side of the interposer structure exposed from the upper encapsulation.

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

providing a base substrate;

attaching a base integrated circuit, having a base circuit active side and a base circuit non-active side, on the base substrate, the base circuit active side facing the base substrate;

forming a base encapsulation, having a base encapsulation top side, on the base substrate and around the base integrated circuit, the base circuit non-active side exposed from and coplanar with the base encapsulation top side;

forming a base conductive via, having a base via head, through the base encapsulation and attached to the base substrate adjacent to the base integrated circuit, the base via head exposed from and coplanar with the base encapsulation top side;

mounting an interposer structure over the base encapsulation with the interposer structure connected to the base via head; and

forming an upper encapsulation in direct contact with the base encapsulation top side, with the interface between the base encapsulation and upper encapsulation along a single horizontal plane, and partially surrounding the interposer structure with a side of the interposer structure facing away from the base encapsulation exposed.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein mounting the interposer structure over the base encapsulation includes attaching the interposer structure to the base via head with an interposer interconnect.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein mounting the interposer structure includes mounting the interposer structure having an interposer substrate.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein mounting the interposer structure includes mounting the interposer structure having an interposer circuit device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

mounting the interposer structure includes mounting the interposer structure having an interposer circuit device and an interposer device via; and

forming the upper encapsulation includes partially surrounding the interposer structure with the interposer device via exposed.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a base substrate;

a base integrated circuit attached on the base substrate;

a base encapsulation, having a base encapsulation top side, on the base substrate and around the base integrated circuit,

a base conductive via, having a base via head, through the base encapsulation and attached to the base substrate adjacent to the base integrated circuit, the base via head exposed from and coplanar with the base encapsulation top side;

an interposer structure over the base encapsulation and connected to the base via head; and

an upper encapsulation in direct contact with the base encapsulation top side and partially surrounding the interposer structure with the side of the interposer structure facing away from the base encapsulation exposed.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the upper encapsulation includes a recess in the side of the upper encapsulation facing away from the base encapsulation with the interposer structure exposed in the recess.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the side of the upper encapsulation facing away from the base encapsulation is coplanar with the exposed side of the interposer structure.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the base integrated circuit includes a base circuit via.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a mountable device attached to the side of the interposer structure exposed from the upper encapsulation.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the base integrated circuit includes a base circuit active side facing the base substrate and a base circuit non-active side; and

the base encapsulation top side is coplanar with the base circuit non-active side.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising an interposer interconnect attached between the interposer structure and the base via head.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the interposer structure includes an interposer substrate.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the interposer structure includes an interposer circuit device.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the interposer structure includes an interposer device via exposed from the upper encapsulation.
