Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing an integrated circuit die having an active side and a passive side; providing a contact pad having a top side oriented in a same direction as the passive side; connecting an inner bond wire to the contact pad and the integrated circuit die; and molding a stacking structure around the contact pad, the inner bond wire, and the integrated circuit die with the passive side and the top side exposed, and the stacking structure having a top structure surface on top and adjacent to or below the integrated circuit die, and a horizontal member under the integrated circuit die and forming a cavity.

Claims (18)

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

providing an integrated circuit die having an active side facing down and a passive side facing up;

providing a contact pad having a top side facing up;

connecting an inner bond wire to the contact pad and the active side of the integrated circuit die with the inner bond wire extending downward from the active side and bending upward;

molding a stacking structure around the contact pad, the inner bond wire, and the integrated circuit die with the passive side and the top side exposed, and the stacking structure having a top structure surface on top and adjacent to or below the integrated circuit die, and a horizontal member under the integrated circuit die and forming a cavity;

fabricating a substrate having a top surface for mounting the stacking structure and the integrated circuit die;

attaching a bottom chip on the top surface;

mounting the stacking structure on the top surface and over the bottom chip, with a portion of the bottom chip within the cavity;

attaching a top chip to the passive side of the integrated circuit die; and

forming an encapsulation on the top surface of the substrate to enclose the top chip, the stacking structure, and the bottom chip.

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

attaching an outer bond wire between the substrate and the top chip; and wherein:

forming an encapsulation includes enclosing the outer bond wire.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein molding the stacking structure includes arranging the top side of the contact pad and the passive side of the integrated circuit die to be planar.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

molding the stacking structure includes attaching the integrated circuit die to the stacking structure; and

stacking the stacking structure over the bottom chip includes attaching a portion or all of the bottom chip to the cavity.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein molding the stacking structure includes forming the cavity at an off-center location within the stacking structure.
