    摘要: Semiconductor devices having metallization structures including crack-inhibiting structures, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a metallization structure formed over a semiconductor substrate. The metallization structure can include a bond pad electrically coupled to the semiconductor substrate via one or more layers of conductive material, and an insulating material—such as a low-κ dielectric material—at least partially around the conductive material. The metallization structure can further include a crack-inhibiting structure positioned beneath the bond pad between the bond pad and the semiconductor substrate. The crack-inhibiting structure can include (a) a metal lattice extending laterally between the bond pad and the semiconductor substrate and (b) barrier members extending vertically between the metal lattice and the bond pad.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices may include a die including a semiconductor material. The die may include a first active surface including first integrated circuitry on a first side of the die and a second active surface including second integrated circuitry on a second, opposite side of the die. In some embodiments, the die may include two die portions: a first die portion including the first active surface and a second die portion including the second active surface. The first die portion and the second die portion may be joined together with the first active surface facing away from the second active surface.

    摘要: A semiconductor component system includes a motherboard and a cooling system mounted to the motherboard. The cooling system includes sidewalls projecting from the motherboard. A sub-motherboard extends between the sidewalls and is spaced apart from the motherboard. The sidewalls and the sub-motherboard define a cooling channel over the motherboard. A connector is attached to the sub-motherboard and is configured to receive a semiconductor device daughterboard. The connector has contacts to electrically couple the semiconductor device daughterboard to the sub-motherboard.

    摘要: Semiconductor device assemblies are provided with a package substrate including one or more layers of thermally conductive material configured to conduct heat generated by one or more of semiconductor dies of the assemblies laterally outward towards an outer edge of the assembly. The layer of thermally conductive material can comprise one or more allotropes of carbon, such as diamond, graphene, graphite, carbon nanotubes, or a combination thereof. The layer of thermally conductive material can be provided via deposition (e.g., sputtering, PVD, CVD, or ALD), via adhering a film comprising the layer of thermally conductive material to an outer surface of the package substrate, or via embedding a film comprising the layer of thermally conductive material to within the package substrate.
