Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) dies and method for manufacturing the same are described herein that mitigate pattern loading effects during manufacture. In one example, the IC includes a die body having a first circuit block separated from an adjacent second circuit block by a buffer zone. The first and second circuit blocks have first and second transistors that are at least partially fabricated from a gate metal layer and disposed immediately adjacent the buffer zone. A dummy structure is formed in the buffer zone and is also at least partially fabricated from the gate metal layer. An amount of gate metal layer material in the dummy structure is selected to mitigate differences in the amount of gate metal layer material in regions of first and second circuit blocks that neighbor each other across the buffer zone.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for enabling copper-to-copper (Cu—Cu) bonding at reduced temperatures (e.g., at most 200° C.) by significantly reducing Cu oxide formation. These techniques provide for faster cycle time and entail no extraordinary measures (e.g., forming gas). Such techniques may also enable longer queue (Q) or staging times. One example semiconductor structure generally includes a semiconductor layer, an adhesion layer disposed above the semiconductor layer, an anodic metal layer disposed above the adhesion layer, and a cathodic metal layer disposed above the anodic metal layer. An oxidation potential of the anodic metal layer may be greater than an oxidation potential of the cathodic metal layer. Such a semiconductor structure may be utilized in fabricating IC packages implementing 2.5D or 3D integration.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for heat management in an integrated circuit (IC) package using a lid with recessed areas in the inner surfaces of the lid. The recessed areas (e.g., trenches) provide receptacles for accepting a portion of a thermal interface material (TIM) that may be forced out when the lid is positioned on the TIM above one or more integrated circuit (IC) dies during fabrication of the IC package. In this manner, the TIM bond line thickness (BLT) between the lid and the IC die(s) may be reduced for decreased thermal resistance, but sufficient interfacial adhesion is provided for the IC package with such a lid to avoid TIM delamination.
