  • Patent number: 10553487
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor wafer and a conductive via formed partially through the semiconductor wafer. A portion of the semiconductor wafer and conductive via is removed by a chemical mechanical polishing process. The semiconductor wafer and conductive via are coplanar at first and second surfaces. A first insulating layer and a second insulating layer are formed over the conductive via and semiconductor wafer. The first insulating layer includes an inorganic material and the second insulating layer includes an organic material. An opening in the first and second insulating layers is formed over the conductive via while a second portion of the conductive via remains covered by the first and second insulating layers. A conductive layer is formed over the conductive via and first insulating layer. An interconnect structure is formed over the conductive layer. The semiconductor wafer is singulated into individual semiconductor die.

  • Patent number: 9824923
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a first semiconductor die and conductive vias in the first semiconductor die. The conductive vias can be formed by extending the vias partially through a first surface of the first semiconductor die. A portion of a second surface of the first semiconductor die is removed to expose the conductive vias. A plurality of conductive pillars is formed over the first surface the first semiconductor die. The conductive pillars include an expanded base electrically connected to the conductive vias. A width of the expanded base of the conductive pillars is greater than a width of a body of the conductive pillars. A conductive layer is formed over a second surface of the first semiconductor die. The conductive layer is electrically connected to the conductive vias. A second semiconductor die is mounted to the first semiconductor die with a second conductive pillar having an expanded base.

  • Patent number: 9257382
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a plurality of conductive vias formed into a semiconductor wafer. An insulating lining is formed around the conductive vias and a conductive layer is formed over the insulating lining. A portion of the semiconductor wafer is removed so the conductive vias extend above a surface of the semiconductor wafer. A first insulating layer is formed over the surface of the semiconductor wafer and conductive vias. A first portion of the first insulating layer is removed and a second portion of the first insulating layer remains as guard rings around the conductive vias. A conductive layer is formed over the conductive vias. A second insulating layer is formed over the surface of the semiconductor wafer, guard rings, and conductive vias. A portion of the second insulating layer is removed to expose the conductive vias and a portion of the guard rings.

  • Publication number: 20150348861
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die disposed over the substrate. A conductive via is formed partially through the substrate. An encapsulant is deposited over the semiconductor die and substrate. An insulating layer is formed over the semiconductor die and encapsulant. The insulating layer includes an organic or inorganic insulating material. An adhesive layer is deposited over the insulating layer. The adhesive layer contacts only the insulating layer. A carrier is bonded to the adhesive layer. The insulating layer provides a single CTE across the entire bonding interface between the adhesive layer and semiconductor die and encapsulant. The constant CTE of the insulating layer reduces stress across the bonding interface. A portion of the substrate is removed by backgrinding to expose the conductive via. An insulating layer is formed over the substrate around the conductive via. An interconnect structure is formed over the conductive via.
