摘要:
A semiconductor structure includes a first die comprising a first substrate and a first bonding pad over the first substrate, a second die having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the second die is stacked on the first die and a protection layer having a vertical portion on a sidewall of the second die, and a horizontal portion extending over the first die.

A method and apparatus for removing a metal or conductive film from over a surface of a semiconductor wafer provides a two step process carried out within a single wafer processing apparatus. A first step is a wet chemical or mechanical removal process that removes an upper portion of the film at a high removal rate and is followed by a second step of a lower removal rate, the second step being CMP, chemical mechanical polishing.

A method for providing a stacked wafer configuration is provided. The method includes bonding a first wafer to a second wafer. A filler material is applied in a gap formed along edges of the first wafer and the second wafer. The filler material provides support along the edges during a thinning and transportation process to help reduce cracking or chipping. The filler material may be cured to reduce any bubbling that may have occurred while applying the filler material. Thereafter, the second wafer may be thinned by grinding, plasma etching, wet etching, or the like. In some embodiments of the present invention, this process may be repeated multiple times to create a stacked wafer configuration having three or more stacked wafers.

An apparatus for supporting a wafer includes a base, and a gas-penetration layer. The gas-penetration layer and a portion of the base directly underlying the gas-penetration layer form a gas passage therebetween. The gas passage is configured to be sealed by the wafer placed directly over the gas-penetration layer. The apparatus further includes a valve connected to the gas passage.
摘要:
A system and method for stacking semiconductor dies is disclosed. A preferred embodiment comprises forming through-silicon vias through the wafer, protecting a rim edge of the wafer, and then removing the unprotected portions so that the rim edge has a greater thickness than the thinned wafer. This thickness helps the fragile wafer survive further transport and process steps. The rim edge is then preferably removed during singulation of the individual dies from the wafer.
