摘要:
A semiconductor wafer has a multi-stage structure that damps and contains nascent cracks generated during dicing and inhibits moisture penetration into the active region of a die. The wafer includes an array of die regions separated by scribe lanes. The die regions include an active region and a first ring that surrounds the active region. A portion of the first ring includes a low-k dielectric material. A second ring includes a stack of alternating layers of metal and interlayer dielectric (ILD) material. A dummy metal region around the rings includes a stacked dummy metal features and surrounds the active region. A regular or irregular staggered arrangement of saw grid process control (SGPC) features reduces mechanical stress during dicing.

A semiconductor package has a lead frame and a power die. The lead frame has a first die paddle with a cavity formed entirely therethrough. The power die, which has a lower surface, is mounted on the first die paddle such that a first portion of the lower surface is attached to the first die paddle using a solderless die-attach adhesive, and a second portion of the lower surface, is not attached to the first die paddle and abuts the cavity formed in the first die paddle such that the second portion is exposed.

A method of imaging a feature of a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) imaging a first portion of a semiconductor device to form a first imaged portion; (b) imaging a subsequent portion of the semiconductor device to form a subsequent imaged portion; (c) adding the subsequent imaged portion to the first imaged portion to form a combined imaged portion; and (d) comparing the combined imaged portion to a reference image of a feature to determine a level of correlation of the combined imaged portion to the reference image.

A semiconductor chip grid array package includes a die attach pad and a plurality of connector pads. A semiconductor die is mounted on the die attach pad, the semiconductor die having external connection terminals electrically connected respectively to the connector pads. An encapsulating material encapsulates the die and connector pads. A stud protrudes from each of the connector pads for providing an external electrical contact for the semiconductor chip grid array package. Each of the connector pads and respective studs are formed from an electrically conductive sheet. The connector pads have a thickness of at least 60% of the thickness of the conductive sheet and the respective studs have a thickness of no more than 40% of the thickness of the conductive sheet.

A coupling apparatus includes a lens disposed between a port, such as a photodetector, and a light source, such as a fiber. The lens is aligned such that light emitted from the light source is focused by the lens onto the port. Between the lens and light source and/or lens and port, a low contrast medium is disposed to reduce reflection that could degrade signal strength.

A new efficient framework based on a Constant-size Ciphertext Policy Comparative Attribute-Based Encryption (CCP-CABE) approach. CCP-CABE assists lightweight mobile devices and storing privacy-sensitive sensitive data into cloudbased storage by offloading major cryptography-computation overhead into the cloud without exposing data content to the cloud. CCP-CABE extends existing attribute-based data access control solutions by incorporating comparable attributes to incorporate more flexible security access control policies. CCP-CABE generates constant-size ciphertext regardless of the number of involved attributes, which is suitable for mobile devices considering their limited communication and storage capacities.

A semiconductor die package is assembled from a lead frame having lead fingers with a bonding end adjacent a die flag, and an elongate region extending away from the die flag. A semiconductor die is mounted on the die flag and electrodes of the semiconductor die are electrically connected to the bonding ends with bond wires. Each elongate region is bent into an external connector lead with mounting feet. The elongate region of each of the lead fingers protrudes from a housing formed from a mold compound. The mold compound extends from the housing to provide insulated support fingers molded to the external connector leads.

A process for assembling a Chip-On-Lead packaged semiconductor device includes the steps of: mounting and sawing a wafer to provide individual semiconductor dies; performing a first molding operation on a lead frame; depositing epoxy on the lead frame via a screen printing process; attaching one of the singulated dies on the lead frame with the epoxy, where the die attach is done at room temperature; and curing the epoxy in an oven. Throughput improvements may be ascribed to not including a hot die attach process. An optional plasma cleaning step may be performed, which greatly improves wire bonding quality and a second molding quality. In addition, since a first molding operation is performed before the formation of epoxy to avoid the problem of the epoxy hanging in the air, the delamination risk between the epoxy and the die is avoided.

A method of forming a wire bond in a semiconductor device includes forming a first bump of a first composition proximate to a probe mark on a bond pad. A second bump of the first composition is formed adjacent to the first bump such that the first and second bumps are formed away from the probe mark. A wire of a second composition that is harder than the first composition is attached on top of the first and second bumps to form an interconnection.

A method of assembling an integrated circuit (IC) device includes the steps of providing a lead frame or substrate panel, attaching a semiconductor die to the lead frame or substrate panel and electrically coupling the die to the lead frame or substrate panel. The method further includes encapsulating the die with a first encapsulant, and the encapsulating the first encapsulant with a second encapsulant where the second encapsulant includes a material that provides electromagnetic shielding.
