    摘要: The present disclosure provides devices and methods in which a semiconductor chip has a reduced size and thickness. The device is manufactured by utilizing a sacrificial or dummy silicon wafer. A recess is formed in the dummy silicon wafer where the semiconductor chip is mounted in the recess. The space between the dummy silicon wafer and the chip is filled with underfill material. The dummy silicon wafer and the backside of the chip are etched using any suitable etching process until the dummy silicon wafer is removed, and the thickness of the chip is reduced. With this process, the overall thickness of the semiconductor chip can be thinned down to less than 50 μm in some embodiments. The ultra-thin semiconductor chip can be incorporated in manufacturing flexible/rollable display panels, foldable mobile devices, wearable displays, or any other electrical or electronic devices.

    摘要: A package packaged with a cap. The package features trenches, through holes, and a non-conductive coupling element forming a locking mechanism integrated embedded or integrated within a substrate. The package has a cap coupled to the non-conductive coupling element through ultrasonic plastic welding. The package protects the dice from an outside environment or external stresses or both. A method is desired to form package to reduce glue overflow defects in the package. Fabrication of the package comprises drilling holes in a substrate; forming trenches in the substrate; forming a non-conductive coupling element in the through holes and the trenches to form a locking mechanism; allowing the non-conductive coupling element to harden and cure; coupling a die or dice to the substrate; and coupling a cap to the non-conductive coupling element to protect the die or dice from an outside environment or external stresses or both.

    摘要: A method of testing integrated circuit die for presence of a crack includes performing back end integrated circuit fabrication processes on a wafer having a plurality of integrated circuit die, the back end fabrication including an assembly process. The assembly process includes a) lowering a tip of a first manipulator arm to contact a given die such that pogo pins extending from the tip make electrical contact with conductive areas on the given die so that the pogo pins are electrically connected to a crack detector on the given die, b) picking up the given die using the first manipulator arm, and c) performing a conductivity test on the crack detector using the pogo pins to determine presence of a crack in the given die that extends from a periphery of the die, through a die seal ring of the die, and into an integrated circuit region of the die.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to semiconductor packages that include a molding compound having at least one raised portion that extends outward from the package. In some embodiments, the semiconductor packages have a plurality of raised portions, and a plurality of conductive layers are on the plurality of raised portions. The plurality of raised portions and the plurality of conductive layers are utilized to mount the semiconductor packages to an external electronic device (e.g., a printed circuit board (PCB), another semiconductor package, an external electrical connection, etc.). In some embodiments, the semiconductor packages have a single raised portion with a plurality of conductive layers that are on the single raised portion. The single raised portion and the plurality of conductive layers are utilized to mount the semiconductor packages to the external electronic device. The plurality of conductive layers on the plurality of raised portions or the single raised portion may be formed by a laser direct structuring (LDS) process.

    摘要: Trenches are opened from a top surface of a production wafer that extend down through scribe areas to a depth that is only partially through a semiconductor substrate. Prior to performing a bumping process, a first handle is attached to the top surface of the production wafer. A back surface of the semiconductor substrate is then thinned to reach the trenches and form a wafer level chip scale package at each integrated circuit location delimited by the trenches. A second handle is then attached to a bottom surface of the thinned semiconductor substrate, and the first handle is removed to expose underbump metallization pads at the top surface. The bumping process is then performed to form a solder ball at each of the exposed underbump metallization pads.
