Abstract:
Interconnect structures for stacked dies, including penetrating structures for through-silicon vias, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A system in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a first semiconductor substrate having a first substrate material, and a penetrating structure carried by the first semiconductor substrate. The system further includes a second semiconductor substrate having a second substrate material with a preformed recess. The penetrating structure of the first semiconductor substrate is received in the recess of the second semiconductor substrate and is mechanically engaged with the recess and secured to the second semiconductor substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to self-aligned, flexible high density and impedance adjusted electrical connectors used in microelectronic systems. This invention solves the problem of having electrical connection and alignment at the same time. One connector (200) having a first part (204) consists of two metal layer structures, a first signal path (212) and a first ground path (210), covering the V-groove (202). The connector also has a second part (208) consisting of corresponding metal layers, a second signal path (224) covering the elastic bump (206) and a second signal ground plane (226), which fits into the V-groove (202). The first and the second signal path (212, 224) are in contact with each other when the first and the second part (204, 208) are brought together. The contact is self-aligned when put together. The electrical contact will remain even if displaced due to the thermal expansion.

Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé d'assemblage de type Flip-Chip, entre un premier (1) et un deuxième (2) composants comportant chacun des plots de connexion (11, 21) sur une de leurs faces, dites faces d'assemblage, selon lequel on reporte les composants l'un sur l'autre par leurs faces d'assemblage de sorte à réaliser des interconnexions électriques entre les plots du premier et ceux du deuxième composant. Selon l'invention, on réalise une transformation de l'oxyde de cuivre en cuivre par recuit UV, très localement dans l'espacement entre composants au moins autour des zones au droit des plots de connexion. Le procédé selon l'invention peut être utilisé pour n'importe quel composant transparent aux UV, y compris pour des substrats en matière plastique tels que des substrats en PEN ou en PET. L'invention concerne également l'assemblage entre deux composants obtenu par le procédé.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for low-force, low-temperature thermocompression bonding. The present application teaches new methods and structures for three-dimensional integrated circuits, in which cold thermocompression bonding is used to provide reliable bonding. To achieve this, reduction and passivation steps are preferably both used to reduce native oxide on the contact metals and to prevent reformation of native oxide, preferably using atmospheric plasma treatments. Preferably the physical compression height of the elements is set to be only enough to reliably achieve at least some compression of each bonding element pair, compensating for any lack of flatness. Preferably the thermocompression bonding is performed well below the melting point. This not only avoids the deformation of lower levels which is induced by reflow techniques, but also provides a steep relation of force versus z-axis travel, so that a drastically- increasing resistance to compression helps to regulate the degree of thermocompression.

用于低力低温热压接合的方法和系统。 本申请教导了用于三维集成电路的新方法和结构,其中使用冷热压结合来提供可靠的结合。 为了实现这一点,优选使用还原和钝化步骤来减少接触金属上的自然氧化物,并优选使用大气等离子体处理来防止天然氧化物的重新形成。 优选地,元件的物理压缩高度被设定为仅足够可靠地实现每个接合元件对的至少一些压缩,从而补偿任何不平整度。 优选地,热压结合远低于熔点进行。 这不仅避免了由回流技术引起的较低水平面的变形,而且还提供了力与z轴行程之间的陡峭关系,因此对压缩的急剧增加的阻力有助于调节热压缩的程度。 p >
Abstract:
A method of making high-density electrical interconnects between micro-electronic components using rivet bonds, by positioning a first substrate over a second substrate to align a through-hole and adjacent first metal bond pad of the first substrate with a second metal bond pad of the second substrate, and forming a metal bump through the through-hole so that the metal bump bonds to and electrically connects the first and second metal bond pads via the through-hole.
