摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method that includes bonding a first wafer to a second wafer to form a wafer stack and removing a top portion of the second wafer. A first trim blade having a first blade width is aligned over the second wafer. The first trim blade is used to form a trench that separates a central portion of the second wafer from a peripheral portion of the second wafer. The trench is arranged at a first distance from an outer perimeter of the second wafer, and extends from a top surface of the second wafer to a trench depth beneath the top surface of the first wafer. A second trim blade having a second blade width is aligned over the peripheral portion, the second blade width being greater than the first blade width. The peripheral portion is removed using the second trim blade.

摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to method for trimming and cleaning an edge of a wafer. The method includes trimming an outer edge portion of the wafer with a blade along a continuously connected trim path to define a new sidewall of the wafer. The trimming produces contaminant particles on the wafer. Further, the method includes applying deionized water to the new sidewall of the wafer with water nozzles to remove the contaminant particles. The method also includes applying pressurized gas to the wafer at a first top surface area of the wafer with an air jet nozzle. The pressurized gas is directed outward from a center of the wafer to remove remaining contaminant particles. The applying of deionized water and the applying of pressurized gas are performed in a same chamber as the trimming.

摘要: The problem of forming top electrode vias that provide consistent results in devices that include resistance switching RAM cells of varying heights is solved using a dielectric composite that fills areas between resistance switching RAM cells and varies in height to align with the tops of both the taller and the shorter resistance switching RAM cells. An etch stop layer may be formed over the dielectric composite providing an equal thickness of etch-resistant dielectric over both taller and shorter resistance switching RAM cells. The dielectric composite causes the etch stop layer to extend laterally away from the resistance switching RAM cells to maintain separation between the via openings and the resistance switching RAM cell sides even when the openings are misaligned.

摘要: A structure and a method of forming are provided. The structure includes a first dielectric layer overlying a first substrate. A first connection pad is disposed in a top surface of the first dielectric layer and contacts a first redistribution line. A first dummy pad is disposed in the top surface of the first dielectric layer, the first dummy pad contacting the first redistribution line. A second dielectric layer overlies a second substrate. A second connection pad and a second dummy pad are disposed in the top surface of the second dielectric layer, the second connection pad bonded to the first connection pad, and the first dummy pad positioned in a manner that is offset from the second dummy pad so that the first dummy pad and the second dummy pad do not contact each other.
