  • Patent number: 7449752
    Abstract: A new method is provided for the creation of interconnect lines. Fine line interconnects are provided in a first layer of dielectric overlying semiconductor circuits that have been created in or on the surface of a substrate. A layer of passivation is deposited over the layer of dielectric, a thick second layer of dielectric is created over the surface of the layer of passivation. Thick and wide interconnect lines are created in the thick second layer of dielectric. The first layer of dielectric may also be eliminated, creating the wide thick interconnect network on the surface of the layer of passivation that has been deposited over the surface of a substrate.

  • Publication number: 20080265401
    Abstract: An integrated chip package structure and method of manufacturing the same is by adhering dies on an organic substrate and forming a thin-film circuit layer on top of the dies and the organic substrate. Wherein the thin-film circuit layer has an external circuitry, which is electrically connected to the metal pads of the dies, that extends to a region outside the active surface of the dies for fanning out the metal pads of the dies. Furthermore, a plurality of active devices and an internal circuitry is located on the active surface of the dies. Signal for the active devices are transmitted through the internal circuitry to the external circuitry and from the external circuitry through the internal circuitry back to other active devices. Moreover, the chip package structure allows multiple dies with different functions to be packaged into an integrated package and electrically connecting the dies by the external circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20080258305
    Abstract: A barrier layer is deposited over a layer of passivation including in an opening to a contact pad created in the layer of passivation. A column of three layers of metal is formed overlying the barrier layer and aligned with the contact pad and having a diameter that is about equal to the surface of the contact pad. The three metal layers of the column comprise, in succession when proceeding from the layer that is in contact with the barrier layer, a layer of pillar metal, a layer of under bump metal and a layer of solder metal. The layer of pillar metal is reduced in diameter, the barrier layer is selectively removed from the surface of the layer of passivation after which reflowing of the solder metal completes the solder bump of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20080251940
    Abstract: A chip package includes a semiconductor chip, a flexible circuit film and a substrate. The substrate has a circuit structure in the substrate. The flexible circuit film is connected to the circuit structure of the substrate through metal joints, an anisotropic conductive film or wireboning wires. The semiconductor chip has fine-pitched metal bumps having a thickness of between 5 and 50 micrometers, and preferably of between 10 and 25 micrometers, and the semiconductor chip is joined with the flexible circuit film by the fine-pitched metal bumps using a chip-on-film (COF) technology or tape-automated-bonding (TAB) technology. A pitch of the neighboring metal bumps is less than 35 micrometers, such as between 10 and 30 micrometers.

  • Publication number: 20080246154
    Abstract: The present invention adds one or more thick layers of polymer dielectric and one or more layers of thick, wide metal lines on top of a finished semiconductor wafer, post-passivation. The thick, wide metal lines may be used for long signal paths and can also be used for power buses or power planes, clock distribution networks, critical signal, and re-distribution of I/O pads for flip chip applications. Photoresist defined electroplating, sputter/etch, or dual and triple damascene techniques are used for forming the metal lines and via fill.
