    Abstract: A semiconductor package can include a semiconductor die stack including a top die and one or more core dies below the top die. The semiconductor package can further include a metal heat sink plated on a top surface of the top die and have a plurality of side surfaces coplanar with corresponding ones of a plurality of sidewalls of the semiconductor die stack. A molding can surround the stack of semiconductor dies and the metal heat sink, the molding including a top surface coplanar with an exposed upper surface of the metal heat sink. The top surface of the molding and the exposed upper surface of the metal heat sink are both mechanically altered. For example, the metal heat sink and the molding can be simultaneously ground with a grinding disc and can show grinding marks as a result.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a substrate having a front side and a back side opposite the front side. A through via extends entirely through the substrate. The through via includes a protruding portion that extends beyond the back side of the substrate. A layer of silicon carbon nitride is disposed at the back side of the substrate and along sidewalls of the protruding portion of the through via. A layer of oxide is disposed at the back side of the substrate and at least partially surrounding the protruding portion of the through via. A conductive pad is disposed at a coupling surface of the through via and at least partially extending through the layer of oxide. As a result, a reliable and cost-efficient semiconductor device can be assembled.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device assembly that includes a substrate having a first side and a second side, the first side having at least one dummy pad and at least one electrical pad. The semiconductor device assembly includes a first semiconductor device having a first side and a second side and at least one electrical pillar extending from the second side. The electrical pillar is connected to the electrical pad via solder to form an electrical interconnect. The semiconductor device assembly includes at least one dummy pillar extending from the second side of the first semiconductor device and a liquid positioned between an end of the dummy pillar and the dummy pad. The surface tension of the liquid pulls the dummy pillar towards the dummy pad. The surface tension may reduce or minimize a warpage of the semiconductor device assembly and/or align the dummy pillar and the dummy pad.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for semiconductor devices having a substrate with bond pads, a die pair in a stacked configuration above the bond pads and having a first die having an oxide layer, a second die having an oxide layer attached to the first oxide layer, and conductive bonds electrically coupling the dies. Interconnects extend between the bond pads and the die pair, electrically coupling die pair to the substrate. The device may include a second die pair electrically coupled to: (1) the first die pair with secondary interconnects; and (2) the substrate with through-silicon vias extending through the first die pair. The top die of a die pair may be a thick die for use at the top of a pair stack. Pairs may be created by matching dies of a first silicon wafer to dies of a second silicon wafer, combination bonding the wafers, and dicing the die pairs.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device assembly including a shape-memory element connected to at least one component of the semiconductor device assembly. The shape-memory element may be temperature activated or electrically activated. The shape-memory element is configured to move to reduce, minimize, or modify a warpage of a component of the assembly by moving to an initial shape. The shape-memory element may be applied to a surface of a component of the semiconductor device assembly or may be positioned within a component of the semiconductor device assembly such as a layer. The shape-memory element may be connected between two components of the semiconductor device assembly. A plurality of shape-memory elements may be used to reduce, minimize, and/or modify warpage of one or more components of a semiconductor device assembly.
