Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Mechanisms of forming a package on package (PoP) package by using an interposer and an no-reflow underfill (NUF) layer are provided. The interposer frame improves the form factor of the package, enables the reduction in the pitch of the bonding structures. The NUF layer enables a semiconductor die and an interposer frame be bonded to a substrate by utilizing the heat on the connectors of the semiconductor die and on the connectors of the interposer frame for bonding. The heat provided by the semiconductor die and the interposer frame also transforms the NUF layer into an underfill. PoP structures formed by using the interposer frame and the NUF layer improve yield and have better reliability performance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a package on package structure, the method comprising: providing a substrate, wherein the substrate has a first plurality of bumps and a second plurality of bumps, wherein the second plurality of bumps surrounds the first plurality of bumps; applying a no-reflow underfill (NUF) layer over the substrate; bonding a semiconductor die to the first plurality of bumps on the substrate using heat supplied by the semiconductor die; and bond…
