摘要:
A microjoint interconnect structure comprising a dense array of metallic studs of precisely controllable height tipped with a joining metallurgy. The array is produced on a device chip that is to be attached to a carrier, or to a carrier along with other devices, some of which may be selected to have similar interconnect structures so as to form all together an assembled carrier that functions as a complete computing, communications or networking system.

A system for interconnecting a set of device chips by means of an array of microjoints disposed on an interconnect carrier is taught. The carrier is provided with a dense array of microjoint receptacles with an adhesion layer, barrier layer and a noble metal layer; the device wafers are fabricated with an array of microjoining pads comprising an adhesion layer, barrier layer and a fusible solder layer with pads being located at matching locations in reference to the barrier receptacles; said device chips are joined to said carrier through the microjoint arrays resulting in interconnections capable of very high input/output density and inter-chip wiring density.

摘要:
A system for testing a collection of device chips by temporarily attaching them to a carrier having a plurality of receptacles with microdendritic features; the receptacles matching with and pushed in contact with a matching set of contact pads on the device chips; said carrier additionally having test pads connected to the receptacles through interconnect wiring. The system allows connecting the chips together and testing the collection as a whole by probing the test pads on the carrier. Burn-in of the collection of chips can also be performed on the temporary carrier, which is reusable.

The invention is the technology of providing a packaging intermediate product that can serve as an interface substrate that is to be positioned between different circuitry types where the dimensions are approaching the sub 100 micrometer range. The invention involves a dielectric wafer structure where the first and second area surfaces of the wafer are separated by a distance that is of the order of the electrical via design length, and an array of spaced vias through the wafer arranged with each via filled with metal surrounded by a chemical metal deposition promoting layer with each via terminating flush with a wafer surface. The wafer structure is achieved by forming an array of blind via openings through the first surface of the dielectric wafer to a depth approaching the via design length, lining the walls for adhesion enhancement, filling the blind via openings completely with a chemically deposited metal, removing material at the first wafer surface thereby planarizing the filled vias, and removing material at the second wafer surface thereby exposing the vias at the design length.

A method to form a closed air gap interconnect structure is described. A starting structure made of regions of a permanent support dielectric under the interconnect lines and surrounding interconnect vias with one or more sacrificial dielectrics present in the remaining portions of the interconnect structure, is capped with a dielectric barrier which is perforated using a stencil with a regular array of holes. The sacrificial dielectrics are then extracted through the holes in the dielectric barrier layer such that the interconnect lines are substantially surrounded by air except for the regions of the support dielectric under the lines. The holes in the cap layer are closed off by depositing a second barrier dielectric so that a closed air gap is formed. Several embodiments of this method and the resulting structures are described.
