Abstract

A package-on-package includes a package carrier; a semiconductor die assembled face-down to a chip side of the package carrier; a rewiring laminate structure between the semiconductor die and the package carrier; a plurality of bumps arranged on the rewiring laminate structure for electrically connecting the semiconductor die with the package carrier; and an IC package mounted on the package carrier. The IC package and the semiconductor die are at least partially overlapped.

Claims (42)
