Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method for providing an enhanced removal of heat from a semiconductor die within an integrated fan out package on package configuration is presented. In an embodiment a metal layer is formed on a backside of the semiconductor die, and the semiconductor die along and through vias are encapsulated. Portions of the metal layer are exposed and a thermal die is connected to remove heat from the semiconductor die.

Claim (Index 16):
A method comprising:\n attaching a thermal structure to a first integrated circuit (IC) package, wherein the first IC package includes:\n a mold that encapsulates an IC device, a through via structure, and a metal layer disposed over a backside of the IC device, wherein the mold has a first side and a second side that is opposite the first side; \n a redistribution layer disposed on the first side of the mold, wherein the redistribution layer is electrically coupled to the through via structure and a front side of the IC device; and \n a patterned polymer layer disposed on the second side of the mold, wherein the patterned polymer layer exposes a portion of the metal layer and a portion of the through via structure, and \n the thermal structure is bonded to the metal layer of the IC device via a thermally conductive material that extends through the patterned polymer layer to the exposed portion of the metal layer; and \n attaching a second IC package to the first IC package, wherein the second IC package is bonded to the through via structure via a bonding material that extends through the patterned polymer layer to the exposed portion of the through via structure.
