    Abstract: Methods of forming a back side image sensor device, as well as back side image sensor devices formed, are disclosed. In one such a method, an image sensor wafer having a first dielectric layer with a first surface is obtained. A reconstituted wafer having a processor die and a second dielectric layer with a second surface is obtained. The reconstituted wafer and the image sensor wafer are bonded to one another including coupling the first surface of the first dielectric layer and the second surface of the second dielectric layer. In another method, such formation is for a processor die bonded to an image sensor wafer. In yet another method, such formation is for a processor die bonded to an image sensor die.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for coupling chiplets to microchips utilizing active bridges. The active bridges include circuits that provide various functions and capabilities that previously may have been located on the microchips and/or the chiplets. Furthermore, the active bridges may be coupled to the microchips and the chiplets via “native interconnects” utilizing direct bonding techniques. Utilizing the active bridges and the direct bonding techniques of the active bridges to the microchips and the chiplets, the pitch for the interconnects can be greatly reduced going from a pitch in the millimeters to a fine pitch that may be in a range of less than one micron to approximately five microns.

    Abstract: A virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) headset system (including the capability for one or both of virtual reality and augmented reality) includes a remote optical engine. The remote disposition of the optical engine removes many or all of the components of the VR/AR headset system that add weight, heat, and other characteristics that can add to user discomfort in using the system from the headset. An electronic image is received and/or generated remotely at the optical engine and is transmitted optically from the remote location to the headset to be viewed by the user. One or more optical waveguides may be used to transmit the electronic image to one or more passive displays of the headset, from the remote optical engine.

    Abstract: Direct-bonded LED arrays and applications are provided. An example process fabricates a LED structure that includes coplanar electrical contacts for p-type and n-type semiconductors of the LED structure on a flat bonding interface surface of the LED structure. The coplanar electrical contacts of the flat bonding interface surface are direct-bonded to electrical contacts of a driver circuit for the LED structure. In a wafer-level process, micro-LED structures are fabricated on a first wafer, including coplanar electrical contacts for p-type and n-type semiconductors of the LED structures on the flat bonding interface surfaces of the wafer. At least the coplanar electrical contacts of the flat bonding interface are direct-bonded to electrical contacts of CMOS driver circuits on a second wafer. The process provides a transparent and flexible micro-LED array display, with each micro-LED structure having an illumination area approximately the size of a pixel or a smallest controllable element of an image represented on a high-resolution video display.

    Abstract: An interposer (110) has contact pads at the top and/or bottom surfaces for connection to circuit modules (e.g. ICs 112). The interposer includes a substrate made of multiple layers (110.i). Each layer can be a substrate (110S), possibly a ceramic substrate, with circuitry. The substrates extend vertically. Multiple interposers are fabricated in a single structure (310) made of vertical layers (310.i) corresponding to the interposers' layers. The structure is diced along horizontal planes (314) to provide the interposers. An interposer's vertical conductive lines (similar to through-substrate vias) can be formed on the substrates' surfaces before dicing and before all the substrates are attached to each other. Thus, there is no need to make through-substrate holes for the vertical conductive lines. Non-vertical features can also be formed on the substrates' surfaces before the substrates are attached to each other. Other embodiments are also provided.

    Abstract: A component such as an interposer or microelectronic element can be fabricated with a set of vertically extending interconnects of wire bond structure. Such method may include forming a structure having wire bonds extending in an axial direction within one of more openings in an element and each wire bond spaced at least partially apart from a wall of the opening within which it extends, the element consisting essentially of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion (“CTE”) of less than 10 parts per million per degree Celsius (“ppm/° C.”). First contacts can then be provided at a first surface of the component and second contacts provided at a second surface of the component facing in a direction opposite from the first surface, the first contacts electrically coupled with the second contacts through the wire bonds.

    Abstract: An image sensor device, as well as methods therefor, is disclosed. This image sensor device includes a substrate having bond pads. The substrate has a through substrate channel defined therein extending between a front side surface and a back side surface thereof. The front side surface is associated with an optically-activatable surface. The bond pads are located at or proximal to the front side surface aligned for access via the through substrate channel. Wire bond wires are bonded to the bond pads at first ends thereof extending away from the bond pads with second ends of the wire bond wires located outside of an opening of the channel at the back side surface. A molding layer is disposed along the back side surface and in the through substrate channel. A redistribution layer is in contact with the molding layer and interconnected to the second ends of the wire bond wires.
