Abstract

A package-on-package system includes: providing a base substrate; mounting an integrated circuit on the base substrate; positioning a stacking interposer over the integrated circuit; and forming a heat spreader base around the integrated circuit by coupling the base substrate and the stacking interposer to the heat spreader base.

Claims (35)

1. A package-on-package system including:

providing a base substrate;

mounting an integrated circuit on the base substrate;

positioning a stacking interposer over the integrated circuit including electrically connecting the stacking interposer to the base substrate; and

forming a heat spreader base around the integrated circuit by coupling the base substrate and the stacking interposer to the heat spreader base.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming a base package body by injecting a molding compound on the base substrate, the integrated circuit, the heat spreader base, and the stacking interposer.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the heat spreader base around the integrated circuit including fabricating formed corner supports, on the heat spreader base, around the integrated circuit.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming a base substrate contact on the heat spreader base for coupling the base substrate.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising mounting a top package on the stacking interposer for coupling the integrated circuit, the base substrate, or a combination thereof.

6. A package-on-package system including:

providing a base substrate including forming a component contact on a component side coupled to a system interconnect on a system side;

mounting an integrated circuit on the base substrate including coupling an electrical interconnect, a chip interconnect, or a combination thereof between the integrated circuit and the base substrate;

positioning a stacking interposer over the integrated circuit including electrically connecting the stacking interposer to the base substrate; and

forming a heat spreader base around the integrated circuit by coupling the base substrate and the stacking interposer to the heat spreader base including forming an electro-magnetic interference shield by coupling a supply voltage to the system interconnect and the component contact to the heat spreader base.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising forming a base package body by injecting a molding compound on the base substrate, the integrated circuit, the heat spreader base, and the stacking interposer including exposing a lateral side and a top surface contact for conducting heat away from the integrated circuit.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the heat spreader base around the integrated circuit including fabricating formed corner supports, on the heat spreader base, around the integrated circuit includes forming a stiffener between the formed corner supports for shielding the integrated circuit.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising forming a base substrate contact on the heat spreader base for coupling the base substrate including forming support members having interposer contacts for coupling the stacking interposer.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising mounting a top package on the stacking interposer for coupling the integrated circuit, the base substrate, or a combination thereof including forming a heat spreader cover, over the top package, for coupling to the heat spreader base.

11. A package-on-package system including:

a base substrate;

an integrated circuit on the base substrate;

a stacking interposer over the integrated circuit includes the stacking interposer electrically connected to the base substrate; and

a heat spreader base around the integrated circuit coupled to the base substrate and the stacking interposer.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a base package body on the base substrate, the integrated circuit, the heat spreader base, and the stacking interposer.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the heat spreader base around the integrated circuit has formed corner supports.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a base substrate contact on the heat spreader base coupled to the base substrate.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a top package on the stacking interposer coupled to the integrated circuit, the base substrate, or a combination thereof.

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

a component contact on a component side coupled to a system interconnect on a system side of the base substrate;

an electrical interconnect, a chip interconnect, or a combination thereof between the integrated circuit and the base substrate; and

an electro-magnetic interference shield around the integrated circuit by a supply voltage coupled to the system interconnect and the component contact coupled to the heat spreader base.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a base package body on the base substrate, the integrated circuit, the heat spreader base, and the stacking interposer includes a lateral side and a top surface contact exposed for conducting heat away from the integrated circuit.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the heat spreader base around the integrated circuit has formed corner supports includes a stiffener between the formed corner supports for shielding the integrated circuit.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a base substrate contact on the heat spreader base coupled to the base substrate and support members with interposer contacts coupled to the stacking interposer.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a top package on the stacking interposer coupled to the integrated circuit, the base substrate, or a combination thereof includes a heat spreader cover, over the top package, coupled to the heat spreader base.
