Abstract

An integrated circuit package system and method of manufacture therefor includes providing a substrate with a beveled cavity, attaching a down-set conductive die pad with tapered sidewalls for matching with the beveled cavity in the substrate and having the down-set below a lower surface of the substrate, and attaching an integrated circuit over the down-set conductive die pad and electrically connected thereto.

Claims (42)

1. A method for manufacturing an integrated circuit package system comprising:

providing a substrate with a beveled cavity;

attaching a down-set conductive die pad with tapered sidewalls for matching with the beveled cavity in the substrate and having the down-set below a lower surface of the substrate; and

attaching an integrated circuit over the down-set conductive die pad and electrically connected thereto.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the down-set conductive die pad comprises:

forming substrate connectors having lower extents in a plane; and

forming an exposed surface of the down-set conductive die pad substantially coplanar with the plane of the lower extent of the substrate connectors.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein providing the down-set conductive die pad comprises:

forming substrate connectors having lower extents in a plane; and

forming an exposed surface of the down-set conductive die pad with an offset above the plane of the lower extent of the substrate connectors.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising attaching another integrated circuit package system over the integrated circuit package system.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising attaching passive devices on the substrate.

6. A method for manufacturing an integrated circuit package system comprising:

forming a substrate having a beveled cavity;

attaching a down-set conductive die pad with tapered sidewalls for matching with the beveled cavity of the substrate and having the down-set below a lower surface of the substrate;

attaching an integrated circuit over the down-set conductive die pad in the beveled cavity of the substrate, the integrated circuit electrically connected to the down-set conductive die pad; and

applying an encapsulant over the integrated circuit with a surface of the down-set conductive die pad exposed.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising attaching a shield over the integrated circuit for electrical shielding.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising attaching a heat sink over the integrated circuit for heat transfer.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the down-set conductive die pad comprises forming a bridge-type down-set conductive die pad providing space for the integrated circuit connection.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the down-set conductive die pad comprises forming a window-type down-set conductive die pad providing space for the integrated circuit connection.

11. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

a substrate with a beveled cavity;

a down-set conductive die pad with tapered sidewalls matched with the beveled cavity in the substrate and having the down-set below a lower surface of the substrate; and

an integrated circuit over the down-set conductive die and electrically connected thereto.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the down-set conductive die pad comprises:

substrate connectors having lower extents in a plane; and

an exposed surface of the down-set conductive die pad substantially coplanar with the plane of the lower extents of the substrate connectors.
