  • Patent number: 7588963
    Abstract: A stacked, multi-die semiconductor device and method of forming thereof. A preferred embodiment comprises disposing a stack of semiconductor dies to a substrate. The stacking arrangement is such that a lateral periphery of an upper die is cantilevered over a lower die thereby forming a recess. A supporting adhesive layer containing a filler is disposed upon the substrate about the lateral periphery of the lower die and substantially filling the recess. In one preferred embodiment, the filler comprises microspheres. In another preferred embodiment, the filler comprises a dummy die, an active die, or a passive die.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2009
    Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.
