A wafer treating method for making adhesive dies is provided. A liquid adhesive with two-stage property is coated on a surface of a wafer. Then, the wafer is pre-cured to make the liquid adhesive transform a thermo-bonding adhesive film having B-stage property which has a glass transition temperature not less than 40&#xb0; C. for handling without adhesive under room temperature. After positioning the wafer, the wafer is singulated to form a plurality of dies with adhesive for die-to-die stacking, die-to-substrate or die-to-leadframe attaching.

Wafer treating method for making adhesive dies

The present invention relates to a stacked semiconductor chip package comprising a substrate, a first chip, a plate, and a second chip The first chip is mounted on the substrate. The second chip comprises two opposed longitudinal sides defining a first length. The plate is mounted between the first chip and the second chip, and connects the first chip and the second chip. Corresponding to the two longitudinal sides of the second chip, the plate has two opposed longitudinal sides defining a second length. The second length is larger than the first length to expose the opposed longitudinal sides of the plate. An overflow adhesive portion is formed between the plate and the second chip, and the overflow adhesive portion exposes on the plate. Therefore, the testing instrument can detect the size of the overflow adhesive portion and the thickness of the adhesive layer so as to control the quality of the stacked semiconductor chip package. The adhesion strength between the stacked chip and the plate can be augmented to raise the reliability of the stacked semiconductor chip package product.

Stacked semiconductor chip package

A wafer treating method for making adhesive dies is provided. A liquid adhesive with two-stage property is coated on a surface of a wafer. Then, the wafer is pre-cured to make the liquid adhesive transform a thermo-bonding adhesive film having B-stage property which has a glass transition temperature not less than 40&deg; C. for handling without adhesive under room temperature. After positioning the wafer, the wafer is singulated to form a plurality of dies with adhesive for die-to-die stacking, die-to-substrate or die-to-leadframe attaching.

A method for fabricating a stacked chip package comprises the steps of: (a) attaching a lower chip to a substrate or a lead frame; (b) electrically coupling the lower chip to the substrate or the lead frame; (c) providing a dummy chip with a film adhesive on a upper surface thereof; (d) attaching the dummy chip to the lower chip through an adhesive layer wherein a lower surface of the dummy chip is in contact with the adhesive layer; (e) attaching an upper chip to the dummy chip through the film adhesive; (f) electrically coupling the upper chip to the substrate or the lead frame; and (g) encapsulating the lower chip and the upper chip against a portion of the substrate or the lead frame with a molding compound. Since the dummy chip is bonded to the upper chip via a film adhesive, it is not necessary to monitor the thickness of the film adhesive after the upper chip is bonded to the dummy chip.

Method for fabricating stacked chip package

A multichip module comprises at least two semiconductor chips wherein each has a row of bonding pads formed on the active surface thereof and disposed along one side edge thereof. The semiconductor chips are mounted to a substrate in a stacking arrangement wherein the upper chip is attached to the active surface of the lower chip in a manner that no portion of the upper chip interferes with a vertical line of sight of each bond pad of the lower chip to permit wire bonding thereof. Therefore, all semiconductor chips can be wire bonded simultaneously after stacking the chips on the substrate. This allows wire bonding of all chips to be completed in a single step so as to increase UPH (unit per hour), thereby reducing cost for manufacturing the MCM.

Multichip module having a stacked chip arrangement

A multichip module has at least two semiconductor chips wherein each has a row of bonding pads formed on the active surface thereof and disposed along one side edge thereof. In some embodiments, the semiconductor chips may have a plurality of bonding pads along only two mutually perpendicular side edges thereof. The semiconductor chips are mounted to a substrate in a stacking arrangement wherein the upper chip is attached to the active surface of the lower chip in a manner that no portion of the upper chip interferes with a vertical line of sight of each bonding pad of the lower chip to permit wire bonding thereof. Therefore, all semiconductor chips can be wire bonded simultaneously after stacking the chips on the substrate. This allows wire bonding of all chips to be completed in a single step so as to increase UPH (unit per hour), thereby reducing cost for manufacturing the MCM.
