摘要:
An interconnect for electrically coupling pads formed on adjacent chips or on packaging material adjacent the chips, with an electrically conductive heat sink being disposed between the pads, the interconnect comprising a metallic membrane layer disposed between two adjacent pads and disposed or bridging over the electrically conductive heat sink so as to avoid making electrical contact with the electrically conductive heat sink. An electroplated metallic layer is disposed on the metallic membrane layer. Fabrication of interconnect permits multiple interconnects to be formed in parallel using fabrication techniques compatible with wafer level fabrication of the interconnects. The interconnects preferably follow a smooth curve to electrically connect adjacent pads and following that smooth curve they bridge over the intervening electrically conductive heat sink material in a predictable fashion.

A semiconductor device comprises one or more transistors and two or more layers of dielectric material encapsulating a front side of said one or more transistors. The gate of each of said one or more transistors is located within a cavity, or air-box, in at least one of the dielectric layers, so that the gate terminal is physically separated from said dielectric material. Such an arrangement may reduce parasitic capacitance. In another arrangement, a semiconductor device comprises one or more gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors and one or more dielectric layers encapsulating a front side of said one or more transistors, wherein the gate terminal of each of said one or more transistors is located within a cavity in at least one of the one or more dielectric layers, separated from said dielectric material.

Methods using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond deposited on a sacrificial material provide CVD diamond microchannel structures and 3-D interconnection structures of CVD diamond microfluidic channels. The sacrificial material is patterned to define locations and dimensions of the microchannels. The patterned sacrificial material is selectively removed from underneath the chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond to form the CVD diamond microchannels. The CVD diamond microchannels are integrated with electronic structures to provide an integral microfluidic cooling system to electronic devices.

A method for wafer level packaging includes forming one or more die, forming a plated metal ring (PMR) on each die, forming a cover wafer (CW), the CW having one or more plated seal rings, forming a body wafer (BW), the BW having cavities and a metal layer on a first side of the BW, aligning a respective die to the CW so that a PMR on the respective die is aligned to a respective plated seal ring (PSR) on the CW, bonding the PMR on the respective die to the respective PSR, aligning the BW to the CW so that a respective cavity of the BW surrounds each respective die bonded to the CW and so that the metal layer on the BW is aligned with at least one PSR on the CW, and bonding the metal layer on the first side of the BW to the PSR on the CW. Each PMR has a first height and each PSR has a second height.
