Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing a substrate; attaching an interconnect to the substrate; encapsulating the interconnect with an encapsulation leaving a portion of the interconnect not encapsulated; attaching a joint to the interconnect and simultaneously creating a coined-surface of the interconnect contacting the joint; and attaching an integrated circuit to the substrate.

Claims (66)

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

providing a substrate;

attaching an interconnect to the substrate;

encapsulating the interconnect with an encapsulation leaving a portion of the interconnect not encapsulated;

attaching a joint to the interconnect and simultaneously creating a coined-surface of the interconnect contacting the joint; and

attaching an integrated circuit to the substrate.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the joint includes displacing material of the interconnect to laterally press against the encapsulation.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the joint creating the coined-surface of the interconnect includes creating a first coined-surface of the interconnect; and

further comprising:

forming a second coined-surface of the joint when mounting the joint to the interconnect, and the second coined-surface is in direct contact with the first coined-surface of the interconnect.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the joint includes attaching a t-shaped joint, a flat-shaped joint, a diamond-shaped joint, or a combination thereof.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

attaching the joint creating the coined-surface of the interconnect includes creating part of the coined-surface in direct contact with a horizontal portion of the joint, coplanar with a top surface of the encapsulation.

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

providing a substrate having a perimeter and a center portion;

attaching an interconnect to the substrate;

encapsulating the interconnect with an encapsulation leaving a portion of the interconnect not encapsulated;

attaching a joint to the interconnect and simultaneously creating a coined-surface of the interconnect contacting the joint; and

attaching an integrated circuit to the center portion of the substrate.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

encapsulating includes leaving the center-portion of the substrate exposed from the encapsulation.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

attaching the integrated circuit includes attaching a flip chip electrically connected to the substrate by solder balls; and

further comprising:

underfilling between the flip chip and the substrate with an under-fill.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

encapsulating the interconnect leaving the portion of the interconnect exposed from the encapsulation includes encapsulating 40 to 70 percent of the height of the interconnect.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

attaching the joint includes attaching the joint having a pointy tip submerged in the interconnect.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

attaching the interconnect includes forming the interconnect of copper, gold, or silver studs, pillars, stacks of solder balls, or combinations thereof.

12 . An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a substrate;

an interconnect attached to the substrate;

an encapsulation that encapsulates the interconnect;

a joint attached to the interconnect with a coined-surface of the interconnect; and

an integrated circuit attached to the substrate.

13 . The system as claimed in claim 12 wherein:

the joint displaces material of the interconnect to laterally press against the encapsulation.

14 . The system as claimed in claim 12 wherein:

the coined-surface of the interconnect is a first coined-surface of the interconnect; and

further comprising:

a second coined-surface of the joint in direct contact with the first coined-surface of the interconnect.

15 . The system as claimed in claim 12 wherein:

the joint is a t-shaped joint, a flat-shaped joint, a diamond-shaped joint, or a combination thereof.

16 . The system as claimed in claim 12 wherein:

the coined-surface of the interconnect has part of the coined-surface in direct contact with a horizontal portion of the joint, coplanar with a top surface of the encapsulation.

17 . The system as claimed in claim 12 further comprising:

a perimeter and a center portion of the substrate; and

wherein:

the integrated circuit is attached to the center portion of the substrate.

18 . The system as claimed in claim 17 wherein:

the center-portion of the substrate is exposed from the encapsulation.

19 . The system as claimed in claim 17 wherein:

the integrated circuit is a flip chip electrically connected to the substrate with solder balls; and

further comprising:

an under-fill that fills between the flip chip and the substrate.

20 . The system as claimed in claim 17 wherein:

the coined-surface of the interconnect is in direct contact only with a pavilion poriton of the joint.

21 . The system as claimed in claim 17 wherein:

the joint has a pointy tip submerged in the interconnect.

22 . The system as claimed in claim 17 wherein:

the interconnect is formed of copper, gold, or silver studs, pillars, stacks of solder balls, or combinations thereof.
