  • Patent number: 7294531
    Abstract: Provided is a method by which differently-sized chips may be stacked at the wafer level. The wafer level chip stack method utilizes first and second wafer assemblies that support first and second wafers on adhesive tapes. One or both of the supported wafers may be sawed or otherwise divided to obtain separate first and second chips that remain fixed to respective first ring frames. The first and second wafer assemblies may then be positioned and aligned so that a back surface of the second wafer faces an active surface of the first wafer. Each of the second chips may then be bonded to a corresponding first chip to form a chip stack using an adhesive layer. The chip stacks may then be detached from the wafer assemblies and attached to a substrate.

  • Patent number: 7272380
    Abstract: A user authentication method includes varying a threshold value for human body recognition depending on the extent to which an input graphical password matches with a registered graphical password and determining whether to authenticate a user or not based on a result of comparing the user's human body recognition information with registered human body recognition information. Thus, it is possible to improve convenience, reliability, and security of user authentication based on a graphical password in a device, such as a PDA or other portable electronic device, not having a key manipulation unit. In addition, a biometrics unit that used to provide authentication functions and to carry out user authentication may be improved by lowering both FAR and FRR by variably setting a threshold value for biometrics depending on the result of user authentication using a graphical password.

  • Patent number: 7262114
    Abstract: A die attaching method of a semiconductor chip simplifies the process of fabricating a package from the chip while preventing the chip form being damaged even when the chip is very thin. Warpage prevention material is adhered to a top surface of a wafer having a plurality of chips formed thereon, and then the wafer is cut to separate the chips from one another. Each semiconductor chip is then placed on and attached to a die pad of a base frame, while the warpage prevention material is detached from the semiconductor chip. Thus, the warpage prevention material is removed without requiring a process that is extraneous to the die attaching process.

  • Publication number: 20050282374
    Abstract: A method of forming a stack of thin wafers provides a wafer level stack to greatly reduce process time compared to a method where individually separated chips are stacked after a wafer is sawed. A rigid planar wafer support member stabilizes and planarizes each wafer while it is thin or its thickness is reduced and during subsequent wafer processing. Thinned wafers are stacked and the external support members are removed by applying heat or ultraviolet (UV) light to an expandable adhesive layer between the support members and the thin wafers. The stacked wafers then can be further processed and packaged without thin-wafer warping, cracking or breaking. A wafer level package made in accordance with the invented method also is disclosed.
