Abstract: A method of manufacturing a micro-battery is provided. The method includes forming a micro-battery device by forming a first metal anode via and a first metal cathode via in a first substrate, forming a first metal layer on a bottom side of the first substrate, forming a first battery element on a top side of the substrate, forming an encapsulation layer around the first battery element, forming trenches through the encapsulation layer and the first substrate on different sides of the first battery element, and forming a metal sealing layer in the trenches to cover at least a plurality of sidewall surfaces of the first battery element. The metal sealing layer is electrically connected to the battery element through the first metal layer and the first metal cathode via.

Abstract: A interposer sandwich structure comprises a top interposer and a bottom interposer enclosing an integrated circuit electronic device that includes means for attaching the device to the bottom interposer, and an interconnection structure connecting the top interposer to the bottom interposer. The top interposer may also be directly connected to a chip carrier in addition to the bottom interposer. The structure provides shielding and protection of the device against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), and Electromagnetic Conductivity (EMC) in miniaturized 3D packaging.

Abstract: Techniques for high speed handling of ultra-small chips (e.g., micro-chips) by selective laser bonding and/or debonding are provided. In one aspect, a method includes: providing a first wafer including chips bonded to a surface thereof; contacting the first wafer with a second wafer, the second wafer including a substrate bonded to a surface thereof, wherein the contacting aligns individual chips with bonding sites on the substrate; and debonding the individual chips from the first wafer using a debonding laser having a small spot size of about 0.5 μm to about 100 μm, and ranges therebetween. A system is also provided that has digital cameras, a motorized XYZ-axis stage, and a computer control system configured to i) control a spot size of the at least one laser source and ii) adjust a positioning of the sample to align individual chips with a target area of the laser.
