摘要:
Within a method for fabricating a microelectronic fabrication, and a microelectronic fabrication fabricated employing the method, there is first provided a substrate. Within the method, there is then formed over the substrate a patterned bond pad layer. There is also formed over the substrate a patterned passivation layer which passivates a series of edges of the patterned bond pad layer while leaving exposed a central portion of the patterned bond pad layer, where the patterned passivation layer has a series of protrusions within the patterned passivation layer over the series of edges of the patterned bond pad layer. There is then formed over the central portion of the patterned bond pad layer and bridging over the series of protrusions of the patterned passivation layer a first terminal electrode layer having an upper surface which is concave. Finally, there is then formed over the first terminal electrode layer a second terminal electrode layer having an upper surface which is other than concave. The method otherwise contemplates the microelectronic fabrication fabricated employing the method. A terminal electrode structure which comprises the first terminal electrode layer and the second terminal electrode layer provides enhanced passivation of the microelectronic fabrication and enhanced bondability to the terminal electrode structure.

Within a method for forming a solder interconnection structure for use within a microelectronic fabrication, there is first provided a substrate having formed thereover a bond pad. There is then formed upon the bond pad a first solder interconnection layer. There is then formed over the first solder interconnection layer an annular solder non-wettable copper oxide layer which does not cover an upper dome portion of the first solder interconnection layer. There is then formed over the upper dome portion of the first solder interconnection layer and not upon the annular solder non-wettable copper oxide layer a second solder interconnection layer.
摘要:
A semiconductor device interconnect package assembly for TAB packages is disclosed having a central portion of material which is utilized as part of the package structure to provide scratch protection to the active surface of a semiconductor die and to the inner lead bonding areas. The central portion of material can be modified in various ways to improve the overall performance of the package, and to reduce stress generated in the TAB package due to thermal mismatch. The assembly also includes a plurality of apertures in the substrate film which overlap and expose a plurality of groups of inner lead portions. The plurality of apertures allows each group of exposed inner lead portions to be encapsulated independently from each other group. By encapsulating each of these groups separately, scratch protection is provided to the inner lead bonding areas while simultaneously reducing the stress on each of the leads due to the heating and cooling of the encapsulating material.

A high gain Josephson junction logic circuit is provided. The novel circuit comprises a high gain non-linear threshold input Josephson junction logic circuit which is coupled to a high gain Josephson junction amplifier. The high gain input circuit provides the capability of driving a larger number of output circuits or employing a larger number of input signals.

A single Josephson junction device is arranged in a single branch which comprises an external source resistor connected in series with an output resistor and a Josephson junction device. An input node and an input resistor are in series and connected to the node between the output resistor and the Josephson junction device. Voltage signals applied to the input voltage node are amplified by connecting a high gain voltage output in parallel with the output resistor and providing sensing means for sensing the voltage output across the output resistor only when the Josephson junction device is switching from its low impedance state to its high impedance state.
