A method of fabricating a three-dimensional integrated circuit comprises attaching a wafer to a carrier, mounting a plurality of semiconductor dies on top of the wafer to form a wafer stack. The method further comprises forming a molding compound layer on top of the wafer, attaching the wafer stack to a tape frame and dicing the wafer stack to separate the wafer stack into a plurality of individual packages.
摘要:
A system and method for conductive pillars is provided. An embodiment comprises a conductive pillar having trenches located around its outer edge. The trenches are used to channel conductive material such as solder when a conductive bump is formed onto the conductive pillar. The conductive pillar may then be electrically connected to another contact through the conductive material.

A device includes a bottom chip and an active top die bonded to the bottom chip. A dummy die is attached to the bottom chip. The dummy die is electrically insulated from the bottom chip.
摘要:
A system and method for plating a contact is provided. An embodiment comprises forming protective layers over a contact and a test pad, and then selectively removing the protective layer over the contact without removing the protective layer over the test pad. With the protective layer still on the test pad, a conductive layer may be plated onto the contact without plating it onto the test pad. After the contact has been plated, the protective layer over the contact may be removed.
