摘要:
System and method for reducing substrate warpage in a thermal process. An embodiment comprises pre-heating a substrate in a loadlock chamber before performing the thermal process of the substrate. After the thermal process, the substrate is cooled down in a loadlock chamber. The pre-heat and cool-down process reduces the warpage of the substrate caused by the differences in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the materials that make up the substrate.

A system and method for manufacturing a through silicon via is disclosed. An embodiment comprises forming a through silicon via with a liner protruding from a substrate. A passivation layer is formed over the substrate and the through silicon via, and the passivation layer and liner are recessed from the sidewalls of the through silicon via. Conductive material may then be formed in contact with both the sidewalls and a top surface of the through silicon via.

A semiconductor device includes a bump structure formed on a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) line and surrounded by a protection structure. The protection structure includes a polymer layer and at least one dielectric layer. The dielectric layer may be formed on the top surface of the polymer layer, underlying the polymer layer, inserted between the bump structure and the polymer layer, inserted between the PPI line and the polymer layer, covering the exterior sidewalls of the polymer layer, or combinations thereof.

A composite carrier structure for manufacturing semiconductor devices is provided. The composite carrier structure utilizes multiple carrier substrates, e.g., glass or silicon substrates, coupled together by interposed adhesive layers. The composite carrier structure may be attached to a wafer or a die for, e.g., backside processing, such as thinning processes. In an embodiment, the composite carrier structure comprises a first carrier substrate having through-substrate vias formed therethrough. The first substrate is attached to a second substrate using an adhesive such that the adhesive may extend into the through-substrate vias.
