  • Patent number: 7268440
    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer includes a plurality of active circuit die areas, each of which being bordered by a dicing line region through which the plurality of active circuit die areas are separated from each other by mechanical wafer dicing. Each of the plurality of active circuit die areas has four sides. An overcoat covers both the active circuit die areas and the dicing line region. An inter-layer dielectric layer is disposed underneath the overcoat. A reinforcement structure includes a plurality of holes formed within the dicing line region. The plurality of holes are formed by etching through the overcoat into the inter-layer dielectric layer and are disposed along the four sides of each active circuit die area. A die seal ring is disposed in between the active circuit chip area and the reinforcement structure.

  • Patent number: 6881654
    Abstract: A solder bump structure and laser repair process for memory device include forming a first dielectric layer on a bump pad of a semiconductor wafer. After that, the first dielectric layer is etched to form a contact hole and to expose portions of the bump pad. A second dielectric layer is then formed on a surface of the semiconductor wafer outside of the contact hole. An under bump metallurgy (UBM) process is performed to form a metal layer on a surface of the contact hole, and a solder bump is formed on the metal layer. Finally, the laser repair process for memory device is completed.
