A method and device for preventing the bridging of adjacent metal traces in a bump-on-trace structure. An embodiment comprises determining the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and process parameters of the package components. The design parameters are then analyzed and the design parameters may be modified based on the CTE and process parameters of the package components.

A system and method for forming photoresists over semiconductor substrates is provided. An embodiment comprises a photoresist with a concentration gradient. The concentration gradient may be formed by using a series of dry film photoresists, wherein each separate dry film photoresist has a different concentration. The separate dry film photoresists may be formed separately and then placed onto the semiconductor substrate before being patterned. Once patterned, openings through the photoresist may have a tapered sidewall, allowing for a better coverage of the seed layer and a more uniform process to form conductive materials through the photoresist.

An integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate; a through-semiconductor via (TSV) opening extending into the semiconductor substrate; and a TSV liner in the TSV opening. The TSV liner includes a sidewall portion on a sidewall of the TSV opening and a bottom portion at a bottom of the TSV opening. The bottom portion of the TSV liner has a bottom height greater than a middle thickness of the sidewall portion of the TSV liner.
摘要:
A system and method for stacking semiconductor devices in three dimensions is provided. In an embodiment two or more semiconductor dies are attached to a carrier and encapsulated. Connections of the two or more semiconductor dies are exposed, and the two or more semiconductor dies may be thinned to form connections on an opposite side. Additional semiconductor dies may then be placed in either an offset or overhanging position.
