    Abstract: In a die-substrate assembly, a copper inter-component joint is formed by bonding corresponding copper interconnect structures together directly, without using solder. The copper interconnect structures have distal layers of (111) crystalline copper that enable them to bond together at a relatively low temperature (e.g., below 300° C.) compared to the relatively high melting point (about 1085° C.) for the bulk copper of the rest of the interconnect structures. By avoiding the use of solder, the resulting inter-component joint will not suffer from the adverse IMC/EM effects of conventional, solder-based joints. The distal surfaces of the interconnect structures may be curved (e.g., one concave and the other convex) to facilitate mating the two structures and improve the reliability of the physical contact between the two interconnect structures. The bonding may be achieved using directed microwave radiation and microwave-sensitive flux, instead of uniform heating.

    Abstract: Consistent with an example embodiment, there is a method for sawing a wafer substrate, the wafer substrate having a front-side surface containing active devices separated by saw lanes and a back-side surface having undergone back grinding, the saw lanes having process control monitor (PCM) devices present therein. The method comprises: with a blade of a first kerf, sawing the back-side surface in tracks corresponding to the saw lanes, to a first depth; laser grooving (LG) the saw lanes, to an LG depth, on the front-side surface of the wafer substrate until PCM devices are substantially removed, the LG having a preset beam diameter; and with a blade of a second kerf, the second kerf less than the first kerf, sawing the front-side surface of the wafer substrate about the center of the saw lanes until the active devices are separated from one another.

    Abstract: A wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP) includes an integrated circuit (IC) chip, and die bonding pads with a redistribution layer (RDL) having multiple via structures located directly below the footprint of a solder ball placed on the bonding pad. The via structures electrically connect the solder ball to a top metal layer of the IC chip. The RDL may extend beyond the solder ball's footprint and have additional vias that connect to the top metal layer, including vias located under and connected to other solder balls. The bonding pads have a low R-on resistance and are not susceptible to thermal-induced cracking.
