Abstract

An integrated circuit package system that includes providing a wafer level spacer including apertures, which define unit spacers that are interconnected, and configuring the unit spacers to substantially align over devices formed within a substrate.

Claims (45)

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

providing a wafer level spacer that includes a notch for orientation and apertures, which define unit spacers joined together by material of the wafer level spacer;

configuring the unit spacers to substantially align over semiconductor chips formed within a substrate; and

dicing to form a common vertical boundary shared by the unit spacers and the devices, semiconductor chips.

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

forming the apertures to include shapes selected from circles, ellipses, rectangles, squares, or poly-sided openings.

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

forming the apertures to align with scribe lines formed on the substrate.

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

attaching each of the unit spacers to the substrate in a single step.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

providing the wafer level spacer includes a wafer selected from material that prevents warpage failure, enhances thermal dissipation, or blocks electromagnetic radiation.

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

providing a wafer level spacer including apertures that define unit spacers joined together by material of the wafer level spacer;

aligning the wafer level spacer via a notch for orientation over a substrate with semiconductor chips;

dicing the wafer level spacer and the substrate to form a common vertical boundary shared by one of the unit spacers and one of the semiconductor chips; and

forming one of the unit spacers over one of the semiconductor chips.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

aligning the wafer level spacer over the substrate forms the unit spacers over each of the semiconductor chips in a single step.

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

selecting the semiconductor chips from active components, passive components, or a combination thereof.

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

stacking a spacer-less device over one of the semiconductor chips.

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

stacking a device over one of the semiconductor chips.

11. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

a semiconductor chip having the characteristics of being singulated from a substrate;

a unit spacer over the semiconductor chip sharing a common vertical boundary with the semiconductor chip, the unit spacer having the characteristics of being singulated from a wafer level spacer including a notch for orientation; and

apertures formed along the perimeter of the unit spacer.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the apertures include shapes selected from circles, ellipses, rectangles, squares, or poly-sided openings.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the apertures align with scribe lines formed on the substrate.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the wafer level spacer includes a punch hole.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the wafer level spacer includes a wafer selected from material that prevents warpage failure, enhances thermal dissipation, or blocks electromagnetic radiation.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the semiconductor chip includes wire bond die, flip-chip die, stacked die, modular die, ASIC die, passive devices or a combination thereof.

17. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the semiconductor chip is attached to a structure.

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

a spacer-less device over the semiconductor chip.

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

a device over the semiconductor chip.
