US Patent 11276628 Semiconductor package with die stacked on surface mounted devices

One or more embodiments are directed to semiconductor packages and methods in which one or more electrical components are positioned between a semiconductor die and a surface of a substrate. In one embodiment, a semiconductor package includes a substrate having a first surface. One or more electrical components are electrically coupled to electrical contacts on the first surface of the substrate. A semiconductor die is positioned on the one or more electrical components, and the semiconductor die has an active surface that faces away from the substrate. An adhesive layer is on the first surface of the substrate and on the one or more electrical components, and the semiconductor die is spaced apart from the one or more electrical components by the adhesive layer. Wire bonds are provided that electrically couples the active surface of the semiconductor die to the substrate.
