A stacked, multi-die semiconductor device and method of forming thereof. A preferred embodiment comprises disposing a stack of semiconductor dies to a substrate. The stacking arrangement is such that a lateral periphery of an upper die is cantilevered over a lower die thereby forming a recess. A supporting adhesive layer containing a filler is disposed upon the substrate about the lateral periphery of the lower die and substantially filling the recess. In one preferred embodiment, the filler comprises microspheres. In another preferred embodiment, the filler comprises a dummy die, an active die, or a passive die.

A probe card having a member for sending and receiving electrical signals for operational testing of a semiconductor integrated circuit, and a plurality of probe pins extending from the member in a manner which causes free ends of the pins to contact wafer test pads substantially across a maximum dimension of the pads. Also, a test pad for a wafer or a substrate having a pad of electrically conductive material disposed in an area between seal rings of the wafer or substrate, the pad having a shape and/or a rotational orientation within the area between the seal rings that minimizes pad material immediately adjacent the seal rings. Further, a test pad for a wafer or substrate including a passivation layer disposed thereover, the test pad formed of a layer of electrically conductive material and disposed in an opening in the passivation layer, the opening disposed over an uppermost metal layer of the wafer or substrate, the opening and the test pad dimensioned so that the test pad does not contact the passivation layer. Still further, a protection structure for a wafer die core comprising a wafer including a passivation layer and a test pad extending through the passivation layer, and a trench in the passivation layer adjacent to an edge of the test pad.

A process for separating IC dies from a wafer substrate. In one embodiment, complete separation channels are initially cut through the wafer between dies along one axis. Next, partial separation channels are cut into the wafer along an intersecting axis, leaving wafer material connecting adjacent dies. In another embodiment, partial separation channels are cut into the wafer along one axis, after which complete separation channels are cut through the wafer along the intersecting axis. In still another embodiment, partial separation channels are cut along both axes.

A method for positioning bond pads in a semiconductor die comprises the steps of (I) setting parameters including (a) setting a baseline pad pitch to a first value, (b) setting a first pad position equal to a first pad value and (c) providing a focal point; (II) determining a first angle between a first line through a center of the first pad position and the focal point and a second line through a center of the semiconductor die and normal to the edge; (III) determining a first pad spacing increment value equal to the first value divided by a cosine of the first angle; (IV) setting a second pad position equal to a second pad value, wherein the second pad value at least equals the first pad value plus the first value if both of the first bond pad and the second bond pad are ground pad or power pad with the same potential, else the second pad value at least equals the first pad value plus the first pad spacing increment value; and (V) using the first and second pad values to respectively position a first bond pad and a second bond pad along the edge of the semiconductor die. Beginning from the bond pad closest to the die corner, optimized positions of bond pads can be determined by repeating steps I to V.

A method of automatic identifying and skipping defective work pieces mainly utilizes a reject eye formed inside the die covering area on a substrate to automatically determine whether the skipping procedure is triggered or not. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: finding and aligning the die eye of the die as well as the lead eye of the substrate; finding the reject eye when the die eye and the lead eye is evaluated as not being present; stopping the wire bonding operation and skipping to next work piece when the reject eye is located. The method of present invention is capable of automatically determining whether the skipping procedure is triggered or not thereby reducing operating down time and increasing throughput.
