Method of manufacturing multi-die semiconductor devices and corresponding multi-die semiconductor device

Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a multi-die semiconductor device, a metal leadframe includes a die pad and electrically-conductive leads arranged around the die pad. First and second semiconductor dice are arranged on the die pad. A laser-activatable material is disposed on the dice and leads, and a set of laser-activated lines is patterned, including a first subset coupling selected bonding pads of the dice to selected leads, a second subset coupling selected bonding pads amongst themselves, and a third subset coupling the lines in the second subset to at least one line in the first subset. A first metallic layer is deposited onto the laser-activated lines to provide first, second and third subsets of electrically-conductive lines. A second metallic layer is selectively deposited onto the first and second subsets by electroplating to provide first and second subsets of electrically-conductive tracks. The electrically-conductive lines in the third subset are selectively removed.
