Abstract: A method for packaging a semiconductor device includes the steps of: disposing a wafer on a first carrier plate; attaching a second carrier plate to a side of the first carrier plate opposite to the wafer; disposing a chip unit on a side of the wafer opposite to the first carrier plate; and covering the wafer and the chip unit with an encapsulation layer. A semiconductor packaging structure is also disclosed.
Abstract: Direct bonded stack structures for increased reliability and improved yields in microelectronics are provided. Structural features and stack configurations are provided for memory modules and 3DICs to reduce defects in vertically stacked dies. Example processes alleviate warpage stresses between a thicker top die and direct bonded dies beneath it, for example. An etched surface on the top die may relieve warpage stresses. An example stack may include a compliant layer between dies. Another stack configuration replaces the top die with a layer of molding material to circumvent warpage stresses. An array of cavities on a bonding surface can alleviate stress forces. One or more stress balancing layers may also be created on a side of the top die or between other dies to alleviate or counter warpage. Rounding of edges can prevent stresses and pressure forces from being destructively transmitted through die and substrate layers. These measures may be applied together or in combinations in a single package.
