  • Patent number: 8852969
    Abstract: A wafer-level method of fabricating an opto-electronic component package, in which the opto-electronic component is mounted to a semiconductor wafer having first and second surfaces on opposite sides of the wafer. The method includes etching vias in the first surface of the semiconductor wafer. The first surface and surfaces in the vias are metallized, and the metal is structured to define a thermal pad and to define the anode and cathode contact pads. A carrier wafer is attached on the side of the semiconductor wafer having the first surface, and the semiconductor wafer is thinned from its second surface to expose the metallization in the vias. Metal is provided on the second surface, and the metal is structured to define a die attach pad and additional anode and cathode pads for the opto-electronic component. The opto-electronic component is mounted on the die attach pad and a protective cover is formed over the opto-electronic component.

  • Patent number: 8729591
    Abstract: Non-planar via designs for sub-mounts on which to mount a LED or other optoelectronic device include a continuous layer of metal to conduct the current from the front-side (e.g., LED side) to the backside (e.g., SMD side) through the via and to provide a sufficiently stable and reliable under bump metallization for SMD soldering. Each UBM can be structured so that it does not fully cover the sidewall surfaces of the via that forms the front-to-backside interconnect. In some implementations, each via structure for the feedthrough metallization extends to a respective side-edge of the sub-mount.

  • Publication number: 20090181500
    Abstract: A wafer-level method of fabricating a chip-to-wafer or wafer-to-wafer semiconductor packages includes etching a cavity into a first semiconductor wafer and etching vias in a bottom of the cavity. The cavity and sidewalls of the vias are selectively metallized. The cavity can be used to house either an electrical circuit component or to contain a device die. A second semiconductor wafer is placed over the cavity-side of the first semiconductor and is sealed to the first semiconductor wafer. A backside of the first semiconductor wafer is thinned to expose metallization in the vias and metal is deposited on the backside to form circuit routing paths.
