    Abstract: A surface of at least one of an integrated circuit (IC) die structure or a substrate structure to which the IC die structure is to be bonded include a biphilic region suitable for liquid droplet confinement and droplet-based fine alignment of the IC die structure to the substrate structure. A biphilic region may include an inner region surrounded by bonding regions, or between an adjacent pair of bonding regions. The inner region may improve fine alignment, particularly if there is a significant amount of tilt between a bonding surface of the IC die structure and a bonding surface of the substrate structure during placement. The inner region may, for example, facilitate the confinement of two or more droplets on the bonding regions. Inner or outer regions of a biphilic structure may be segmented or contiguous and intersecting IC die edges may also be non-orthogonal.

    Abstract: A surface of an integrated circuit (IC) die structure and a substrate to which the IC die structure is to be bonded include biphilic regions suitable for liquid droplet formation and droplet-based fine alignment of the IC die structure to the substrate. To ensure warpage of the IC die structure does not interfere with droplet-based fine alignment process, an IC die structure of greater thickness is aligned to the substrate and thickness of the IC die structure subsequently reduced. In some embodiments, a back side of the IC die structure is polished back post attachment. In some alternative embodiments, the IC die structure includes sacrificial die-level carrier is removed after fine alignment and/or bonding.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit assembly may be fabricated to include an integrated circuit device having a backside surface and a metal matrix composite layer on the backside surface, wherein the metal matrix composite layer has a filler material disposed therein to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion thereof. The filler material may be a plurality of graphitic carbon filler particles, wherein the plurality of graphitic carbon filler particles has an average aspect ratio of greater than about 10, or the filler material may be a plurality of diamond particles, wherein the filler material is clad with a metal material.

    Abstract: Reusable composite stencils for spray processes, particularly for spray processes used in the fabrication of integrated circuit devices, may be fabricated having a permanent core and at least one sacrificial material layer. Thus, in operation, when a predetermined amount of the sacrificial material layer has been ablated away by a material being sprayed in the spray process, the remaining sacrificial material layer may be removed and reapplied to its original thickness. Therefore, the permanent core, which is usually expensive and/or difficult to fabricate, may be repeatedly reused.
