Abstract
A semiconductor package with embedded electromagnetic field (EMF) shielding protection using wire bonding is provided. The semiconductor may comprise a plurality of shield wires and signal wires. The shield wires may surround all of a portion of a die to shield the die from EMF. The shield wires and the signal wires may be formed from portions of wire bonds. In manufacturing the semiconductor package these wire bonds may be created connecting to the base and/or the die. The wire bonds may then be broken to form the shield wires and signal wires. These wires may be connected to a ground plane and/or signals pads, which are separated by a dielectric material.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package comprising:
- connecting a die to a base;
- creating a plurality of wire bonds each with a first end and a second end, wherein a first end of a first wire bond is connected to the die and a second end of the first wire bond is connected to the base, and wherein a first end of a second wire bond and a second end of the second wire bond are each connected to the base;
- applying molding to encapsulate the die and the plurality of wire bonds;
- removing a top side of the molding including breaking the plurality of wire bonds into a plurality of wires, wherein each of the plurality of wires is a shield wire connected to the base at a first end of the shield wire or a signal wire connected to the die at a first end of the signal wire;
- forming one or more redistribution layers on a first side of the molding, wherein the one or more redistribution layers include one or more signal pads and one or more ground planes, wherein each of the one or more signal pads is connected to at least one signal wires connected to the die, wherein at least one of one or more shield wires connects to the base is connected to the ground plane;
- applying one or more solder bumps to the one or more signal pads.
A semiconductor package comprising:
- a die with an active side;
- a base connected to a side of the die opposite the active side;
- a plurality of shield wires, wherein the plurality of shield wires are connected to the base and to one or more ground planes;
- a plurality of signal wires connected to the active side of the die and to one or more signal pads;
- wherein the plurality of shield wires and the plurality of signal wires are formed from portions of a plurality of wire bonds;
- a molding encapsulating the die, the shield wires, and the signal wires;
- a redistribution layer on top of the molding, wherein the redistribution layer include the one or more ground planes and the one or more signal pads;
- and
- a plurality of solder balls, wherein one or more of the plurality of solder balls are applied to the one or more signal pads.
