    Abstract: Some implementations provide a semiconductor device that includes a first die and an optical receiver. The first die includes a back side layer having a thickness that is sufficiently thin to allow an optical signal to traverse through the back side layer. The optical receiver is configured to receive several optical signals through the back side layer of the first die. In some implementations, each optical signal originates from a corresponding optical emitter coupled to a second die. In some implementations, the back side layer is a die substrate. In some implementations, the optical signal traverses a substrate portion of the back side layer. The first die further includes an active layer. The optical receiver is part of the active layer. In some implementations, the semiconductor device includes a second die that includes an optical emitter. The second die coupled to the back side of the first die.

    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer has an integrated through substrate via created from a backside of the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer includes a semiconductor substrate and a shallow trench isolation (STI) layer pad on a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor wafer also includes an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer formed on a contact etch stop layer, separating the ILD layer from the STI layer pad on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor wafer further includes a through substrate via that extends through the STI layer pad and the semiconductor substrate to couple with at least one contact within the ILD layer. The through substrate via includes a conductive filler material and a sidewall isolation liner layer. The sidewall isolation liner layer has a portion that possibly extends into, but not through, the STI layer pad.

    Abstract: A voltage-switchable dielectric layer may be employed on a die for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The voltage-switchable dielectric layer functions as a dielectric layer between terminals of the die during normal operation of the die. When ESD events occur at the terminals of the die, a high voltage between the terminals switches the voltage-switchable dielectric layer into a conducting layer to allow current to discharge to a ground terminal of the die without the current passing through circuitry of the die. Thus, damage to the circuitry of the die is reduced or prevented during ESD events on dies with the voltage-switchable dielectric layer. The voltage-switchable dielectric layer may be deposited on the back side of a die for protection during stacking with a second die to form a stacked IC. A method includes depositing a voltage-switchable dielectric layer on a first die between a first terminal and a second terminal.
