Publication number: 20240153895Abstract: Semiconductor dies of a semiconductor die package are directly bonded, and a top metal region may be formed over the semiconductor dies. A plurality of conductive terminals may be formed over the top metal region. The conductive terminals are formed of copper (Cu) or another material that enables low-temperature deposition process techniques, such as electroplating, to be used to form the conductive terminal. In this way, the conductive terminals of the semiconductor die packages described herein may be formed at a relatively low temperature. This reduces the likelihood of thermal deformation of semiconductor dies in the semiconductor die packages. The reduced thermal deformation reduces the likelihood of warpage, breakage, and/or other types of damage to the semiconductor dies of the semiconductor die packages, which may increase performance and/or increase yield of semiconductor die packages.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Harry-HakLay CHUANG, Wei-Cheng WU, Chung-Jen HUANG, Yung Chun TU, Chien Lin LIU, Shun-Kuan LIN, Ping-tzu CHEN
