摘要: Devices and techniques including process steps make use of recesses in conductive interconnect structures to form reliable low temperature metallic bonds. A fill layer is deposited into the recesses prior to bonding. First conductive interconnect structures are bonded at ambient temperatures to second metallic interconnect structures using direct bonding techniques, with the fill layers in the recesses in one or both of the first and second interconnect structures.

摘要: Direct bonded stack structures for increased reliability and improved yields in microelectronics are provided. Structural features and stack configurations are provided for memory modules and 3DICs to reduce defects in vertically stacked dies. Example processes alleviate warpage stresses between a thicker top die and direct bonded dies beneath it, for example. An etched surface on the top die may relieve warpage stresses. An example stack may include a compliant layer between dies. Another stack configuration replaces the top die with a layer of molding material to circumvent warpage stresses. An array of cavities on a bonding surface can alleviate stress forces. One or more stress balancing layers may also be created on a side of the top die or between other dies to alleviate or counter warpage. Rounding of edges can prevent stresses and pressure forces from being destructively transmitted through die and substrate layers. These measures may be applied together or in combinations in a single package.

摘要: Structures and techniques provide bond enhancement in microelectronics by trapping contaminants and byproducts during bonding processes, and arresting cracks. Example bonding surfaces are provided with recesses, sinks, traps, or cavities to capture small particles and gaseous byproducts of bonding that would otherwise create detrimental voids between microscale surfaces being joined, and to arrest cracks. Such random voids would compromise bond integrity and electrical conductivity of interconnects being bonded. In example systems, a predesigned recess space or predesigned pattern of recesses placed in the bonding interface captures particles and gases, reducing the formation of random voids, thereby improving and protecting the bond as it forms. The recess space or pattern of recesses may be placed where particles collect on the bonding surface, through example methods of determining where mobilized particles move during bond wave propagation. A recess may be repeated in a stepped reticule pattern at the wafer level, for example, or placed by an aligner or alignment process.

摘要: A bonded structure is disclosed. The bonded structure can include a semiconductor element comprising active circuitry. The bonded structure can include a protective element directly bonded to the semiconductor element without an adhesive along a bonding interface. The protective element can include an obstructive material disposed over at least a portion of the active circuitry. The obstructive material can be configured to obstruct external access to the active circuitry. The bonded structure can include a disruption structure configured to disrupt functionality of the at least a portion of the active circuitry upon debonding of the protective element from the semiconductor element.

摘要: A bonded structure can include a first reconstituted element comprising a first element and having a first side comprising a first bonding surface and a second side opposite the first side. The first reconstituted element can comprise a first protective material disposed about a first sidewall surface of the first element. The bonded structure can comprise a second reconstituted element comprising a second element and having a first side comprising a second bonding surface and a second side opposite the first side. The first reconstituted element can comprise a second protective material disposed about a second sidewall surface of the second element. The second bonding surface of the first side of the second reconstituted element can be directly bonded to the first bonding surface of the first side of the first reconstituted element without an intervening adhesive along a bonding interface.

摘要: Representative implementations of techniques and devices provide seals for sealing the joints of bonded microelectronic devices as well as bonded and sealed microelectronic assemblies. Seals are disposed at joined surfaces of stacked dies and wafers to seal the joined surfaces. The seals may be disposed at an exterior periphery of the bonded microelectronic devices or disposed within the periphery using the various techniques.
