Integrated circuit packaging system with terminals and method of manufacture thereof

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

providing a leadframe, of a first metal, having a leadframe platform region;

forming a mounting platform on the leadframe platform region by depositing the mounting platform, of a second metal, on the leadframe platform region;

applying an attach layer directly on the mounting platform;

mounting an integrated circuit die on the attach layer, the attach layer completely covering a non-active side of the integrated circuit die;

forming an encapsulation on the integrated circuit die and the attach layer;

etching the leadframe platform region, to completely remove the first metal, for exposing an entire area of the second metal as a platform bottom side of the mounting platform from the encapsulation and for forming an encapsulation cavity at an encapsulation bottom surface of the encapsulation; and

forming a terminal having a terminal protrusion from the leadframe, the terminal protrusion below the platform bottom side of the mounting platform and the encapsulation separating the terminal from contact with the mounting platform; wherein the first metal is different from the second metal.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

forming the terminal includes forming a top terminal layer; and

providing the leadframe includes providing the mounting platform coplanar to the top terminal layer.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the encapsulation includes forming the encapsulation cavity having a cavity horizontal dimension larger than a die horizontal dimension.

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

providing a base substrate;

mounting a base integrated circuit die to the base substrate; and

mounting the base substrate to the terminal with the base integrated circuit die below the integrated circuit die.

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

providing a leadframe, of a first metal, having a leadframe platform region;

forming a mounting platform on the leadframe platform region by depositing the mountings platform, of a second metal, on the leadframe platform region;

applying an attach layer directly on the mounting platform;

mounting an integrated circuit die on the attach layer, the attach layer completely covering a non-active side of the integrated circuit die;

forming an encapsulation on the integrated circuit die and the attach layer;

etching the leadframe platform region, to completely remove the first metal, for exposing an entire area of the second metal as a platform bottom side of the mounting platform from the encapsulation and for forming an encapsulation cavity at an encapsulation bottom surface, the encapsulation cavity shaped by the leadframe platform region; and

removing portions of the leadframe for forming a terminal having a terminal protrusion, the terminal protrusion extends below the platform bottom side of the mounting platform and the encapsulation separating the terminal from contact with the mounting platform; wherein the first metal is different from the second metal.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 further comprising connecting a chip interconnect between the integrated circuit die and the terminal.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein forming the terminal includes forming the terminal partially in the encapsulation with only a portion of the terminal at a terminal bottom side exposed from the encapsulation.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein forming the encapsulation cavity includes forming a cavity sidewall extending to the terminal protrusion.
