Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an integrated circuit region on a semiconductor wafer. A first metal layer pattern is formed over the integrated circuit region. A via hole is formed to extend through the first metal layer pattern and the integrated circuit region. A final metal layer pattern is formed over the first metal layer pattern and within the via hole. A plug is formed within the via hole. Thereafter, a passivation layer is formed to overlie the final metal layer pattern.

Abstract:
In a semiconductor device package having a stress relief spacer, and a manufacturing method thereof, metal interconnect fingers extend from the body of a chip provide for chip interconnection. The metal fingers are isolated from the body of the chip by a stress-relief spacer. In one example, such isolation takes the form of an air gap. In another example, such isolation takes the form of an elastomer material. In either case, mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion between the metal interconnect fingers and the body of the chip is avoided, alleviating the problems associated with cracking and delamination, and leading to improved device yield and device reliability.
