Microelectronic packages having layered interconnect structures are provided, as are methods for the fabrication thereof. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a first plurality of interconnect lines in ohmic contact with a first bond pad row provided on a semiconductor. A dielectric layer is deposited over the first plurality of interconnect lines, the first bond pad row, and a second bond pad row adjacent the first bond pad row. A trench via is then formed in the dielectric layer to expose at least the second bond pad row therethrough. A second plurality of interconnect lines is formed in ohmic contact with the second bond pad row within the trench via. The second plurality of interconnect lines extends over the first bond pad row and is electrically isolated therefrom by the dielectric layer to produce at least a portion of the layered interconnect structure.

A method and apparatus for forming a backside contact, electrical and/or thermal, for die encapsulated in a semiconductor device package are provided. Die of varying thicknesses can be accommodated within the semiconductor device package. Embodiments of the present invention provide a conductive pedestal coupled to a backside contact of a die, where the coupling is performed prior to encapsulating the die within the package. In addition, conductive pedestals coupled to varying die within a semiconductor device package are of such a thickness that each conductive pedestal can be exposed on the back side of the package without exposing or damaging the backside of any encapsulated die. Embodiments of the present invention provide for the conductive pedestals being made of electrically or thermally conductive material and coupled to the device die contact using an electrically and/or thermally conductive adhesive.

A semiconductor device package having pre-formed and placed through vias and a process for making such a package is provided. One or more signal conduits are placed in a holder that is subsequently embedded in an encapsulated semiconductor device package. The ends of the signal conduits are exposed and the signal conduits are then used as through package vias, providing signal-bearing pathways between interconnects or contacts on the bottom and top of the package. Holders can be provided in a variety of geometries and materials, depending upon the nature of the application. Further, multiple holders with signal conduits can be provided in a single package to provide for more complex interconnect configuration demands in, for example, system-in-a-package applications.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor component includes depositing a first electrically conductive layer (675) over a substrate (270), forming a patterned plating mask (673) over the first electrically conductive layer, coupling a first plating electrode (250) to the first electrically conductive layer without puncturing the plating mask, and plating a second electrically conductive layer onto portions of the first electrically conductive layer. A plating tool for the manufacturing method includes an inner weir (220) located within an outer weir (210), an elastic member (230) over a rim (211) of the outer weir, a pressure ring (240) located over the rim of the outer weir and the elastic member, and a plurality of cathode contacts (250, 251, 252, 253) located between the pressure ring and the outer weir. The substrate is positioned between the elastic member and the pressure ring.

A titanium-tungsten-nitride/titanium-tungsten/gold (TiWN/TiW/Au) packaging interconnect metallization scheme is used to provide electrical contact to chip level interconnect metallization on a semiconductor substrate. The TiWN/TiW/Au packaging interconnect metallization scheme provides for good adhesion and barrier properties that withstand high temperatures and improve the reliability of the semiconductor chip. The TiWN layer provides good adhesion to the chip level interconnect metallization and the passivation layer. It also provides improved barrier properties to prevent the diffusion of other metal atoms through it. The TiW layer provides good adhesion to the gold metal layer. A gold bump may be electroplated to the gold layer and automatically bonded to a conductive lead of a tape in TAB packaging; or a wire bonded to the gold layer in conventional packaging.

Microelectronic packages and methods for fabricating microelectronic packages are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes forming one or more redistribution layers over an encapsulated die having a frontside bond pad area and a frontside passivated non-bond pad area. The redistribution layers are formed to have a frontside opening over the non-bond pad area of the encapsulated die. A primary heat sink body is provided in the frontside opening and thermally coupled to the encapsulated die. A contact array is formed over the redistribution layers and is electrically coupled to a plurality bond pads located on the frontside bond pad area of the encapsulated die.

Through substrate vias for back-side electrical and thermal interconnections on very thin semiconductor wafers without loss of wafer mechanical strength during manufacturing are provided by: forming desired device regions with contacts on the front surface of an initially relatively thick wafer; etching via cavities partly through the wafer in the desired locations; filling the via cavities with a conductive material coupled to some device region contacts; mounting the wafer with its front side facing a support structure; thinning the wafer from the back side to expose internal ends of the conductive material filled vias; applying any desired back-side interconnect region coupled to the exposed ends of the filled vias; removing the support structure and separating the individual device or IC assemblies so as to be available for mounting on a further circuit board, tape or larger circuit.
