Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system including: providing a package carrier; mounting an integrated circuit to the package carrier; mounting a circuit interposer above the integrated circuit; mounting a mounting integrated circuit above the circuit interposer; forming a conductive pillar to the circuit interposer adjacent to the mounting integrated circuit; connecting the circuit interposer to the package carrier; and forming an encapsulation on the package carrier.

Claims (18)

1. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a package carrier;

a first integrated circuit mounted to the package carrier;

an underfill between the package carrier and the first integrated circuit;

a circuit interposer mounted above the first integrated circuit and connected to the package carrier, wherein the circuit interposer is an integrated passive device or an active device;

a second integrated circuit mounted above the circuit interposer;

a conductive pillar formed to the circuit interposer adjacent to the second integrated circuit; and

an encapsulation formed on the package carrier and the second integrated circuit, a non-active side of the second integrated circuit exposed from and coplanar with a horizontal surface of the encapsulation; and

wherein a top surface of the conductive pillar is below a top surface of the second integrated circuit, and the top surface of the conductive pillar and the top surface of the second integrated circuit are exposed from the encapsulation.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising interposer electrical connectors between the first integrated circuit and the package carrier.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising solder balls between the circuit interposer and the package carrier.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the conductive pillar is at a level planar with the top of the encapsulation.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the conductive pillar formed to the circuit interposer is at a level planar with a surface of the encapsulation and below a non-active surface of the second integrated circuit.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the circuit interposer mounted above the first integrated circuit is an integrated circuit interposer.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the circuit interposer mounted above the first integrated circuit is electrically connected to the package carrier with bond wire interposer electrical connectors.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the circuit interposer mounted above the first integrated circuit is electrically connected to the package carrier with solder balls.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the conductive pillar formed to the circuit interposer includes the conductive pillar at a level planar with the top of the encapsulation.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the conductive pillar formed to the circuit interposer is at a level planar with a surface of the encapsulation and below a non-active surface of the second integrated circuit.
