Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing an interposer having an interposer bottom side and an interposer top side; attaching a base integrated circuit to the interposer bottom side; attaching a lead to the interposer bottom side, the lead adjacent the base integrated circuit and entirely below the interposer; and forming an encapsulation partially covering the lead and exposing the interposer top side.

Claims (68)

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

providing an interposer having interposer fingers, interposer pads, interposer peripheral sides, an interposer bottom side, and an interposer top side, wherein the interposer fingers and the interposer pads are formed as single integral structures, the interposer fingers are adjacent and along only one of the interposer peripheral sides, and the interposer pads are adjacent the interposer peripheral sides;

attaching a base integrated circuit to the interposer bottom side;

mounting a stack integrated circuit over the base integrated circuit, the stack integrated circuit overhangs the base integrated circuit;

attaching an internal electrical connector directly to the stack integrated circuit and the base integrated circuit;

attaching a lead to the interposer bottom side, the lead adjacent the base integrated circuit and entirely below the interposer; and

forming an encapsulation partially covering the lead and exposing the interposer top side; and

wherein:

attaching the lead includes attaching the lead having a lead outer portion below the encapsulation.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

providing the interposer includes providing the interposer having the interposer pads along another of the interposer peripheral sides, wherein the interposer peripheral sides are connected to each other; and

attaching the internal electrical connector includes attaching the internal electrical connector to one of the interposer fingers and the base integrated circuit.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

providing the interposer includes providing the interposer having the interposer pads at the interposer bottom side; and

attaching the lead includes attaching the lead to one of the interposer pads.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the lead includes attaching the leads to the interposer along only two of the interposer peripheral sides.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising attaching a stack device to the interposer bottom side.

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

providing an interposer having interposer fingers, interposer pads, interposer peripheral sides, an interposer bottom side, and an interposer top side, wherein the interposer fingers and the interposer pads are formed as single integral structures, the interposer fingers are adjacent and along only one of the interposer peripheral sides, and the interposer pads are adjacent two of the interposer peripheral sides;

attaching a base integrated circuit to the interposer bottom side;

mounting a stack integrated circuit over the base integrated circuit, the stack integrated circuit overhangs the base integrated circuit;

attaching an internal electrical connector directly to the stack integrated circuit and the base integrated circuit;

attaching a lead to the interposer bottom side, the lead adjacent the base integrated circuit and entirely below the interposer; and

forming an encapsulation partially covering the lead, the encapsulation exposing and coplanar with the interposer top side; and

wherein:

attaching lead includes attaching the lead having a lead outer portion below the encapsulation.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

mounting the base integrated circuit includes mounting the base integrated circuit over the interposer, the base integrated circuit having a base peripheral side and a base pad along only the base peripheral side; and

attaching the internal electrical connector includes attaching the internal electrical connector to one of the interposer fingers and the base pad.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

providing the interposer includes providing the interposer having the interposer pads at the interposer bottom side, the interposer pads along only two of the interposer peripheral sides; and

attaching the lead includes attaching the lead to one of the interposer pads.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

attaching the lead includes attaching the leads to the interposer along only two of the interposer peripheral sides, each of the leads having a lead inner portion and a lead outer portion below the lead inner portion, the lead inner portion attached to the interposer bottom side.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

attaching a stack device to the interposer bottom side; and

attaching a stack package to the interposer top side, the stack package over the stack device.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

an interposer having interposer fingers, interposer pads, interposer peripheral sides, an interposer bottom side, and an interposer top side, wherein the interposer fingers and the interposer pads are formed as single integral structures, the interposer fingers are adjacent and along only one of the interposer peripheral sides, and the interposer pads are adjacent two of the interposer peripheral sides;

a base integrated circuit attached to the interposer bottom side;

a stack integrated circuit over the base integrated circuit, the stack into integrated circuit overhangs the base integrated circuit;

an internal electrical connector attached directly to the stack integrated circuit and the base integrated circuit;

a lead attached to the interposer bottom side, adjacent the base integrated circuit, and entirely below the interposer; and

an encapsulation partially covering the lead and exposing the interposer top side; and

wherein:

the lead includes a lead outer ion below the encapsulation.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the interposer includes the interposer pads along another of the interposer peripheral sides, wherein the interposer peripheral sides are connected to each other; and

the internal electrical connector includes the internal electrical connector attached to one of the interposer fingers and the base integrated circuit.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the interposer includes the interposer pads at the interposer bottom side; and

the lead is attached to one of the interposer pads.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the lead includes leads attached to the interposer along only two of the interposer peripheral sides.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a stack device attached to the interposer bottom side.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the encapsulation is coplanar with the interposer top side.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the base integrated circuit over the interposer, the base integrated circuit having a base peripheral side and a base pad along only the base peripheral side; and

the internal electrical connector includes the internal electrical connector attached to one of the interposer fingers and the base pad.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the interposer includes the interposer pads at the interposer bottom side, the interposer pads along only two of the interposer peripheral sides; and

the lead is attached to one of the interposer pads.
