Abstract
Packaged semiconductor components having substantially rigid support member are disclosed. The packages can include a semiconductor die and a support member proximate to the semiconductor die. The support member is at least substantially rigid. The packages can further include an adhesive between the support member and the semiconductor die and adhesively attaching the support member to the semiconductor die. The packages can also include a substrate carrying the semiconductor die and the support member attached to the semiconductor die.
Claims11
A packaged semiconductor component, comprising:
- a first semiconductor die having a first composition, a first surface, a first bond pad located on or near the first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- a second semiconductor die having a same size as the first semiconductor die;
- a support member between the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die, the support member attached to the first surface of the first semiconductor die, the support member being at least substantially rigid and having a second composition different from the first composition of the first semiconductor die, the support member having a size less than a size of the first semiconductor die whereby the first bond pad located on or near the first surface is not covered by the support member;
- a substrate carrying the first semiconductor die, the support member and the second semiconductor die;
- and
- an encapsulant at least partially encasing the first semiconductor die, the support member, the second semiconductor die, and the substrate,
- wherein the first and second semiconductor dies include a plurality of second bond pads at or near a surface of the first and second semiconductor dies,
- wherein the plurality of second bond pads of each of the first and second semiconductor dies are vertically aligned, and
- wherein the support member comprises a plurality of heat conducting fins sandwiched between two plates.
A packaged semiconductor component, comprising:
- a first semiconductor die having a first surface, a first bond pad located on or near the first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface;
