US 6,633,086 B1 · Stacked chip scale package structure

Abstract

The present invention provides a stacked chip scale package structure, wherein a lower chip and an upper chip are stacked on a substrate. Two rows of bonding pads are disposed on each of the upper and lower chips. The bonding pads on the upper and lower chips are parallel arranged. At least a dummy die is disposed below the suspended portion of the upper chip and at the side of the lower chip as a support during wire bonding. A gap is reserved between the dummy die and the lower chip. The present invention utilizes the design of dummy die to resolve the problem of die crack caused by wire bonding of suspended chip. Therefore, the present invention can flexibly adjust the size and installation direction of the upper chip to meet the requirement of substrate layout, and can also shorten the trace length on the substrate to enhance the electric performance thereof.

Dependent claims

A stacked chip scale package structure, comprising:

a lower chip disposed on a substrate;
at least an upper chip disposed on a top portion of said lower chip, at least one portion of said upper chip overhanging a side of said lower chip to define a suspended portion of said upper chip;
at least one dummy die disposed below said suspended portion of said upper chip and being disposed on said substrate at said side of said lower chip to provide inelastic support for said suspended portion of said upper chip, the thickness of said dummy die being commensurate with that of said lower chip;
and
a plurality of bonding pads properly arranged on exposed surfaces of said upper and lower chips.
