Abstract

A packaging system comprising: forming terminal leads; configuring a cavity by partially encapsulating the terminal leads with a compound; attaching an integrated circuit device, a micro-electromechanical system, a micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof in the cavity; and bonding a cover to the terminal leads for enclosing the cavity.

Claims (41)

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

forming terminal bent providing a vertical displacement from a bottom contact plane;

configuring a compound and the terminal leads to have a cavity by partially encapsulating the terminal leads with the compound including molding the compound on and between the terminal leads;

attaching an integrated circuit device, a micro-electromechanical system, a micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof in the cavity by electrically connecting the integrated circuit device, the micro-electromechanical system, the micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof to the terminal leads;

applying a non-conductive adhesive on the terminal leads; and

bonding a cover to the terminal leads with the non-conductive adhesive isolating the terminal leads from the cover enclosing the cavity with the non-conductive adhesive between the terminal leads, the compound, and the cover, with the compound and the terminal leads entirely under the cover and not visible when looking at the cover.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein configuring the compound includes encapsulating the terminal leads to form a vent therebetween.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein configuring the compound includes molding the compound around the terminal leads leaving a portion of the terminal leads exposed forming a leadless package.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

bonding the cover to the terminal leads includes bonding a conductive laminate substrate to the terminal leads; and

further comprising:

forming a conductive interconnect between the terminal leads and the conductive laminate substrate above, below, or both above and below the cavity; and

mounting an additional integrated circuit device, and additional micro-electromechanical system, an additional micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof on the conductive laminate substrate.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein configuring the compound includes creating a recess on a bottom side thereof.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein bonding the cover includes bonding the cover having an acoustic orifice.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein configuring the compound by partially encapsulating the terminal leads with the compound includes molding the compound around the terminal leads leaving a portion of the terminal leads exposed forming a leadless package including having a top contact pad and the bottom contact plane in which the terminal leads are plated with solder, nickel, palladium, or gold.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

bonding the cover to the terminal leads includes bonding a conductive laminate substrate to the terminal leads including applying the conductive laminate substrate having a bottom contact pad, a conductive link, and a top contact pad; and further comprising:

forming a conductive interconnect between the terminal leads and the conductive laminate substrate above, below, or both above and below the cavity; and

mounting an additional integrated circuit package, an additional MEMS package, an additional micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof on the conductive laminate substrate including mounting the additional integrated circuit package, the additional MEMS package, the additional micro-mechanical system, or the combination thereof on the top contact pad.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein configuring the compound includes forming the terminal leads having a recess on a bottom side thereof including positioning a mounting pad vertically displaced from the bottom contact plane.

10. A packaging system comprising:

terminal leads bent providing a vertical displacement from a bottom contact plane;

a compound and the terminal leads configured to have a cavity by partially encapsulating the terminal leads with the compound, with the compound molded on and between the terminal leads;

an integrated circuit device, a micro-electromechanical system, a micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof attached in the cavity and electrically connected to the terminal leads;

a non-conductive adhesive on the terminal leads; and

a cover bonded to the terminal leads with the non-conductive adhesive and electrically isolated from the terminal leads enclosing the cavity by the non-conductive adhesive applied between the terminal leads, the compound, and the cover, with the compound and the terminal leads entirely under the cover and not visible when looking at the cover.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the terminal leads have a vent therebetween.

12. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the terminal leads are partially encapsulated with the compound molded around the terminal leads with a portion of the terminal leads exposed forming a leadless package.

13. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein:

the cover bonded to the terminal leads includes a conductive laminate substrate bonded to the terminal leads;

further comprising a conductive interconnect formed between the terminal leads and the conductive laminate substrate above, below, or both above and below the cavity; and

an additional integrated circuit device, an additional micro-electromechanical system, an additional micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof mounted on the conductive laminate substrate.

14. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the terminal leads and the compound are configured having a recess on the bottom side thereof.

15. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the cover includes an acoustic orifice.

16. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the terminal leads partially encapsulated with the compound includes the compound molded around the terminal leads with a portion of the terminal leads left exposed forms a leadless package including having a top contact pad and the bottom contact plane in which the terminal leads are plated with solder, nickel palladium, or gold.

17. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein:

the cover bonded to the terminal leads includes a conductive laminate substrate bonded to the terminal leads, the conductive laminate substrate having a bottom contact pad, a conductive link, and a top contact pad;

further comprising a conductive interconnect formed between the terminal leads and the conductive laminate substrate above, below, or both above and below the cavity; and

an additional integrated circuit device, an additional micro-electromechanical system, an additional micro-mechanical system, or a combination thereof mounted on the conductive laminate substrate includes a package-on-package configuration.

18. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the terminal leads and the compound have a recess on a bottom side thereof and includes a mounting pad vertically displaced from the bottom contact plane.
