Laser ablation for package fabrication

Abstract:

A method of fabricating a frame to enclose one or more semiconductor dies includes forming one or more features including one or more cavities and one or more through-vias in a substrate by a first laser ablation process, filling the one or more through-vias with a dielectric material, and forming a via-in-via in the dielectric material filled in each of the one or more through-vias by a second laser ablation process. The one or more cavities is configured to enclose one or more semiconductor dies therein. In the first laser ablation process, frequency, pulse width, and pulse energy of a first pulsed laser beam to irradiate the substrate are tuned based on a depth of the one or more features. In the second laser ablation process, frequency, pulse width, and pulse energy of a second pulsed laser beam to irradiate the dielectric material are tuned based on a depth of the via-in-via.
