A device includes a first die having a first side and a second side opposite to first side, the first side includes a first region and a second region, and a first metal bump of a first horizontal size formed on the first region of the first side of the first die. A second die is bonded to the first side of the first die through the first metal bump. A dielectric layer is formed over the first side of the first die and includes a first portion directly over the second die, a second portion encircling the second die, and an opening exposing the second region of the first side of the first die. A second metal bump of a second horizontal size is formed on the second region of the first side of the first die and extending into the opening of the dielectric layer. The second horizontal size is greater than the first horizontal size. An electrical component is bonded to the first side of the first die through the second metal bump.

A semiconductor structure includes a substrate and a conductive carrier-tunneling layer over and contacting the substrate. The conductive carrier-tunneling layer includes first group-III nitride (III-nitride) layers having a first bandgap, wherein the first III-nitride layers have a thickness less than about 5 nm; and second III-nitride layers having a second bandgap lower than the first bandgap, wherein the first III-nitride layers and the second III-nitride layers are stacked in an alternating pattern. The semiconductor structure is free from a III-nitride layer between the substrate and the conductive carrier-tunneling layer. The semiconductor structure further includes an active layer over the conductive carrier-tunneling layer.

A semiconductor device having a polymer layer and a method of fabricating the same is provided. A two-step plasma treatment for a surface of the polymer layer includes a first plasma process to roughen the surface of the polymer layer and loosen contaminants, and a second plasma process to make the polymer layer smoother or make the polymer layer less rough.

A method of forming a device includes printing conductive patterns on a dielectric sheet to form a pre-ink-printed sheet, and bonding the pre-ink-printed sheet onto a side of a substrate. The conductive feature includes a through-substrate via extending from a first major side of the substrate to a second major side of the substrate opposite the first major side. A conductive paste is then applied to electrically couple conductive patterns to a conductive feature in the substrate.

The condensed SiGe layer and a top portion of the bulk silicon substrate are etched to form a composite fin including a silicon fin and a condensed SiGe fin over the silicon fine. The method further includes oxidizing a portion of the silicon fin; and performing a second condensation to the condensed SiGe fin.

A multi-layer interconnect structure for stacked die configurations is provided. Through-substrate vias are formed in a semiconductor substrate. A backside of the semiconductor substrate is thinned to expose the through-substrate vias. An isolation film is formed over the backside of the semiconductor substrate and the exposed portion of the through-substrate vias. A first conductive element is formed electrically coupled to respective ones of the through-substrate vias and extending over the isolation film. One or more additional layers of isolation films and conductive elements may be formed, with connection elements such as solder balls being electrically coupled to the uppermost conductive elements.

A 3D semiconductor package using an interposer is provided. In an embodiment, an interposer is provided having a first die electrically coupled to a first side of the interposer and a second die electrically coupled to a second side of the interposer. The interposer is electrically coupled to an underlying substrate, such as a packaging substrate, a high-density interconnect, a printed circuit board, or the like. The substrate has a cavity such that the second die is positioned within the cavity. The use of a cavity may allow smaller conductive bumps to be used, thereby allowing a higher number of conductive bumps to be used. A heat sink may be placed within the cavity to aid in the dissipation of the heat from the second die.
