摘要:
Warpage and breakage of integrated circuit substrates is reduced by compensating for the stress imposed on the substrate by thin films formed on a surface of the substrate. Particularly advantageous for substrates having a thickness substantially less than about 150 μm, a stress-tuning layer is formed on a surface of the substrate to substantially offset or balance stress in the substrate which would otherwise cause the substrate to bend. The substrate includes a plurality of bonding pads on a first surface for electrical connection to other component.

Methods and apparatus for performing molding on die on wafer interposers. A method includes receiving an interposer assembly having a die side and an opposite side including two or more integrated circuit dies mounted on the die side of the interposer, the interposer assembly having spaces formed on the die side of the interposer between the two or more integrated circuit dies; mounting at least one stress relief feature on the die side of the interposer assembly in one of the spaces between the two or more integrated circuit dies; and molding the integrated circuit dies using a mold compound, the mold compound surrounding the two or more integrated circuit dies and the at least one stress relief feature. An apparatus is disclosed having integrated circuits mounted on a die side of an interposer, stress relief features between the integrated circuits and mold compound over the integrated circuits.

A method includes bonding a first package component on a first surface of a second package component, and probing the first package component and the second package component from a second surface of the second package component. The step of probing is performed by probing through connectors on the second surface of the second package component. The connectors are coupled to the first package component. After the step of probing, a third package component is bonded on the first surface of the second package component.

A flux residue cleaning system includes first and second immersion chambers, first and second spray chambers, and a drying chamber. The first immersion chamber softens an outer region of a flux residue formed around microbumps interposed between a wafer and a die when the wafer is immersed in a first chemical. The first spray chamber removes the outer region of the flux residue when the wafer is impinged upon by a first chemical spray in order to expose an inner region of the flux residue. The second immersion chamber softens the inner region of the flux residue when the wafer is immersed in a second chemical. The second spray chamber removes the inner region of the flux residue when the wafer is impinged upon by a second chemical spray in order to clean the wafer to a predetermined standard. The drying chamber dries the wafer.

Methods and apparatus for performing dicing of die on wafer interposers. Methods are disclosed that include receiving an interposer assembly including one or more integrated circuit dies mounted on a die side of an interposer substrate and having scribe areas defined in spaces between the integrated circuit dies, the interposer having an opposite side for receiving external connectors; mounting the die side of the interposer assembly to a tape assembly, the tape assembly comprising an adhesive tape and preformed spacers disposed between and filling gaps between the integrated circuit dies; and sawing the interposer assembly by cutting the opposite side of the interposer in the scribe areas to make cuts through the interposer, the cuts separating the interposer into one or more die on wafer assemblies. Apparatuses are disclosed for use with the methods.

A method includes bonding a first and a second package component on a top surface of a third package component, and dispensing a polymer. The polymer includes a first portion in a space between the first and the third package components, a second portion in a space between the second and the third package components, and a third portion in a gap between the first and the second package components. A curing step is then performed on the polymer. After the curing step, the third portion of the polymer is sawed to form a trench between the first and the second package components.

A method includes forming a dielectric layer over a substrate, forming an interconnect structure over the dielectric layer, and bonding a die to the interconnect structure. The substrate is then removed, and the dielectric layer is patterned. Connectors are formed at a surface of the dielectric layer, wherein the connectors are electrically coupled to the die.
摘要:
A die having a ledge along a sidewall, and a method of forming the die, is provided. A method of packaging the die is also provided. A substrate, such as a processed wafer, is diced by forming a first notch having a first width, and then forming a second notch within the first notch such that the second notch has a second width less than the first width. The second notch extends through the substrate, thereby dicing the substrate. The difference in widths between the first width and the second width results in a ledge along the sidewalls of the dice. The dice may be placed on a substrate, e.g., an interposer, and underfill placed between the dice and the substrate. The ledge prevents or reduces the distance the underfill is drawn up between adjacent dice. A molding compound may be formed over the substrate.
