摘要： Disclosed is a reinforced bond pad structure having nonplanar dielectric structures and a metallic bond layer conformally formed over the nonplanar dielectric structures. The nonplanar dielectric structures are substantially reproduced in the metallic bond layer so as to form nonplanar metallic structures. Surrounding each of the nonplanar metallic structures is a ring of dielectric material which provides a hard stop during probing of the bond pad so as to limit the amount of bond pad that can be removed during probing.

摘要： Methods of forming a conductive structure on a substrate prior to packaging, and a test probe structure generated according to the method, are disclosed. The conductive structure includes a high aspect ratio structure formed by injected molded solder. The invention can be applied to form passive elements and interconnects on a conventional semiconductor substrate after the typical BEOL, and prior to packaging. The method may provide better electromigration characteristics, lower resistivity, and higher Q factors for conductive structures. In addition, the method is backwardly compatible and customizable.

摘要： A three-dimensional package consisting of a plurality of folded integrated circuit chips (100, 110, 120) is described wherein at least one chip provides interconnect pathways for electrical connection to additional chips of the stack, and at least one chip (130) is provided with additional interconnect wiring to a substrate (500), package or printed circuit board. Further described, is a method of providing a flexible arrangement of interconnected chips that are folded over into a three-dimensional arrangements to consume less aerial space when mounted on a substrate, second-level package or printed circuit board.
