Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing a substrate; attaching a device to the substrate; providing interconnects on the substrate; and forming a flexible tape substantially conformal to the device and contacting the interconnects.

Claims (52)

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

providing a substrate;

attaching a device to the substrate;

providing an interconnect on the substrate; and

applying a flexible tape over the device and contacting the interconnect, the flexible tape bent over an edge of the device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

providing the substrate includes providing an interposer.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

applying the flexible tape includes the flexible tape having a slot adjacent and parallel to a side of the device.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing an underfill between the device and the substrate.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the device to the substrate includes attaching one or more active devices, passive devices, or a combination thereof.

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

providing a substrate including a first side opposing a second side;

attaching a device to the first side of the substrate;

providing an interconnect on the first side of the substrate and an external terminal on the second side; and

applying a flexible tape in a step shaped configuration over the device and contacting the interconnect, the flexible tape bent over an edge of the device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

applying the flexible tape includes configuring the flexible tape to include a first side with a first plane and a second plane.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

providing a stiffener formed over the flexible tape.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

providing a second package over and electrically contacting the flexible tape.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

providing a second package over and electrically contacting the flexible tape through intermediate conductors.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a substrate;

a device over the substrate;

an interconnect on the substrate; and

a flexible tape over the device and contacting the interconnect, the flexible tape bent over an edge of the device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the substrate includes an interposer.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the flexible tape includes the flexible tape having a slot adjacent and parallel to a side of the device.

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

an underfill between the device and the substrate.

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

an adhesive between the device and the flexible tape.

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

the substrate including a first side opposing a second side;

the device over the first side of the substrate;

the interconnect connected on the first side of the substrate and an external terminal connected on the second side; and

the flexible tape configured in a step shape.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein:

the flexible tape further includes a first side with a first plane and a second plane.

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

a stiffener over the flexible tape.

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

a second package over and electrically contacting the flexible tape.

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

a second package over and electrically contacting the flexible tape through intermediate conductors.
