    Abstract: In an embodiment is provided a method of forming a blind via in a substrate comprising a mask layer, a conductive layer, and a dielectric layer that includes conveying the substrate to a scanning chamber; determining one or more properties of the blind via, the one or more properties comprising a top diameter, a bottom diameter, a volume, or a taper angle of about 80° or more; focusing a laser beam at the substrate to remove at least a portion of the mask layer; adjusting the laser process parameters based on the one or more properties; and focusing the laser beam, under the adjusted laser process parameters, to remove at least a portion of the dielectric layer within the volume to form the blind via. In some embodiments, the mask layer can be pre-etched. In another embodiment is provided an apparatus for forming a blind via in a substrate.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to a processing chamber having a reduced volume for performing supercritical drying processes or other phase transition processes. The chamber includes a substrate support moveably disposed on a first track and a door moveably disposed on a second track. The substrate support and door may be configured to move independently of one another and the chamber may be configured to minimize vertical movement of the substrate within the chamber.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a method of cleaning a substrate. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of cleaning a substrate in a manner that reduces or eliminates the negative effects of line stiction between semiconductor device features. In an embodiment, a method of cleaning a substrate includes exposing a substrate having high aspect ratio features formed thereon to a first solvent to remove an amount of a residual cleaning solution disposed on a surface of the substrate, exposing the surface of the substrate to a second solvent to remove the first solvent disposed on the surface of the substrate, exposing the surface of the substrate to a supercritical fluid to remove the second solvent disposed on the surface of the substrate, and exposing the surface of the substrate to electromagnetic energy.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor core assemblies and methods of forming the same. The semiconductor core assemblies described herein may be utilized to form semiconductor package assemblies, PCB assemblies, PCB spacer assemblies, chip carrier assemblies, intermediate carrier assemblies (e.g., for graphics cards), and the like. In one embodiment, a silicon substrate core is structured by direct laser patterning. One or more conductive interconnections are formed in the substrate core and one or more redistribution layers are formed on surfaces thereof. The silicon substrate core may thereafter be utilized as a core structure for a semiconductor package, PCB, PCB spacer, chip carrier, intermediate carrier, or the like.
