According to one embodiment a method is disclosed. The method includes applying a photoresist layer to a first wafer, etching the first wafer, bonding the first wafer to a second wafer and thinning the first wafer; wherein an unsupported bevel portion of the first wafer is removed.
摘要:
Various methods of forming backside connections on a wafer stack are disclosed. To form the backside connections, vias are formed in a first wafer that is to be bonded with a second wafer. The vias used for the backside connections are formed on a side of the first wafer along with an interconnect structure, and the backside connections are formed on an opposing side of the first wafer using these vias.

摘要:
A microelectronic assembly is provided, having thermoelectric elements formed on a die so as to pump heat away from the die when current flows through the thermoelectric elements. In one embodiment, the thermoelectric elements are integrated between conductive interconnection elements on an active side of the die. In another embodiment, the thermoelectric elements are on a backside of the die and electrically connected to a carrier substrate on a front side of the die. In a further embodiment, the thermoelectric elements are formed on a secondary substrate and transferred to the die.

摘要:
A device where the electrodes of an electroosmotic pump are located directly in the flow-producing region of the electroosmotic pump is described as well as methods of forming such a device. Placing the electrodes of an electroosmotic pump directly in the flow-producing region of the electroosmotic pump may increase the flow rate of a cooling fluid that is pumped through the pump. The cooling fluid may then remove a greater amount of heat from the substrate over which it is flowed. The substrate may be the non-device side of a die or a thermal management chip that is placed in direct contact with the non-device side of a die. In these instances the electroosmotic pump may be part of a microelectronic package containing the die or the thermal management chip.
摘要:
A method of making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a conductive layer that contacts a via, such that the conductive layer includes a higher concentration of an electromigration retarding amount of a dopant near the via than away from the via.
摘要:
A method of vertically stacking wafers is provided to form three-dimensional (3D) wafer stack. Such method comprising: selectively depositing a plurality of metallic lines on opposing surfaces of adjacent wafers; bonding the adjacent wafers, via the metallic lines, to establish electrical connections between active devices on vertically stacked wafers; and forming one or more vias to establish electrical connections between the active devices on the vertically stacked wafers and an external interconnect. Metal bonding areas on opposing surfaces of the adjacent wafers can be increased by using one or more dummy vias, tapered vias, or incorporating an existing copper (Cu) dual damascene process.
摘要:
A process flow to make an interconnect structure with one or more thick metal layers under Controlled Collapse Chip Connection (C4) bumps at a die or wafer level. The interconnect structure may be used in a backend interconnect of a microprocessor. The one or more integrated thick metal layers may improve power delivery and reduce mechanical stress to a die at a die/package interface.
