摘要:
A method is provided for fabricating a unit including a semiconductor element such as a sensor unit, e.g., for optical imaging. A semiconductor element has plurality of conductive features exposed at the front surface and semiconductive or conductive material exposed at least one of the front and rear surfaces. At least some of the conductive features are insulated from the exposed semiconductive or conductive material. By electrodeposition, an insulative layer is formed to overlie the at least one of exposed semiconductive material or conductive material. Subsequently, a plurality of conductive contacts and a plurality of conductive traces are formed overlying the electrodeposited insulative layer, the conductive traces connecting the conductive features to the conductive contacts. The unit can be incorporated in a camera module having an optical element in registration with an imaging area of the semiconductor element.

A microelectronic package includes a microelectronic element having contacts, a flexible substrate spaced from and overlying the microelectronic element and a plurality of conductive posts extending from the flexible substrate and projecting away from the microelectronic element. The conductive posts are electrically interconnected with the microelectronic element. Each conductive post has a conductive base that is in contact with the flexible substrate and a conductive tip that extends from the base, with the base of the conductive post having a larger diameter than the tip of the conductive post. In certain embodiments, the conductive base and the conductive tip have a cylindrical shape.

Elongated solder masses are formed by contacting the molten solder with the walls of holes in a dielectric layer overlying the front face of a chip element such as a wafer. The elongated solder masses have a relatively large aspect ratio, or ratio of height to maximum diameter, and thus provide a high reliability connection with a relatively small diameter compatible with closely spaced contacts on the chip.

At least some of the unit connections are electrically connected to the chip. The packaged microelectronic device also includes a package structure including structure defining package terminals, at least some of the package terminals being electrically connected to the chip. The package structure, the unit or both define a downwardly-facing bottom surface of the package, the terminals being exposed at the bottom surface.
摘要:
A microelectronic element is mounted to a substrate using solder elements disposed at least partially within vias of the substrate. The vias have tapering walls. During reflow of the solder, the microelectronic element may move toward the substrate. Such movement may be impelled, for example, by interfacial tension between the solder and the tapering via wall. This movement reduces the height of the completed assembly.

摘要:
A compliant structure is provided on a semiconductor wafer. The compliant structure includes cavities. The compliant structure and the wafer seal the cavities during process steps used to form conductive elements on the compliant structure. After processing, vents are opened to connect the cavities to the exterior of the assembly. The vents may be formed by severing the wafer and compliant structure to form individual units, so that the severance planes intersect channels or other voids communicating with the cavities. Alternatively, the vents may be formed by forming holes in the compliant structure, or by opening bores extending through the wafer.
