Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing a substrate; forming a component connector on the substrate; forming a resist layer on the substrate with the component connector exposed; forming a vertical insertion cavity in the resist layer, the vertical insertion cavity isolated from the component connector or a further vertical insertion cavity, the vertical insertion cavity having a cavity side that is orthogonal to the substrate; forming a rounded interconnect in the vertical insertion cavity, the rounded interconnect nonconformal to the vertical insertion cavity; and mounting an integrated circuit device on the component connector.

Claims (37)

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

providing a substrate;

forming a component connector on the substrate;

forming a resist layer on the substrate with the component connector exposed;

forming a vertical insertion cavity in the resist layer, the vertical insertion cavity isolated from the component connector or a further vertical insertion cavity, the vertical insertion cavity having a cavity side that is orthogonal to the substrate;

forming a rounded interconnect adhered to the cavity side in the vertical insertion cavity and providing a cavity gap exposing the substrate between portions of the rounded interconnect opposite to and not in contact with the cavity side and the cavity side; and

mounting an integrated circuit device on the component connector.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the rounded interconnect includes forming the rounded interconnect having a cohesive surface with a curved shape.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the integrated circuit device includes mounting the integrated circuit device adjacent the resist layer.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the rounded interconnect includes forming a portion of the rounded interconnect opposite to and not in contact with the resist layer and the substrate.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising applying an encapsulation over the integrated circuit device.

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

providing a substrate;

forming a component connector on the substrate;

forming a resist layer on the substrate with the component connector exposed;

forming a vertical insertion cavity in the resist layer, the vertical insertion cavity having sides orthogonal to the substrate and isolated from the component connector or a further vertical insertion cavity, the vertical insertion cavity having a cavity side that is orthogonal to the substrate;

forming a rounded interconnect adhered to the cavity side in the vertical insertion cavity and providing a cavity gap exposing the substrate between portions of the rounded interconnect opposite to and not in contact with the cavity side and the cavity side; and

mounting an integrated circuit device on the component connector adjacent the vertical insertion cavity.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the rounded interconnect includes forming the rounded interconnect having a cohesive surface with an elliptical shape.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the vertical insertion cavity in the resist layer includes forming the vertical insertion cavity to expose the substrate.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the rounded interconnect includes forming a portion of the rounded interconnect opposite to and not in contact with the vertical insertion cavity in the resist layer or the substrate.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising applying an encapsulation over the integrated circuit device, the encapsulation conforming to the substrate.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a substrate;

a component connector on the substrate;

a resist layer having a vertical insertion cavity on the substrate, the component connector exposed from the resist layer, the vertical insertion cavity isolated from the component connector or a further vertical insertion cavity, the vertical insertion cavity having a cavity side that is orthogonal to the substrate;

a rounded interconnect adhered to the cavity side in the vertical insertion cavity and to provide a cavity gap between portions of the rounded interconnect opposite to and not in contact with the cavity side and the cavity side; and

an integrated circuit device on the component connector.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the rounded interconnect includes the rounded interconnect having a cohesive surface with a curved shape.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the integrated circuit device includes the integrated circuit device mounted adjacent the resist layer.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the rounded interconnect includes a portion of the rounded interconnect opposite to and not in contact with the resist layer and the substrate.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising an encapsulation over the integrated circuit device.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the integrated circuit device is adjacent to the vertical insertion cavity.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the rounded interconnect includes the rounded interconnect having a cohesive surface with an elliptical shape.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising an underfill between the integrated circuit device and the substrate.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the rounded interconnect includes a portion of the rounded interconnect opposite to and not in contact with the vertical insertion cavity in the resist layer or the substrate.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising an encapsulation over the integrated circuit device, the encapsulation conformal to the substrate.
