摘要:
Light emitting diode (LED) package structures employing large area substrates are described. Panel or reel-to-reel substrate processing is utilized in the manufacture of such LED package structures. In some embodiments, electrochemically deposited metal patterns and through substrate vias (TSuVs) are formed through glass substrates and/or interposers. In some embodiments, the metal deposited into the TSuVs offer high thermal conductivity a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is to closely match the CTE of the glass. Singulated LED package structures including a plurality of LEDs arrayed for displays, such as, but not limited to, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and LED displays or for general purpose LED light sources are described, as are LED package structures including active devices (e.g., ICs) and/or passive devices (e.g., capacitors, inductors, resistors, etc.) integrated with LEDs at the package level.

In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a first layer having at least one interconnect formed in an interlayer dielectric (ILD), a second layer formed over the first layer having a second at least one interconnect, a third layer formed over the second layer, the third layer defining at least one air gap between the second at least one interconnect and the third layer, and at least one shunt selectively covering the first and second at least one interconnects. In another embodiment, a method comprises forming a first layer comprising an ILD and a first at least one interconnect, forming a second layer over the first layer, the second layer having a second at least one interconnect, depositing at least one shunt over the first and second at least one interconnects, forming a third layer over the second layer, and evaporating a portion of the second layer to create at least one air gap between the second at least one interconnect and the third layer.

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for reducing within die thickness variations by modifying the concentration of components of a low-acid electroplating solution. For one embodiment, the leveler concentration is increased sufficiently to reduce within die thickness variations to a specified value. For one embodiment of the invention, the leveler and suppressor are increased to reduce within die thickness variations and substantially reduce a plurality of electroplating defects. In such an embodiment the combined concentration of leveler and suppressor is determined to maintain adequate gap fill.
摘要:
A multiple stage method of electrolessly depositing a metal layer is presented. This method may have the two main stages of first forming a thin metal layer on a metal surface using an electroless plating solution containing activating agents that are highly reactive reducing agents, and second, forming a bulk metal layer over the thin metal layer by using an electroless plating solution containing mildly reactive reducing agents. Through this two stage method, the use of highly reactive reducing agents that may cause the formation of contaminant particles may be minimized. By minimizing the formation of contaminant particles in the electroless plating solution, the lifetime of the solution may be extended and the current leakage between metal interconnect lines may be reduced.

摘要:
A nano-electrode or nano-wire may be etched centrally to form a gap between nano-electrode portions. The portions may ultimately constitute a single electron transistor. The source and drain formed from the electrode portions are self-aligned with one another. Using spacer technology, the gap between the electrodes may be made very small.

A method and apparatus for a semiconductor device having a semiconductor device having increased conductive material reliability is described. That method and apparatus comprises forming a conductive path on a substrate. The conductive path made of a first material. A second material is then deposited on the conductive path. Once the second material is deposited on the conductive path, the diffusion of the second material into the conductive path is facilitated. The second material has a predetermined solubility to substantially diffuse to grain boundaries within the first material.
