摘要:
Methods and apparatus for forming a semiconductor device package on an interposer using a micro-bump layer are disclosed. The micro-bump layer may comprise micro-bumps and micro-bump lines, where a micro-bump is used as a vertical connection between a die and the interposer, and a micro-bump line is used as a horizontal connection for signal transmission between different dies above the interposer. The micro-bump lines may be formed at the same time as the formation of the micro-bumps with little or no additional cost.

An embodiment is a circuit. The circuit includes active circuitry, a first capacitor, a first fuse, a second capacitor, and a second fuse. The active circuitry has a first power node and a second power node. The first capacitor is coupled to the first fuse serially to form a first segment. The second capacitor is coupled to the second fuse serially to form a second segment. The first segment and the second segment are coupled together in parallel and between the first power node and the second power node.

In accordance with an embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor die, an interposer, and conductive bumps bonding the semiconductor die to the interposer. The semiconductor die comprises a first metallization layer, and the first metallization layer comprises a first conductive pattern. The interposer comprises a second metallization layer, and the second metallization layer comprises a second conductive pattern. Some of the conductive bumps electrically couple the first conductive pattern to the second conductive pattern to form a coil. Other embodiments contemplate other configurations of coils, inductors, and/or transformers, and contemplate methods of manufacture.

A method and apparatus for testing the electrical characteristics, such as electrical continuity, is provided. A substrate, such as a wafer or an interposer, having a plurality of through vias (TVs) is provided. Along one side of the substrate, a conductive layer electrically couples two or more of the TVs. Thereafter, the electrical characteristics of the TVs may be test by, for example, a probe card in electrical contact with the TVs on the other side of the substrate. During testing, current passes through a first TV from a first side of the substrate, to the conductive layer on a second side of the substrate, to a second TV, and back to the first side of the substrate through the second TV.
