摘要： Microelectronic devices, methods for packaging microelectronic devices, and methods for forming interconnects in microelectronic devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method comprises providing a microelectronic substrate having a front side and a backside. The substrate has a microelectronic die including an integrated circuit and a terminal operatively coupled to the integrated circuit. The method also includes forming a passage at least partially through the substrate and having an opening at the front side and/or backside of the substrate. The method further includes sealing the opening with a conductive cap that closes one end of the passage while another end of the passage remains open. The method then includes filling the passage with a conductive material.

摘要： A through-wafer interconnect for imager, memory and other integrated circuit applications is disclosed, thereby eliminating the need for wire bonding, making devices incorporating such interconnects stackable and enabling wafer level packaging for imager devices. Further, a smaller and more reliable die package is achieved and circuit parasitics (e.g., L and R) are reduced due to the reduced signal path lengths.

摘要： A method for fabricating a semiconductor component includes the steps of providing a substrate having a contact on a circuit side thereof, forming an opening from a backside of the substrate to the contact, forming a conductive via in the opening in electrical contact with a surface of the contact, and forming a second contact on the back side in electrical communication with the conductive via. The method can also include the steps of thinning the substrate from the backside, forming insulating layers on the circuit side and the backside, and forming a conductor and terminal contact on the circuit side in electrical communication with the conductive via. A semiconductor component includes the contact on the circuit side, the conductive via in electrical contact with the contact, and the second contact on the backside in electrical communication with the conductive via. The semiconductor component can also include the insulating layers, the conductor and the terminal contact.

摘要： A compliant contact pin assembly and a contactor card system are provided. The compliant contact pin assembly includes a contact pin formed from a portion of a substrate with the contact pin compliantly held suspended within the substrate by a compliant coupling structure. The suspension within the substrate results in a compliant deflection orthogonal to the plane of the substrate. The contact pin assembly is formed by generally thinning the substrate around the contact pin location and then specifically thinning the substrate immediately around the contact pin location for forming a void. The contact pin is compliantly coupled, in one embodiment by compliant coupling material, and in another embodiment by compliantly flexible portions of the substrate.
