Abstract: A system and method for a semiconductor wafer carrier is disclosed. An embodiment comprises a semiconductor wafer carrier wherein conductive dopants are implanted into the carrier in order to amplify the coulombic forces between an electrostatic chuck and the carrier to compensate for reduced forces that result from thinner semiconductor wafers. Another embodiment forms conductive layers and vias within the carrier instead of implanting conductive dopants.

Abstract: A three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) which incorporates a glass interposer and a method for fabricating the three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) with the glass interposer are described herein. In one embodiment, the 3D-IC incorporates a glass interposer which has vias formed therein which are not filled with a conductor that allow for precision metal-to-metal interconnects (for example) between redistribution layers. In another embodiment, the 3D-IC incorporates a glass interposer which has vias and has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is different than the CTE of silicon which is 3.2 ppm/° C.
