Abstract

An integrated circuit package system includes: a semiconductor chip; a stress-relieving layer on the semiconductor chip; an adhesion layer on the stress relieving layer; and electrical interconnects bonded to the adhesion layer.

Claims (33)

1. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

a semiconductor chip;

a stress-relieving layer on the semiconductor chip;

an adhesion layer on the stress relieving layer;

electrical interconnects bonded to the adhesion layer; and

an additional stress-relieving layer on the adhesion layer and attached between the electrical interconnects.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the adhesion layer is on selected regions of the stress-relieving layer adjacent the diced sides of the semiconductor chip; and

the semiconductor chip is mounted by the adhesion layer on the electrical interconnects.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the adhesion layer is thicker than the stress-relieving layer; and

the adhesion layer on the electrical interconnects and over the sides thereof.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the additional stress-relieving layer holds the semiconductor chip over the electrical interconnects.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

bond wires electrically connecting the semiconductor chip to the electrical interconnects; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the semiconductor chip, the bond wires, and the electrical interconnects.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the stress-relieving layer is a low modulus stress-relieving layer;

the adhesion layer is a high modulus adhesion layer;

the low modulus stress-relieving layer and the high modulus adhesion layer are fully cured; and

the electrical interconnects are leadfingers.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

the high modulus adhesion layer is on selected regions of the low modulus stress-relieving layer adjacent the diced sides of the semiconductor chip; and

the semiconductor chip is mounted by the high modulus adhesion layer on the leadfingers.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

the high modulus adhesion layer is thicker than the low modulus stress-relieving layer; and

the high modulus adhesion layer on the leadfingers and over the sides thereof.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

the additional stress-relieving layer holds the semiconductor chip on the leadfingers.

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

bond wires electrically connecting the semiconductor chip to the leadfingers; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the semiconductor chip, the bond wires, and the leadfingers.
