Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit package system that includes: providing an electrical interconnect system including an inner lead-finger system and an outer lead-finger system; stacking a first device, a second device, and a third device between and over the electrical interconnect system; connecting the first device and the second device to the inner lead-finger system; and connecting the third device to the outer lead-finger system.

Claims (43)

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

providing an electrical interconnect system including an inner lead-finger system and an outer lead-finger system;

stacking a first device, a second device, and a third device between and over the electrical interconnect system;

connecting the first device and the second device to the inner lead-finger system; and

connecting the third device to the outer lead-finger system.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

providing the electrical interconnect system includes half etching or stamping the electrical interconnect system to form the inner lead-finger system.

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

exposing a first device backside to an external environment.

4. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit package system comprising:

providing an electrical interconnect system including an inner lead-finger system and an outer lead-finger system over a support medium;

attaching a first device to the support medium within an opening defined by the inner lead-finger system;

connecting the first device to the inner lead-finger system;

connecting a second device to the inner lead-finger system;

attaching a third device to the second device;

connecting the third device to the outer lead-finger system;

removing the support medium; and

encapsulating the integrated circuit package system.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 wherein:

providing the electrical interconnect system includes providing the inner lead-finger system with a wire bond contact and a bump contact.

6. The method as claimed in claim 4 wherein:

providing the electrical interconnect system includes providing the inner lead-finger system with a bump contact formed by a mesa and a groove.

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

forming an inter-device structure between the third device and the second device.

8. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

an electrical interconnect system including an inner lead-finger system and an outer lead-finger system;

a first device, a second device, and a third device between and over the electrical interconnect system;

the first device and the second device electrically connected to the inner lead-finger system; and

the third device electrically connected to the outer lead-finger system.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein:

the second device is a flip-chip device.

10. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein:

the inner lead-finger system has a portion removed within the thickness direction.

11. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein:

the first device includes a first device backside exposed to an external environment.

12. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein:

the inner lead-finger system includes a wire bond contact and a bump contact.

13. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein:

the inner lead-finger system includes a bump contact formed by a mesa and a groove.

14. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein:

the first device is within an opening in the electrical interconnect system.

15. The system as claimed in claim 8 further comprising:

an inter-device structure between the third device and the second device.
