    Abstract: An apparatus relates generally to a three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit. In such an apparatus, the three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit has at least a first die and a second die interconnected to one another using die-to-die interconnects. A substrate of the first die has at least one thermal via structure extending from a lower surface of the substrate toward a well of the substrate without extending to the well and without extending through the substrate. A first end of the at least one thermal via structure is at least sufficiently proximate to the well of the substrate for conduction of heat away therefrom. The substrate has at least one through substrate via structure extending from the lower surface of the substrate to an upper surface of the substrate. A second end of the at least one thermal via structure is coupled to at least one through die via structure of the second die for thermal conductivity.

    Abstract: Capacitive coupling of integrated circuit die components and other conductive areas is provided. Each component to be coupled has a surface that includes at least one conductive area, such as a metal pad or plate. An ultrathin layer of dielectric is formed on at least one surface to be coupled. When the two components, e.g., one from each die, are permanently contacted together, the ultrathin layer of dielectric remains between the two surfaces, forming a capacitor or capacitive interface between the conductive areas of each respective component. The ultrathin layer of dielectric may be composed of multiple layers of various dielectrics, but in one implementation, the overall thickness is less than approximately 50 nanometers. The capacitance per unit area of the capacitive interface formed depends on the particular dielectric constants κ of the dielectric materials employed in the ultrathin layer and their respective thicknesses. Electrical and grounding connections can be made at the edge of the coupled stack.

    Abstract: To reduce warpage in at least one area of a wafer, a stress/warpage management layer (810) is formed to over-balance and change the direction of the existing warpage. For example, if the middle of the area was bulging up relative to the area's boundary, the middle of the area may become bulging downward, or vice versa. Then the stress/warpage management layer is processed to reduce the over-balancing. For example, the stress/management layer can be debonded from the wafer at selected locations, or recesses can be formed in the layer, or phase changes can be induced in the layer. In other embodiments, this layer is tantalum-aluminum that may or may not over-balance the warpage; this layer is believed to reduce warpage due to crystal-phase-dependent stresses which dynamically adjust to temperature changes so as to reduce the warpage (possibly keeping the wafer flat through thermal cycling). Other features are also provided.
