In one embodiment of the invention, an integrated circuit package includes an integrated circuit, a package substrate, a first bump, a second bump and a shunt to provide for current distribution and reliability redundancy. The first and second bumps provide a first and second electric current pathway between the integrated circuit and package substrate. The shunt provides a third electric current pathway between the first bump and the second bump.

Selective removal of on-die redistribution interconnect material from a scribe-line region is generally described. In one example, an apparatus includes a first semiconductor die having a redistribution layer comprising redistribution dielectric and one or more redistribution metal interconnects, a second semiconductor die coupled with the first semiconductor die, the second semiconductor die having a redistribution layer comprising redistribution dielectric and one or more redistribution metal interconnects, and a scribe-line region disposed between the first semiconductor die and second semiconductor die, the scribe-line region having a majority or substantially all of redistribution dielectric or redistribution metal, or suitable combinations thereof, selectively removed to enable die singulation through the scribe-line region.

Methods of fabricating a capped interconnect for a microelectronic device which includes a sealing feature for any gaps between a capping layer and an interconnect and structures formed therefrom. The sealing features improve encapsulation of the interconnect, which substantially reduces or prevents electromigration and/or diffusion of conductive material from the capped interconnect.

The present invention discloses a method and system for data distribution in a High-Performance Computing cluster, the High-Performance Computing cluster comprising a Management node and M computation nodes where M is an integer greater than or equal to 2, the Management node distributing the specified data to the M computation nodes, the method comprising steps of: dividing the M computation nodes into m layers where m is an integer greater than or equal to 2; dividing the specified data into k shares where k is an integer greater than or equal to 2; distributing, by the Management node, the k shares of data to a first layer of computation nodes as sub-nodes thereof, each of the first layer of computation nodes obtaining at least one share of data therein; distributing, by each of the computation nodes, the at least one share of data distributed by a parent node thereof to sub-computation nodes thereof; and requesting, by each of the computation nodes, the remaining specified data to other computation nodes, to thereby obtain all the specified data. The method and system enable data to be distributed rapidly to various computation nodes in the High-Performance Computing cluster.

A method is described of reducing the line to line capacitance within semiconductor devices and a device demonstrating the same. The device includes a spacer layer disposed between an etch stop material and a conductive layer. Separating the etch stop layer from the conductive layers by the spacer layer may decrease the line to line capacitance significantly in a semiconductor device.

In an embodiment, a trench is formed above a via from a photo resist (PR) trench pattern in a dielectric layer. The trench is defined by two sidewall portions and base portions. The base portions of the sidewalls are locally treated by a post treatment using the PR trench pattern as mask to enhance mechanical strength of portions of the dielectric layer underneath the base portions. Seed and barrier layers are deposited on the trench and the via. The trench and via are filled with a metal layer. In another embodiment, a trench is formed from a PR trench pattern in a dielectric layer. A pillar PR is deposited and etched to define a pillar opening having a pillar surface. The pillar opening is locally treated on the pillar surface by a post treatment to enhance mechanical strength of portion of the dielectric layer underneath the pillar surface.
摘要:
A method of forming self-passivating interconnects. At least one of two mating bond structures is formed, at least in part, from an alloy of a first metal and a second metal (or other element). The second metal is capable of migrating through the first metal to free surfaces of the mating bond structures. During bonding, the two mating bond structures are bonded together to form an interconnect, and the second metal segregates to free surfaces of this interconnect to form a passivation layer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A test key for bridging and continuity testing is provided, comprising at least one test unit, which is composed of a first strand and a second strand embedded or non-touching intertwined with each other. The strand comprising a closed hook, a corresponding extension and a corresponding connection. The corresponding connections are electrically connected to an external voltage by at least one test pad, wherein the closed hook of the first strand is parallel with the closed hook of the second strand. A first corner is formed between the closed hooks and the corresponding extension, causing the closed hook of the first strands to be adjacent and parallel with the closed hook and the extension of the second strand. Moreover, another corner is formed between the extension and the corresponding connection, causing the connection of the first strand to be adjacent and parallel with the extension of second strand, forming an intertwining pattern.
