A device includes a substrate having a front side and a backside, a through-via extending from the backside to the front side of the substrate, and a conductive pad on the backside of the substrate and over the through-via. The conductive pad has a substantially planar top surface. A conductive bump has a non-planar top surface over the substantially planar top surface and aligned to the through-via. The conductive bump and the conductive pad are formed of a same material. No interface is formed between the conductive bump and the conductive pad.

A method of forming integrated circuits includes laminating a patterned film including an opening onto a wafer, wherein a bottom die in the wafer is exposed through the opening. A top die is placed into the opening. The top die fits into the opening with substantially no gap between the patterned film and the top die. The top die is then bonded onto the bottom die, followed by curing the patterned film.

An apparatus for supporting a wafer includes a base, and a gas-penetration layer. The gas-penetration layer and a portion of the base directly underlying the gas-penetration layer form a gas passage therebetween. The gas passage is configured to be sealed by the wafer placed directly over the gas-penetration layer. The apparatus further includes a valve connected to the gas passage.

A device includes a substrate, and a plurality of dielectric layers over the substrate. A plurality of metallization layers is formed in the plurality of dielectric layers, wherein at least one of the plurality of metallization layers comprises a metal pad. A through-substrate via (TSV) extends from the top level of the plurality of the dielectric layers to a bottom surface of the substrate. A deep conductive via extends from the top level of the plurality of dielectric layers to land on the metal pad. A metal line is formed over the top level of the plurality of dielectric layers and interconnecting the TSV and the deep conductive via.
摘要:
A system and method for stacking semiconductor dies is disclosed. A preferred embodiment comprises forming through-silicon vias through the wafer, protecting a rim edge of the wafer, and then removing the unprotected portions so that the rim edge has a greater thickness than the thinned wafer. This thickness helps the fragile wafer survive further transport and process steps. The rim edge is then preferably removed during singulation of the individual dies from the wafer.

A method for fabricating stacked wafers is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a wafer having a chip side and a non-chip side, the chip side comprising a plurality of semiconductor chips. A plurality of dies is provided, each of the die bonded to one of the plurality of semiconductor chips. The chip side of the wafer and the plurality of dies are encapsulated with a protecting material. The non-chip side of the wafer is thinned to an intended thickness. The wafer is then diced to separate the wafer into individual semiconductor packages.
