Abstract

A method for fabricating an encapsulant cavity integrated circuit package system includes: forming a first integrated circuit package with an inverted bottom terminal having an encapsulant cavity and an interposer, and attaching a component on the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

Claims (23)

1. A method for fabricating an encapsulant cavity integrated circuit package system comprising:

mounting a first integrated circuit on a first surface of an interposer;

molding a first encapsulant over the first integrated circuit forming a first integrated circuit package;

mounting the first integrated circuit package with an inverted bottom terminal over a substrate;

molding a second encapsulant over the first integrated circuit package with the inverted bottom terminal and the substrate forming an encapsulant cavity having a second surface of the interposer substantially exposed; and

mounting a component on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the component comprises mounting passive devices on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the component comprises attaching a leaded package on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the component comprises attaching a leadless package on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the component comprises:

mounting an optical sensor device on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity; and

attaching an optical lid over the optical sensor device and the encapsulant cavity.

6. An encapsulant cavity integrated circuit package system comprising:

a first integrated circuit package includes a first integrated circuit on a first surface of an interposer with an inverted bottom terminal; a first encapsulant over the first integrated circuit forming the first integrated circuit package; the first integrated circuit package with the inverted bottom terminal over a substrate; a second encapsulant over the first integrated circuit package with the inverted bottom terminal and the substrate forming an encapsulant cavity having a second surface of the interposer substantially exposed;

a component on the interposer in the encapsulant cavity; and the component is on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the component comprises system device packages having surface-mount package technology.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the component comprises system devices having chip-scale package technology.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the component comprises passive devices on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the component comprises a leaded package on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

11. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the component comprises a leadless package on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity.

12. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the component comprises:

an optical sensor device on the second surface of the interposer in the encapsulant cavity; and

an optical lid over the optical sensor and the encapsulant cavity.
