Stacked semiconductor die assemblies with die support members and associated systems and methods
View Patent ↗Stacked semiconductor die assemblies with die support members and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor die assembly can include a package substrate, a first semiconductor die attached to the package substrate, and a support member attached to the package substrate. The support member can be separated from the first semiconductor die, and a second semiconductor die can have one region coupled to the support member and another region coupled to the first semiconductor die.
1. A semiconductor die assembly, comprising:
a package substrate;
a first support member on the package substrate including a first elongate member having a length greater than a width;
a second support member on the package substrate including a second elongate member having a length greater than a width, wherein the length of the second elongate member is generally perpendicular to the length of the first elongate member;
a controller die on the package substrate and spaced laterally apart from the support member; and
a memory die mounted to the first and second support members and the controller die,
wherein the controller die is partially superimposed within a footprint of the memory die.
2. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 1 wherein the semiconductor die assembly further comprises a third elongate member on the package substrate that extends between the first elongate member and the controller die.
3. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 1 wherein the first elongate member includes silicon.
4. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 1 wherein the memory die is a first memory die, and wherein the semiconductor die assembly further includes a second memory die stacked upon the first memory die.
5. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 4 wherein:
the first memory die includes a plurality of bond pads; and
the second memory die is staggered relative to the first memory die such that the bond pads are expose on at least one side of the first memory die.
6. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit component positioned below the memory die and at least partially within the footprint of the memory die, wherein the circuit component is separated from the controller die on the package substrate.
7. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 6 wherein the circuit component is a capacitor.
8. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second elongate members include silicon.
9. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second support members have generally the same height.
10. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second support members are attached to the memory die via a die-attach material.
11. A semiconductor die assembly, comprising:
a package substrate including a plurality of bond pads;
a support member on the package substrate;
a first semiconductor die on the package substrate and spaced laterally apart from the support member;
a second semiconductor die mounted to the support member and the first semiconductor die, wherein the first semiconductor die is partially superimposed within a footprint of the second semiconductor die;
a third semiconductor die mounted to the second semiconductor die;
a wirebond connector connecting a bond pad of the package substrate to the second semiconductor die; and
a die-attach material extending between the second and third semiconductor dies, wherein a portion of the wirebond extends through the die-attach material.
12. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 11 wherein the first and second semiconductor dies have the same dimensions and are arranged in a stack.
13. The semiconductor die assembly of claim 11 wherein the die-attach material is a first die-attach material, and wherein the semiconductor die assembly further comprises a second die-attach material extending between the support member and the second semiconductor die, and wherein the first die-attach material has a greater thickness than the second die-attach material.
