摘要:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor wafer comprises a plurality of solder bumps for providing device contacts formed over a functional region of the semiconductor wafer, and one or more support rings surrounding the functional region. The one or more support rings and the plurality of solder bumps are formed so as to have substantially matching heights. The presence of the one or more support rings causes the semiconductor wafer to have a substantially uniform thickness in the functional region after a thinning process is performed on the semiconductor wafer. A method for fabricating the semiconductor wafer comprises forming the plurality of solder bumps over the functional region, and forming the one or more support rings surrounding the functional region before performing the thinning process on the semiconductor wafer.

摘要:
Some exemplary embodiments of a semiconductor package including a semiconductor device having electrodes on opposite major surfaces connectable to a planar support surface without a bondwire and a control electrode disposed in a corner position for reducing top-metal spreading resistance and device on-resistance have been disclosed. One exemplary structure comprises a semiconductor device having a first major surface including a first electrode and a second major surface including a second electrode and a control electrode, wherein the control electrode is disposed in a corner of the second major surface, and wherein the first electrode, the second electrode, and the control electrode are electrically connectable to a planar support surface without a bondwire. The pads of the device may be arranged in a balanced grid to maintain device stability during integration. A minimum gap distance between die pads allows the placement of vias in the planar support surface.
