Abstract

A method for manufacturing a stacked integrated circuit and package system includes: attaching a high temperature resistant layer on a top substrate; mounting a first top integrated circuit on the high temperature resistant layer; mounting a second top integrated circuit on the first top integrated circuit; molding an encapsulant over the first top integrated circuit, the second top integrated circuit and the top substrate; mounting a third top integrated circuit over the first top integrated circuit on a surface opposite the second top integrated circuit; mounting a fourth top integrated circuit on the third top integrated circuit; molding an encapsulant over the third top integrated circuit, the fourth top integrated circuit and the top substrate; forming top electrical connectors on a lower surface of the top substrate; and mounting a bottom package to the top electrical connectors.

Claims (45)

molding an encapsulant over the first top integrated circuit, the second top integrated circuit and the top substrate;

mounting a third top integrated circuit over the first top integrated circuit on a surface opposite the second top integrated circuit;

mounting a fourth top integrated circuit on the third top integrated circuit;

molding an encapsulant over the third top integrated circuit, the fourth top integrated circuit and the top substrate;

forming top electrical connectors on a lower surface of the top substrate so a flattened side of the electrical connector is coplanar with a side of the first top integrated circuit and a side of the third top integrated circuit; and

mounting a bottom package to the top electrical connectors.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the bottom package further comprises:

attaching a temporary layer on a bottom substrate;

mounting a first bottom integrated circuit on the temporary layer; and

mounting a second bottom integrated circuit on the first bottom integrated circuit.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the bottom package further comprises:

attaching a temporary layer on a bottom substrate; and

mounting a bottom integrated circuit on the temporary layer.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein mounting the bottom package further comprises forming bottom electrical connectors with smaller dimensions than the top electrical connectors dimensions.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein attaching the first high temperature resistant layer further comprises attaching the first high temperature resistant layer on an upper surface of the top substrate.

6. A stacked integrated circuit and package system comprising:

a first top integrated circuit located within a top substrate;

a second top integrated circuit located on a surface opposite of an active area of the top substrate of the first top integrated circuit;
