A system and method for forming a semiconductor die contact structure is disclosed. An embodiment comprises a top level metal contact, such as copper, with a thickness large enough to act as a buffer for underlying low-k, extremely low-k, or ultra low-k dielectric layers. A contact pad or post-passivation interconnect may be formed over the top level metal contact, and a copper pillar or solder bump may be formed to be in electrical connection with the top level metal contact.

Apparatus and methods for providing a package substrate and assembly for a flip chip integrated circuit. A substrate is provided having a solder mask layer, openings in the solder mask layer for conductive bump pads, and openings in the solder mask layer between the conductive bump pads exposing a dielectric layer underneath the solder mask layer. A flip chip integrated circuit is attached to the substrate using a thermal reflow to reflow conductive solder bumps on the integrated circuit to the conductive bump pads. An underfill material is dispensed beneath the integrated circuit and physically contacting the dielectric layer of the substrate. In additional embodiments, one or more integrated circuits are flip chip mounted to the substrate. The resulting assembly has improved thermal characteristics over the assemblies of the prior art.

A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a sacrificial layer over a substrate. A first dielectric layer is formed over the sacrificial layer. A plurality of conductive structures are formed within the sacrificial layer and the first dielectric layer. The sacrificial layer is treated through the first dielectric layer, at least partially removing the sacrificial layer and forming at least one air gap between two of the conductive structures. A surface of the first dielectric layer is treated, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, after the formation of the air gap. A third dielectric layer is formed over the second dielectric layer. At least one opening is formed within the third dielectric layer such that the second dielectric layer substantially protects the first dielectric layer from damage by the step of forming the opening.
