In at least one aspect, a method can include shaping a block of flexible spacer material. The method can include shaping a portion of the block of flexible spacer material to receive a solid metal block. The method can include coupling the solid metal block to the portion of the block of flexible spacer material.

Structure and method related to a power module using a hybrid spacer

Implementations of semiconductor packages may include a first substrate having two or more die coupled to a first side, a clip coupled to each of the two or more die on the first substrate and a second substrate having two or more die coupled to a first side of the second substrate. A clip may be coupled to each of the two or more die on the second substrate. The package may include a lead frame between the first substrate and the second substrate and a molding compound. A second side of each of the first substrate and the second substrate may be exposed through the molding compound. A perimeter of the first substrate and a perimeter of the second substrate may not fully overlap when coupled through the lead frame.

Low stress asymmetric dual side module

Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a first substrate having two or more die coupled to a first side, a clip coupled to each of the two or more die on the first substrate and a second substrate having two or more die coupled to a first side of the second substrate. A clip may be coupled to each of the two or more die on the second substrate. The package may include two or more spacers coupled to the first side of the first substrate and a lead frame between the first substrate and the second substrate and a molding compound. A second side of each of the first substrate and the second substrate may be exposed through the molding compound. A perimeter of the first substrate and a perimeter of the second substrate may not fully overlap when coupled through the two or more spacers.

Methods of forming semiconductor packages include providing a lead frame having leads and no tie-bars. Tape is attached to the lead frame and one or more semiconductor die are coupled therewith. Electrical contacts of the die are interconnected with the leads using electrical connectors. An encapsulated assembly is formed by at least partially encapsulating the die and electrical connectors. The assembly is singulated to form a semiconductor package. The tape is detached from the package or encapsulated assembly. One or more die attach flags may be attached to the tape and the die may be attached thereto. Semiconductor packages formed using the methods include one or more semiconductor die at least partially encapsulated, pins exposed through the encapsulant, electrical connectors within the encapsulant and electrically interconnecting the pins with electrical contacts of the die, and no tie-bars coupling the die with the pins. Packages may also include die attach flags.

Semiconductor package structures and methods of manufacture

A first semiconductor substrate contains a first semiconductor material, such as silicon. A second semiconductor substrate containing a second semiconductor material, such as gallium nitride or aluminum gallium nitride, is formed on the first semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor substrate and second semiconductor substrate are singulated to provide a semiconductor die including a portion of the second semiconductor material supported by a portion of the first semiconductor material. The semiconductor die is disposed over a die attach area of an interconnect structure. The interconnect structure has a conductive layer and optional active region. An underfill material is deposited between the semiconductor die and die attach area of the interconnect structure. The first semiconductor material is removed from the semiconductor die and the interconnect structure is singulated to separate the semiconductor die. The first semiconductor material can be removed post interconnect structure singulation.

Semiconductor device and method for supporting ultra-thin semiconductor die

A power module includes a spacer block, a thermally conductive substrate coupled to one side of the spacer block, and a semiconductor device die coupled to an opposite side of the spacer block. The spacer block includes a solid spacer block and an adjacent flexible spacer block. An inner portion of the device die is coupled to the solid spacer block, and an outer portion of the semiconductor device die is coupled to the adjacent flexible spacer block.

Implementations described herein are related to an improved semiconductor device package for providing an electrical connection between one or more semiconductor die and one or more substrates. The one or more substrates includes a dielectric layer having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and a first metal layer bonded to the first side of the dielectric layer, the first metal layer having a first portion and a second portion. The semiconductor device package can also include a semiconductor die disposed onto the first metal layer within the first portion of the first metal layer. In some implementations, the one or more conducting substrates includes a direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate, i.e., the metal is copper.
