  • Publication number: 20260190984
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor dies with a thermally conductive bond interface to enhance the thermal dissipation from the semiconductor devices. A frontside interconnect region is provided above a semiconductor device layer to, for example, route signals between various semiconductor devices in the device layer. A thermally conductive bond layer may be provided above the frontside interconnect region, such as on a top-most layer of the frontside interconnect region. The thermally conductive bond layer includes a metal such as titanium, ruthenium, copper, or generally any material having a thermal conductivity of at least 1.5 W/m·K. The bond layer may be formed on a material layer that is deposited first on the frontside interconnect region. The material layer may be any of diamond, silicon carbide, copper, or aluminum nitride, to name a few examples.

  • Publication number: 20260182369
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices with thermal management structures designed to provide additional heat dissipation paths. A semiconductor device includes a gate structure around or otherwise on a semiconductor region that extends from a source region to a drain region. In one example, a subfin region beneath the semiconductor region is removed and replaced with a material having a thermal conductivity of at least 1.5 W/m·K. In another example, a material layer is formed between conductive contacts on the top surfaces of the source and drain regions that has a thermal conductivity of at least 1.5 W/m·K. In another example, the conductive contacts extend through at least 50% of an entire height of the source and drain regions to provide an enhanced thermal path. Any of the above-mentioned structures may also be combined in one or more devices to provide multiple different thermal management structures.
