This document discusses, among other things, a conductive frame, a silicon die coupled to the conductive frame, the silicon die including a vibratory diaphragm, the die having a silicon die top opposite a silicon die bottom, with a silicon die port extending through the silicon die to the vibratory diaphragm, with a silicon die terminal in electrical communication with the conductive frame and an insulator affixed to the conductive frame and the silicon die, with the insulator extending through interstices in the conductive frame to a conductive frame bottom of the conductive frame, and around an exterior of the silicon die to the silicon die top, with the insulator physically affixed to the silicon die and to the conductive frame, with the silicon die port exposed and with a conductive frame terminal disposed at the conductive frame bottom in electrical communication with the silicon die terminal.

Microelectromechanical systems microphone packaging systems

Pre-molded component packages that may be as thin as a leadframe for a semiconductor die, systems using the same, and methods of making the same are disclosed. The leads of an exemplary package are exposed at both surfaces at the leadframe. The packages may be stacked upon one another and electrically coupled at the exposed portions of their leads.

Stacking quad pre-molded component packages, systems using the same, and methods of making the same

A semiconductor die package. It includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, a first semiconductor die having its front surface facing the first surface of the substrate, a conductive adhesive disposed between the first semiconductor die and the first surface of the substrate, and a second semiconductor die located on the first semiconductor die. The front surface of second semiconductor die faces away from the first semiconductor die, and the back surface faces toward the first semiconductor die. A plurality of conductive structures electrically couple regions at the front surface of the second semiconductor die to conductive regions at the first surface of the substrate.

Stacked dual-die packages, methods of making, and systems incorporating said packages

A die attach package for connecting a die or chip of die-down orientation to a printed circuit board in a die-up orientation. The package includes a substrate with leads that may be traces terminating in vias or that may be the leads of a lead frame. The traces or the leads of the lead frame are modified such that they pass under the die when the die is attached. The traces or leads are routed under the die such that proper connections are established from the topside of the die to the appropriate mount locations of the printed circuit board. The die is attached to the substrate using a non-electrically-conductive material. This packaging enables a fabricator to make die of one orientation type, die down, and use that die in a die-up package, thereby saving on fabrication costs.

Packaging system for die-up connection of a die-down oriented integrated circuit

Die attach methods are provided. These methods include (a) providing a supply of die attach adhesive, (b) applying a portion of the die attach adhesive to a transfer member, and (c) contacting the lead frame paddle with the transfer member to print a layer of adhesive onto the lead frame paddle. Integrated circuit (IC) devices are also provided.
