Abstract: A method includes forming an integrated circuit device on a semiconductor substrate, forming a through-via penetrating through the semiconductor substrate, and forming dummy patterns surrounding the through-via. The dummy patterns include a first plurality of dummy patterns having a first pattern density, and a second plurality of dummy patterns. The first plurality of dummy patterns are between the through-via and the second plurality of dummy patterns. The second plurality of dummy patterns have a second pattern density different from the first pattern density.

Abstract: A method includes bonding a device die onto a package component. The device die includes a semiconductor substrate, and a through-via extending into the semiconductor substrate. The method further includes depositing a dielectric liner lining sidewalls of the device die, depositing a dielectric layer on the dielectric liner, and planarizing the dielectric layer and the device die. Remaining portions of the dielectric liner and the dielectric layer form a gap-filling region, and a top end of the through-via is revealed. An implantation process is performed to introduce a stress modulation dopant into at least one of the dielectric liner and the dielectric layer. A redistribution line is formed over and electrically connecting to the through-via.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes loading a first wafer and a second wafer into a wafer bonding system. A relative humidity within the wafer bonding system is measured a first time. After measuring the relative humidity, the relative humidity within the wafer bonding system may be adjusted to be within a desired range. When the relative humidity is within the desired range, the first wafer is bonded to the second wafer.
