Abstract: Handler wafers and methods of handling a wafer include positioning a handler, which is attached to a wafer by a bonding layer that comprises a debonding layer, an optical enhancement layer, and an anti-reflection layer. The handler is debonded from the wafer using a laser that emits laser energy at a wavelength that is absorbed by the debonding layer and that is confined to the debonding layer by the optical enhancement layer, such that the material of the debonding layer ablates when exposed to the laser energy to release the wafer.

Abstract: An interconnect system may connect a first semiconductor device with second semiconductor device. The interconnect system includes patterned mask, conductive pads, solder bumps, and an adhesion layer. The patterned mask may be retained after it is utilized to fabricate the conductive pads and the solder bumps. The patterned mask may be thinned, and the adhesion layer may be formed upon the thinned patterned mask and upon the solder bumps. The adhesion layer and the solder bumps may be partially removed or planarized and the top surface of the adhesion layer that remains between the solder bumps may be coplanar with the top surface of the solder bumps.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes a substrate including at least one electrical connection to at least one of power or ground. The package further includes a bridge structure including at least one layer of conductive material and at least one layer of insulative material. The bridge structure is configured to be coupled to the substrate such that the conductive material is electrically connected to the at least one electrical connection. The bridge structure includes a side pad made of conductive material that is electrically connected to the at least one electrical connection. The side pad is in direct contact with the conductive material and with the insulative material of the bridge structure. The side pad forms an end face of the bridge structure such that the conductive material of the side pad is exposed.

Abstract: An electronic device is formed by dispensing an underfill material around a perimeter of an integrated circuit (IC) chip bonded to a supporting substrate. A void in present in the underfill material that is present between the IC chip and the supporting substrate. An opening is present through at least one of the IC chip and the supporting substrate into communication with the void. A vacuum may be applied to the void through the opening that is present through the IC chip to reduce a size of the void to a first volume. The opening that is present through the IC chip is sealed with a sealing plate. The underfill material is cured after the sealing of the opening to reduce of the void to at least a second volume that is less than the first volume.
