Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing a stack board; connecting a device over the stack board; forming a stack encapsulant having a cavity and a pedestal over the device and having a shaped perimeter side from a pedestal surface of the pedestal to the stack board; and attaching a stack adhesive to a base package and the pedestal, the cavity and the shaped perimeter side providing a space for connections to the stack board.

Claims (34)

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

providing a stack board;

connecting a device over the stack board;

forming a stack encapsulant having a cavity and a pedestal over the device and having a shaped perimeter side from a pedestal surface of the pedestal to the stack board;

forming a base package having an upper integrated circuit and a package substrate;

attaching a stack adhesive to the base package and the pedestal, the cavity and the shaped perimeter side providing a space for connections to the stack board; and

connecting an internal interconnect to the upper integrated circuit and the package substrate, a portion of the internal interconnect within the cavity of the stack encapsulant.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the stack encapsulant includes forming the shaped perimeter side having a curved shape.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the stack encapsulant with the shaped perimeter side includes forming the shaped perimeter side with multiple sides.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming a package encapsulant over a portion of the stack board.

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

providing a stack board;

connecting a device over the stack board;

forming a stack encapsulant having a cavity and a pedestal over the device and having a shaped perimeter side from a pedestal surface of the pedestal to the stack board;

forming a base package having an upper integrated circuit, a spacer, and a package substrate;

attaching a stack adhesive to the base package and the pedestal, the cavity and the shaped perimeter side providing a space for connections to the stack board;

connecting an internal interconnect between the upper integrated circuit and the package substrate the internal interconnect next to the spacer;

attaching a vertical interconnect between the stack board and the base package; and

forming a package encapsulant over the vertical interconnect, over the base package, over the stack board, and surrounding the stack encapsulant.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein attaching the stack adhesive includes attaching the stack adhesive having a thickness less than 50 micrometers.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein forming the stack encapsulant with the shaped perimeter side includes forming the shaped perimeter side having a first vertical side, a horizontal side, and a second vertical side joined with one another.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein forming the package encapsulant includes forming the package encapsulant with a portion of the stack board substantially exposed.

9. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising: a stack board; a device connected over the stack board; a stack encapsulant formed with a cavity and a pedestal, over the device and with a shaped perimeter side of the stack encapsulant from a pedestal surface of the pedestal to the stack board; a stack adhesive attached over the pedestal; a base package having an upper integrated circuit and a package substrate attached over the stack adhesive and with a space for connections to the stack board; and an internal interconnect to the upper integrated circuit and the package substrate, a portion of the internal interconnect within the cavity of the stack encapsulant.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the stack adhesive has a thickness less than 85 micrometers.

11. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the shaped perimeter side is formed with multiple sides.

12. The system as claimed in claim 9 further comprising a package encapsulant formed over portions of the stack board.

13. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the stack encapsulant is formed having a spacing from the base package.

14. The system as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:

a vertical interconnect between the stack board and the base package; and

a package encapsulant over the vertical interconnect, over the base package, over the stack board, and surrounding the stack encapsulant.

15. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the stack adhesive is less than 50 micrometers thick.

16. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the shaped perimeter side has a first vertical side, a horizontal side, and a second vertical side joined with one another.

17. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the package encapsulant is formed with a portion of the stack board substantially exposed.

18. The system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the shaped perimeter side has a space for an internal interconnect.
