摘要:
Bond pads on an integrated circuit are provided with planarizing dielectric structures to permit the electroplating of metal posts having planar top surfaces. The metal posts contact at least three sides of the planarizing dielectric structures. The planarizing dielectric structures can be used on integrated circuits having bond pads of different sizes to electroplate metal posts having the same height.

System and method for enhancing the performance of wafer chip scale packages (WCSP). A preferred embodiment comprises a parent electrical device 305 and a daughter electrical device 310 coupled to a bottom surface of the parent electrical device, wherein the bottom surface is also used to attach the parent electrical device to a circuit board. A passivation layer is formed over the daughter electrical device to protect it from environmental dangers. The passivation layer also prevents the detachment of the daughter electrical device when the parent electrical device is attached to the circuit board. Solder bumps attached to the parent electrical device permit the attachment of the parent electrical device to the circuit board. The inclusion of the daughter electrical device can add desired functionality as well as permit the use of optimized fabrication processes for different types of integrated circuitry.

A computerized system and method for customizing bond programs in order to compensate first for variabilities in an integrated circuit (IC) “slave” bonder, and second to any irregularities in a “slave” circuit positioned on the slave bonder for attaching connecting bonds onto the IC bond pads. According to the invention, a “master” segmentator groups the bond pads of a “master” circuit on a master bonder into segments and stores the reference data related to these segments in a master file. Next, a slave regenerator, coupled to the master file, regenerates the master reference data so that variable characteristics of the slave bonder are defined and adaptively compensated. Finally, a slave corrector, coupled to the salve regenerator, corrects the bond program for the slave circuit on the adaptively compensated slave bonder. The slave bonder attaches the connecting bonds based on the computed correct bond locations.

System and method for a reduced foot print package with tolerance for thermal and mechanical stresses for integrated circuits. A preferred embodiment comprises a package for an integrated circuit die comprising a plurality of input/output contacts and a die support to hold the integrated circuit die. The die support comprises a plurality of support arms, wherein each support arm is electrically disjoint and having an end with an exposed fuse lead that will be external of the packaged integrated circuit die. The exposed fuse leads can be used to fix the packaged integrated circuit die to a substrate and provide additional bonding strength to increase tolerance to thermal and mechanical stresses.

Plastic encapsulated semiconductor devices having elevated topographical features on the chip mount pad to control the extent of delamination at the plastic to substrate interface, thereby allowing reliable down bond sites to be formed on the top surface of the chip mount pad which may serve as a ground plane. The cost effective invention is applicable to a variety of semiconductor packages, including both leaded and non-leaded types for high frequency circuits.

Various preferred processes and equipment are described herein that more efficiently handle residual semiconductor parts during packaging. The processes include picking and removing all of the bad parts from a wafer before picking the good parts and picking all of the good parts first without picking any part necessary to align the wafer. The equipment includes several embodiments of a transfer machine that accommodates the efficient transfer of semiconductor parts between tacky film, waffle packs and tape and reel containment systems. Residual good parts are stored in waffle packs and can be subsequently reused in the packaging process.
