Abstract: Systems and methods for providing 3D wafer assembly with known-good-dies are provided. An example method compiles an index of dies on a semiconductor wafer and removes the defective dies to provide a wafer with dies that are all operational. Defective dies on multiple wafers may be removed in parallel, and resulting wafers with all good dies stacked in 3D wafer assembly. In an implementation, the spaces left by removed defective dies may be filled at least in part with operational dies or with a fill material. Defective dies may be replaced either before or after wafer-to-wafer assembly to eliminate production of defective stacked devices, or the spaces may be left empty. A bottom device wafer may also have its defective dies removed or replaced, resulting in wafer-to-wafer assembly that provides 3D stacks with no defective dies.

Other features and embodiments are also provided.

Abstract: Stacked dies (110) are encapsulated in an interposer's cavity (304) by multiple encapsulant layers (524) formed of moldable material. Conductive paths (520, 620.3) connect the dies to the cavity's bottom wall (304B) and, through TSVs passing through the bottom wall, to a conductor below the interposer. The conductive paths can be formed in segments each of which is formed in a through-hole (514) in a respective encapsulant layer. Each segment can be formed by electroplating onto a lower segment; the electroplating current can be provided from below the interposer through the TSVs and earlier formed segments. Other features are also provided.

Copper can be used as the contact material for a GaAs integrated circuit. Metallization of the wafer and through-wafer vias can be achieved through copper plating processes disclosed herein. Direct die solder (DDS) attach can be achieved by use of electroless nickel plating of the copper contact layer followed by a palladium flash. GaAs integrated circuits can be singulated, packaged, and incorporated into various electronic devices.

Abstract: A microelectronic assembly includes a dielectric element having bumps projecting from a first surface thereof, the bumps having end surfaces flush with a planarized encapsulation. A circuit structure having a thickness less than or equal to 10 microns, formed by depositing two or more dielectric layers and conductive layers on the respective dielectric layers, has electrically conductive features thereon which electrically contact the bumps. The circuit structure can be formed separately on a carrier and then joined with the bumps on the dielectric element, or the circuit structure can be formed by a build up process on the planarized surface of the encapsulation and the planarized surfaces of the bumps.

Abstract: In a multi-chip module (MCM), a “super” chip (110N) is attached to multiple “plain” chips (110F; “super” and “plain” chips can be any chips). The super chip is positioned above the wiring board (WB) but below at least some of plain chips (110F). The plain chips overlap the super chip. Further, the plain chips' low speed IOs can be connected to the WB by long direct connections such as bond wires (e.g. BVAs) or solder stacks; such connections can be placed side by side with the super chip. Such connections can be long, so the super chip is not required to be thin. Also, if through-substrate vias (TSVs) are omitted, the manufacturing yield is high and the manufacturing cost is low. Other structures are provided that combine the short and long direct connections to obtain desired physical and electrical properties.

Abstract: Filter capsules for showers and sinks used in surgical settings, clean rooms and other contaminant-sensitive settings having modified outlets for improved splash control. Flat, concave, convex, asymmetric concave and asymmetric convex outlet inserts have pluralities of fluid bores with varying orientations to permit enhanced fluid flow control out of the filter capsules including divergent, convergent and mixed divergent/convergent fluid flows. An inlet with an axis offset at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the filter capsule body permits user control over the fluid flow strike point in a sink or shower stall via rotation of the capsule about the inlet connection point. A recessed outlet improves the prevention of contaminant dispersal by recessing the outlet away from contact points and potential contaminant sources.

Abstract: An interposer (110) has contact pads at the top and/or bottom surfaces for connection to circuit modules (e.g. ICs 112). The interposer includes a substrate made of multiple layers (110.i). Each layer can be a substrate (110S), possibly a ceramic substrate, with circuitry. The substrates extend vertically. Multiple interposers are fabricated in a single structure (310) made of vertical layers (310.i) corresponding to the interposers' layers. The structure is diced along horizontal planes (314) to provide the interposers. An interposer's vertical conductive lines (similar to through-substrate vias) can be formed on the substrates' surfaces before dicing and before all the substrates are attached to each other. Thus, there is no need to make through-substrate holes for the vertical conductive lines. Non-vertical features can also be formed on the substrates' surfaces before the substrates are attached to each other. Other embodiments are also provided.

Abstract: HD color video using monochromatic CMOS image sensors integrated in a 3D package is provided. An example 3DIC package for color video includes a beam splitter to partition received light of an image stream into multiple light outputs. Multiple monochromatic CMOS image sensors are each coupled to one of the multiple light outputs to sense a monochromatic image stream at a respective component wavelength of the received light. Each monochromatic CMOS image sensor is specially constructed, doped, controlled, and tuned to its respective wavelength of light. A parallel processing integrator or interposer chip heterogeneously combines the respective monochromatic image streams into a full-spectrum color video stream, including parallel processing of an infrared or ultraviolet stream. The parallel processing of the monochromatic image streams provides reconstruction to HD or 4K HD color video at low light levels.

Abstract: Die (110) and/or undiced wafers and/or multichip modules (MCMs) are attached on top of an interposer (120) or some other structure (e.g. another integrated circuit) and are covered by an encapsulant (160). Then the interposer is thinned from below. Before encapsulation, a layer (410) more rigid than the encapsulant is formed on the interposer around the die to reduce or eliminate interposer dishing between the die when the interposer is thinned by a mechanical process (e.g. CMP). Other features are also provided.
