Abstract:
A chip stack package is provided, wherein semiconductor chips having different die sizes are stacked by arranging pads in a scribe region through a redistribution process, so that the thickness of the package can be reduced. A method of fabricating the chip stack package is also provided. In the chip stack package, a plurality of circuit patterns are arranged on one surface of a substrate, and a unit semiconductor chip is mounted thereon. The unit semiconductor chip includes a plurality of semiconductor chips sequentially stacked on the substrate. The semiconductor chips of the unit semiconductor chip have different die sizes. One of the semiconductor chips includes a plurality of first pads arranged in a first chip region, and the other semiconductor chips include second pads arranged in a scribe region at an outside of a second chip region defined by the scribe region.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an integrated circuit region on a semiconductor wafer. A first metal layer pattern is formed over the integrated circuit region. A via hole is formed to extend through the first metal layer pattern and the integrated circuit region. A final metal layer pattern is formed over the first metal layer pattern and within the via hole. A plug is formed within the via hole. Thereafter, a passivation layer is formed to overlie the final metal layer pattern.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor device package having a stress relief spacer, and a manufacturing method thereof, metal interconnect fingers extend from the body of a chip provide for chip interconnection. The metal fingers are isolated from the body of the chip by a stress-relief spacer. In one example, such isolation takes the form of an air gap. In another example, such isolation takes the form of an elastomer material. In either case, mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion between the metal interconnect fingers and the body of the chip is avoided, alleviating the problems associated with cracking and delamination, and leading to improved device yield and device reliability.
Abstract:
A wafer level chip scale package may have a gap provided between a solder bump and a bump land. The gap may be filled with a gas. A method of manufacturing a wafer level chip scale package may involve forming a redistribution line having a first opening, forming a seed metal layer having a second opening including an undercut portion, and forming the gap using the first and the second openings.

Abstract:
Provided are semiconductor packages and methods of manufacturing the semiconductor package. The semiconductor packages may include a substrate including a chip pad, a redistributed line which is electrically connected to the chip pad and includes an opening. The semiconductor packages may also include an external terminal connection portion, and an external terminal connection pad which is disposed at an opening and electrically connected to the redistributed line. The present general inventive concept can solve the problem where an ingredient of gold included in a redistributed line may be prevented from being diffused into an adjacent bump pad to form a void or an undesired intermetallic compound. In a chip on chip structure, a plurality of bumps of a lower chip are connected to an upper chip to improve reliability, diversity and functionality of the chip on chip structure.
