Abstract

An integrated circuit package system includes: connecting a first interconnect between a carrier and a bottom integrated circuit thereover; forming a film, having an overhang portion, over the bottom integrated circuit with the overhang portion over the first interconnect; mounting a top integrated circuit over the film; connecting a second interconnect between the top integrated circuit and the carrier with the overhang portion between the first interconnect and the second interconnect; and forming an encapsulation over the carrier covering the top integrated circuit, the film, the first interconnect, and the second interconnect.

Claims (41)

1. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

connecting a first interconnect between a carrier and a bottom integrated circuit thereover;

forming a film over the bottom integrated circuit, the film having an overhang portion cantilevered over the first interconnect;

mounting a top integrated circuit over the film;

connecting a second interconnect between the top integrated circuit and the carrier with the overhang portion in direct contact with the first interconnect and the second interconnect; and

forming an encapsulation over the carrier covering the top integrated circuit, the film, the first interconnect, and the second interconnect.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the film having the overhang portion includes forming a curved portion overhanging the bottom integrated circuit.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the film having the overhang portion over the bottom integrated circuit includes overhanging the overhang portion over an edge of the bottom integrated circuit.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the film having the overhang portion over the bottom integrated circuit includes covering the first interconnect over the bottom integrated circuit with the film.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the top integrated circuit over the film includes mounting the top integrated circuit over the bottom integrated circuit with the bottom integrated circuit horizontally extending beyond the top integrated circuit.

6. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

mounting a bottom integrated circuit over a carrier;

connecting a first interconnect between the bottom integrated circuit and the carrier;

forming a film over the bottom integrated circuit, the film having an overhang portion cantilevered over and on the first interconnect;

mounting a top integrated circuit over the film and the bottom integrated circuit;

connecting a second interconnect between the top integrated circuit and the carrier with the overhang portion in direct contact with the first interconnect and the second interconnect; and

forming an encapsulation over the carrier covering the top integrated circuit, the film, the first interconnect, the second interconnect, and the bottom integrated circuit.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the film having the overhang portion includes forming an adhesive film having a curved portion.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein connecting the first interconnect between the bottom integrated circuit and the carrier includes connecting a wire between the bottom integrated circuit and the carrier.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein connecting the second interconnect between the top integrated circuit and the carrier includes connecting a wire between the top integrated circuit and the carrier.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising attaching an external interconnect to and below the carrier.

11. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

a carrier;

a bottom integrated circuit over the carrier;

a first interconnect between the carrier and the bottom integrated circuit;

a film over the bottom integrated circuit, the film having an overhang portion cantilevered over the first interconnect;

a top integrated circuit over the film;

a second interconnect between the top integrated circuit and the carrier with the overhang portion in direct contact with the first interconnect and the second interconnect; and

an encapsulation over the carrier covering the top integrated circuit, the film, the first interconnect, and the second interconnect.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the film having the overhang portion includes a curved portion overhanging the bottom integrated circuit.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the film having the overhang portion over the bottom integrated circuit includes the overhang portion over an edge of the bottom integrated circuit.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the film having the overhang portion over the bottom integrated circuit includes the film over the first interconnect over the bottom integrated circuit.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the top integrated circuit over the film includes the top integrated circuit over the bottom integrated circuit with the bottom integrated circuit horizontally extending beyond the top integrated circuit.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the top integrated circuit is over the bottom integrated circuit;

the film is on the first interconnect; and

the encapsulation is over the bottom integrated circuit.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the film includes an adhesive film.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the first interconnect includes a wire.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the second interconnect includes a wire.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising an external interconnect attached to and below the carrier.
