Abstract:
A methodology for a thin, flexible substrate having integrated passive circuit elements, and the resulting device are disclosed. Embodiments may include integrating one or more passive circuit components on a first or second surface of a substrate, and interconnecting one or more integrated circuit (IC) dies on a second surface of the interposer to the one or more passive circuit components with one or more metal-filled vias between the first and second surfaces, the first and second surfaces being opposite surfaces of the substrate.
Abstract:
Methods for removing low-k dielectric material from dicing lanes in a bonded pair of IC wafers and the resulting device are disclosed. Embodiments include providing low-k dielectric and standard dielectric layers on upper surfaces of top and bottom IC substrates, each including an array of adjacent IC die areas separated by dicing lanes; removing from the dicing lanes the standard and low-k dielectric layers to form cavities exposing sections of the upper surfaces of IC substrates; depositing a standard dielectric material in the cavities and on upper surfaces of the standard dielectric layer of the top and bottom IC substrates; planarizing upper surfaces of the standard dielectric material of the IC substrates; forming a face-to-face bonding of the IC substrates, wherein the dicing lanes in the IC substrates are vertically aligned; and dicing adjacent bonded IC die areas through vertically aligned dicing lanes in the IC substrates.
