  • Publication number: 20240096719
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first substrate, an electronic component, and a lid. The first substrate includes a first substrate top side, a first substrate bottom side opposite to the first substrate top side, a first substrate lateral side interposed between the first substrate top side and the first substrate bottom side, and a connector structure. The electronic component is coupled to the first substrate top side and coupled to the connector structure. The lid includes a wall part including a ring part coupled to the first substrate top side, a first part of an overhang part coupled to the first substrate lateral side, and a second part of the overhang part extending from the first part of the overhang part away from the first substrate lateral side.

  • Publication number: 20240099030
    Abstract: A bonded assembly includes an interposer; a semiconductor die that is attached to the interposer and including a planar horizontal bottom surface and a contoured sidewall; a high bandwidth memory (HBM) die that is attached to the interposer; and a dielectric material portion contacting the semiconductor die and the interposer. The contoured sidewall includes a vertical sidewall segment and a non-horizontal, non-vertical surface segment that is adjoined to a bottom edge of the vertical sidewall segment and is adjoined to an edge of the planar horizontal bottom surface of the semiconductor die. The vertical sidewall segment and the non-horizontal, non-vertical surface segment are in contact with the dielectric material portion. The contoured sidewall may provide a variable lateral spacing from the HBM die to reduce local stress in a portion of the HBM die that is proximal to the interposer.

  • Patent number: 7157734
    Abstract: Described is a semiconductor device having improved semiconductor bond pad reliability and methods of manufacturing thereof. The semiconductor device includes a layer formed over an integrated circuit on a semiconductor substrate. The first layer includes a conductive portion and an insulating portion. A second layer is then formed over the first layer and includes a conductive portion corresponding to the first layer's conductive portion and an insulating portion corresponding to the first layer's insulating portion. A bond pad is then formed over the first and second layers such that the bond pad is substantially situated above the conductive portions and the insulating portions of the first and second layers. A bonding ball is then formed on the bond pad substantially above the conduction portion of the first and second layers.
