Abstract

A package stacking system includes: providing a package substrate; mounting an integrated circuit over the package substrate; forming a step-down interposer over the integrated circuit; and molding a stack package body, having a step profile, on the package substrate and the step-down interposer.

Claims (22)

1. A method of manufacture of a package stacking system comprising:

providing a package substrate including forming a component contact, a system contact, and coupling a system interconnect to the system contact;

mounting an integrated circuit over the package substrate including forming a first package body on the integrated circuit and the package substrate;

forming a step-down interposer over the integrated circuit including applying a package adhesive between the step-down interposer and the first package body; and

molding a stack package body, having a step profile, on the package substrate and the step-down interposer including covering a step formed in the step-down interposer.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising coupling an electrical interconnect between the package substrate and the step-down interposer including coupling a step contact to the component contact on the package substrate.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising coupling a flip chip integrated circuit to the step-down interposer including coupling an external component contact on the step-down interposer for forming an electrical connection between the flip chip integrated circuit, the integrated circuit, the system interconnect, or a combination thereof.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising coupling a first integrated circuit package to the step-down interposer including coupling a second integrated circuit, a discrete component, or a combination thereof.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising coupling an oversized integrated circuit package to the step-down interposer including positioning an adhesive dot between the stack package body and the oversized integrated circuit package.

6. A package stacking system comprising:

a package substrate including a component contact, a system contact, and a system interconnect coupled to the system contact;

an integrated circuit over the package substrate with a first package body on the integrated circuit and the package substrate;

a step-down interposer over the integrated circuit with a package adhesive between the step-down interposer and the first package body; and

a stack package body, having a step profile, molded on the package substrate and the step-down interposer with a step formed in the step-down interposer covered by the stack package body.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising an electrical interconnect between the package substrate and the step-down interposer.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a flip chip integrated circuit coupled to the step-down interposer.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a first integrated circuit package coupled to the step-down interposer.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising an oversized integrated circuit package coupled to the step-down interposer.

11. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising an electrical interconnect between the package substrate and the step-down interposer includes a step contact coupled to the component contact on the package substrate.

12. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a flip chip integrated circuit coupled to the step-down interposer includes an external component contact on the step-down interposer for forming an electrical connection between the flip chip integrated circuit, the integrated circuit, the system interconnect, or a combination thereof.

13. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a first integrated circuit package coupled to the step-down interposer includes a second integrated circuit, a discrete component, or a combination thereof coupled to the step-down interposer.

14. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising an oversized integrated circuit package coupled to the step-down interposer includes an adhesive dot between the stack package body and the oversized integrated circuit package.
