A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887916B2) discloses a semiconductor device featuring a unique design for improved functionality. The device includes a substrate with a conductive structure comprising a lead via, lead protrusion, and lead trace, all encapsulated by a substrate encapsulant. The lead protrusion and lead trace extend from the substrate encapsulant at the second side of the substrate, with the lead trace laterally routing electrical signals. Additionally, a semiconductor component is electrically coupled to the conductive structure, encapsulated by a body encapsulant, and overlies the lead via in a flip-chip configuration. The device's design allows for efficient signal routing and component integration, enhancing overall performance.

Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and features of the semiconductor device, such as different electrical signal paths (fan-in or fan-out), terminal layers, and lateral separations between components. The lead trace's ability to route signals within or outside the footprint of the semiconductor component provides flexibility in design and functionality. Additionally, the inclusion of a redistribution structure coupled to the lead via further expands the routing capabilities of the device, allowing for various fan-in and fan-out paths. Overall, the patented semiconductor device showcases innovative design elements aimed at optimizing signal transmission and component integration in a compact and efficient manner, catering to the evolving needs of the semiconductor industry.
