A stacked-die and stacked-capacitor package vertically arranged capacitors to mirror a semiconductive-device stack. The stacked capacitor can be electrically coupled to one or more semiconductive devices in the stacked architecture.

Packaged die stacks with stacked capacitors and methods of assembling same

Over-molded IC package assemblies including an in-mold capacitor. In some embodiments, an over-molded package assembly includes a IC chip or die coupled to one or more metal distribution layer or package substrate. A molding compound encapsulates at least the IC chip and one or more capacitors are fabricated within the molding compound. The capacitors may include two or more metal plates separated by an intervening dielectric material, all of which are embedded within a trench in the molding compound. Individual ones of the capacitor plates may physically contact a conductive land of the package redistribution layer or package substrate, for example to tie the plates to a ground plane and power plane, or two supply rails, in a decoupling capacitor application.

Over-molded IC package with in-mold capacitor

Over-molded IC package assemblies including an embedded voltage reference plane and/or heat spreader. In some embodiments, an over-molded package assembly includes a IC chip or die coupled to one or more metal distribution layer or package substrate. A molding compound encapsulates at least the IC chip and one or more conductive layers are embedded within the molding compound. The conductive layers may include an interior portion located over the IC chip and a peripheral portion located over the redistribution layers or package substrate. The interior portion may comprise one or more heat conductive features, which may physically contact a surface of the IC chip. In some further embodiments, the peripheral portion comprises one or more electrically conductive features, which may physically contact a surface of the package redistribution layers or package substrate to convey a reference voltage. One or more conductive traces may connect the conductive features in the interior with conductive features in the periphery.
