摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for realizing a connecting structure (2200) in a semiconductor substrate (1000), and the semiconductor substrate realized accordingly. The process of the present invention, the semiconductor substrate (1000) having at least a first surface, and being foreseen for a 3D integration with a second substrate (1700) along the first surface, wherein the 3D integration is subject to a lateral misalignment in at least one dimension having a misalignment value, can include the step of growing a diffusion barrier structure (2211) for preventing diffusion of elements out of a conductive layer into the rest of the semiconductor substrate, is characterized in that a first end surface, being the most outward surface of the diffusion barrier structure (2211) being substantially parallel to the first surface, along a direction perpendicular to the first surface and going from the substrate toward the first surface, of the diffusion barrier structure (2211) can have a length, in the direction of the lateral misalignment, the length being dependent on the misalignment value, wherein the length of the diffusion barrier structure (2211) is chosen such that in a 3D integrated structure a diffusion of elements out of a conductive layer of the second substrate (1700) is prevented in the integrated state.

摘要:
A top-most layer (64) is formed over a bond pad layer (62) and under a passivation layer (68) and a polyimide layer (72). Openings (70 and 74) are formed within the passivation layer (68) and the polyimide layer (72) to expose the top-most layer (64), which protects the bond pad layer (62) during the formation of the openings (70 and 74). In one embodiment, the exposed top-most layer (64) is selectively etched using hydrogen peroxide and an amine, such as ammonium hydroxide. Because the chemistry does not attack the bond pad layer (62), the bond pad layer's thickness is not decreased and thus, reliability of the bond pad is maintained.

The invention relates to a contact connector which forms an electrical contact between the wiring and the connecting wires on the semiconductor component. According to the invention, the contact connector has the advantage that, even when the second electrical conducting element is damaged during the bonding or the application of measuring needles, this does not lead to damage to the first electrical conducting element, due to the fact that the vertical projection of the bonding surface on the first insulation, in which the first electrical conducting element is embedded, is arranged next to the first electrical conducting element and thus the first electrical conducting element is not cut as the pressure of the measuring needles or the pressure occurring during the bonding process is taken by the first insulation.
