Abstract

An integrated circuit packaging system, and a method of manufacture thereof, including: a device formed as a die having a conductor with ends exposed on opposite sides of the die; a first surface depression on the device, the first surface depression surrounding one of the ends of the conductor exposed at a stack side of the die; a first component over and connected to the conductor, the first component surrounded by the first surface depression; and a first underfill between and in direct contact with the first component and the device, the first underfill substantially filled to a side of an inner edge and within a perimeter of the first surface depression isolated from the conductor.

Claims (61)

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

providing a device formed as a die having a conductor with ends exposed on opposite sides of the die;

forming a first surface depression on the device, the first surface depression surrounding one of the ends of the conductor exposed at a stack side of the die;

connecting a first component over the topmost portion of the stack side and to the conductor, the first component surrounded by the first surface depression; and

applying a first underfill between and in direct contact with the first component and the device, the first underfill substantially filled to a side of an inner edge and within a perimeter of the first surface depression isolated from the conductor.

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

providing another conductor, offset from the conductor, with ends exposed at opposite sides of the device;

forming a second surface depression around the another conductor and offset from the first surface depression; and

connecting a second component over and to one end of the another conductor exposed at the stack side, the second component surrounded by the second surface depression.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the first surface depression includes forming the first surface depression having a semi-circular shape.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising mounting a package substrate under the device.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising connecting a package substrate to the device.

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

providing a device formed as a die having a conductor with ends exposed on opposite sides of the die;

forming a first surface depression on the device, the first surface depression surrounding one of the ends of the conductor exposed at a stack side of the die;

connecting a first component over the topmost portion of the stack side and to the conductor, the first component surrounded by the first surface depression; and

applying a first underfill between and in direct contact with the first component and the device, the first underfill substantially filled to a side of an inner edge and within a perimeter of the first surface depression isolated from the conductor;

connecting a package substrate below the device; and

applying a base underfill between the device and the package substrate.

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

providing another conductor, offset from the conductor, with ends exposed at opposite sides of the device;

forming a second surface depression surrounding the another conductor and offset from the first surface depression;

connecting a second component over and to an end of the another conductor exposed at the stack side, the second component surrounded by the second surface depression; and

applying a second underfill between the second component and the device, the second underfill substantially filled to a side of an inner edge and within a perimeter of the second surface depression.

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

providing another conductor, offset from the conductor, with ends exposed at opposite sides of the device; and

forming a second surface depression surrounding the another conductor, the second surface depression surrounding only the another conductor.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein applying the base underfill includes applying the base underfill to surround the device and expose a portion of the package substrate surrounding the base underfill.

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

providing another conductor offset from the conductor;

connecting a second component over and to an end of the another conductor; and

wherein:

applying the base underfill includes applying the base underfill under the first component and the second component.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a device formed as a die having a conductor with ends exposed on opposite sides of the die;

a first surface depression on the device, the first surface depression surrounding one of the ends of the conductor exposed at a stack side of the die;

a first component over and connected to the conductor, the first component over the topmost portion of the stack side, and the first component surrounded by the first surface depression; and

a first underfill between and in direct contact with the first component and the device, the first underfill substantially filled to a side of an inner edge and within a perimeter of the first surface depression isolated from the conductor.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

another conductor, offset from the conductor, with ends exposed at opposite sides of the device;

a second surface depression around the another conductor and offset from the first surface depression; and

a second component over and connected to one end of the another conductor exposed at the stack side, the second component surrounded by the second surface depression.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the first surface depression has a semi-circular shape.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a package substrate under the device.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a package substrate connected to the device.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a package substrate below the device; and

a base underfill between the device and the package substrate.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

another conductor, offset from the conductor, with ends exposed at opposite sides of the device;

a second surface depression surrounding the another conductor and offset from the first surface depression;

a second component over and connected to an end of the another conductor exposed at the stack side, the second component surrounded by the second surface depression; and

a second underfill between the second component and the device, the second underfill substantially filled to a side of an inner edge and within a perimeter of the second surface depression.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

another conductor, offset from the conductor, with ends exposed at opposite sides of the device; and

a second surface depression surrounding the another conductor, the second surface depression surrounding only the another conductor.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the base underfill surrounds the device and exposes a portion of the package substrate surrounding the base underfill.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

another conductor offset from the conductor;

a second component over and connected to the end of the another conductor; and

wherein the base underfill is under the first component and the second component.
