Abstract

A integrated circuit package on package system is provided including providing a base substrate having a base stackable connection, attaching a base integrated circuit on the base substrate, forming a stackable package including the base integrated circuit encapsulated with the base stackable connection partially exposed, and attaching a bottom package on the stackable package.

Claims (61)

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

providing a base substrate having a stackable connection;

attaching a base integrated circuit on the base substrate, a base connect side of the base integrated circuit facing away from and connected to the base substrate;

forming a stackable package including the base integrated circuit encapsulated with the stackable connection partially exposed; and

attaching a bottom package on the stackable package, the bottom package having:

a substrate with a top surface,

an integrated circuit die mounted on the top surface of the substrate, a die connect side of the integrated circuit die connected to the top surface and facing the base connect side of the base integrated circuit of the stackable package, and

a completely unencapsulated bottom connection, extending above the integrated circuit die, in direct contact with the top surface and the stackable connection of the stackable package.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising attaching the stackable package on another of the stackable package.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the stackable package includes:

attaching a second integrated circuit on a side opposite the base integrated circuit of the base substrate; and

applying an encapsulant over the second integrated circuit with the stackable connection partially exposed.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the stackable package includes:

providing a second substrate having a second stackable connection;

attaching a second integrated circuit on the second substrate;

applying a second encapsulant over the second integrated circuit having the second stackable connection partially exposed; and

attaching the second substrate over the base substrate with the stackable connection and the second stackable connection partially exposed.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the stackable package includes:

providing a second substrate;

attaching a second integrated circuit and a third integrated circuit over the second substrate; and

connecting the second substrate over the base substrate with the stackable connection partially exposed.

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

forming a base substrate having a stackable connection;

attaching an electrical connector to a base connect side of a base integrated circuit and the base substrate, the base connect side of the base integrated circuit facing away from the base substrate;

applying an encapsulant over the base integrated circuit with the stackable connection partially exposed to form a stackable package; and

mounting a bottom package on the stackable package, the bottom package having:

a substrate with a top surface,

an integrated circuit die mounted on the top surface of the substrate, a die connect side of the integrated circuit die connected to the top surface and facing the base connect side of the base integrated circuit of the stackable package, and

a completely unencapsulated bottom connection, extending above the integrated circuit die, in direct contact with the top surface and the stackable connection of the stackable package.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein applying the encapsulant includes applying a single-side molding.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein applying the encapsulant includes applying a double-side molding.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising attaching the stackable connection of the stackable package on another of the stackable connection of another of the stackable package.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising mounting a top package on the stackable connection of the stackable package.

11. An integrated circuit package on package system comprising:

a base substrate having a stackable connection;

a base integrated circuit on the base substrate with a base connect side of the base substrate facing away from and connected to the base substrate;

a stackable package including the base integrated circuit encapsulated with the stackable connection partially exposed; and

a bottom package on the stackable package, the bottom package having:

a substrate with a top surface,

an integrated circuit die mounted on the top surface of the substrate, a die connect side of the integrated circuit die connected to the top surface and facing the base connect side of the base integrated circuit of the stackable package, and

a completely unencapsulated bottom connection extends above the integrated circuit die and is in direct contact with the top surface and the stackable connection of the stackable package.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising the stackable package on another of the stackable package.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the stackable package includes:

a second integrated circuit on a side opposite the base integrated circuit of the base substrate; and

the encapsulant over the second integrated circuit with the stackable connection partially exposed.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the stackable package includes:

a second substrate having a second stackable connection;

a second integrated circuit on the second substrate;

a second encapsulant over the second integrated circuit having the second stackable connection partially exposed; and

the second substrate over the base substrate with the stackable connection and the second stackable connection partially exposed.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the stackable package includes:

a second substrate;

a second integrated circuit and a third integrated circuit over the second substrate; and

the second substrate over the base substrate with the stackable connection partially exposed.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the base integrated circuit includes an electrical connector attached to a base connect side of the base integrated circuit and the base substrate; and

the stackable package includes an encapsulant over the base integrated circuit with the stackable connection partially exposed.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the encapsulant includes a single-side molding.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the encapsulant includes a double-side molding.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising the stackable connection of the stackable package on another of the stackable connection of another of the stackable package.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a top package on the stackable connection of the stackable package.
