Abstract:
A method of fabricating a 3D chip stack uses an interposer and an electronic circuit substrate comprising a plurality of electronic circuits. The electrical contacts of the electronic circuit substrate are bonded and electrically coupled to bumps of the interposer. A molding compound is applied over the electronic circuits to form a molded structure. The molded structure is thinned to have a second molded thickness that is less than the first molded thickness, and the interposer is thinned to a second interposer thickness that is less than a first interposer thickness.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention generally relate to molded wafers having reduced warpage, bowing, and outgassing, and methods for forming the same. The molded wafers include a support layer of silicon nitride disposed on a surface thereof to facilitate rigidity and reduced outgassing. The silicon nitride layer may be formed on the molded wafer, for example, by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition or hot-wire chemical vapor deposition.
