  • Patent number: 9006882
    Abstract: A semiconductor die has an insulating material disposed in a peripheral region around the die. A blind via is formed through the gap. A conductive material is deposited in the blind via to form a conductive via. A conductive layer is formed between the conductive via and contact pad on the semiconductor die. A protective layer is formed over the front side of the semiconductor die. A portion of the insulating material and conductive via is removed from a backside of the semiconductor die opposite the front side of the semiconductor die so that a thickness of the conductive via is less than a thickness of the semiconductor wafer. The insulating material and conductive via are tapered. The wafer is singulated through the gap to separate the semiconductor die. A plurality of semiconductor die can be stacked and electrically interconnected through the conductive vias.

  • Patent number: 8815643
    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer contains a plurality of die with contact pads disposed on a first surface of each die. Metal vias are formed in trenches in the saw street guides and are surrounded by organic material. Traces connect the contact pads and metal vias. The metal vias can be half-circle vias or full-circle vias. Metal vias are also formed through the contact pads on the active area of the die. Redistribution layers (RDL) are formed on a second surface of the die opposite the first surface. Repassivation layers are formed between the RDL for electrical isolation. The die are stackable and can be placed in a semiconductor package with other die. The vias through the saw streets and vias through the active area of the die, as well as the RDL, provide electrical interconnect to the adjacent die.
