  • Publication number: 20240153901
    Abstract: A first and second semiconductor device are bonded together using a bonding contact pad embedded within a bonding dielectric layer of the first semiconductor device and at least one bonding via embedded within a bonding dielectric layer of the second semiconductor device. The bonding contact pad extends a first dimension in a first direction perpendicular to the major surface of the first semiconductor device and a second dimension in a second direction parallel to the plane of the first semiconductor wafer, the second dimension being at least twice the first dimension. The bonding via extends a third dimension in the first direction and a fourth dimension in the second direction, the third dimension being at least twice the first dimension. The bonding contact pad and bonding via may be at least partially embedded in respective bonding dielectric layers in respective topmost dielectric layers of respective stacked interconnect layers.

  • Publication number: 20240113034
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor package is provided. The method includes forming a first alignment mark in a first substrate of a first wafer and forming a first bonding structure over the first substrate. The method also includes forming a second bonding structure over a second substrate of a second wafer and trimming the second substrate, so that a first width of the first substrate is greater than a second width of the second substrate. The method further includes attaching the second wafer to the first wafer via the first bonding structure and the second bonding structure, thinning the second wafer until a through-substrate via in the second substrate is exposed, and performing a photolithography process on the second wafer using the first alignment mark.

  • Publication number: 20240096830
    Abstract: A method includes forming a first sealing layer at a first edge region of a first wafer; and bonding the first wafer to a second wafer to form a wafer stack. At a time after the bonding, the first sealing layer is between the first edge region of the first wafer and a second edge region of the second wafer, with the first edge region and the second edge region comprising bevels. An edge trimming process is then performed on the wafer stack. After the edge trimming process, the second edge region of the second wafer is at least partially removed, and a portion of the first sealing layer is left as a part of the wafer stack. An interconnect structure is formed as a part of the second wafer. The interconnect structure includes redistribution lines electrically connected to integrated circuit devices in the second wafer.

  • Patent number: 9049790
    Abstract: The invention relates to a masking layer. The masking layer produced by coating a white-color photosensitive resin composition on a peripheral region of a transparent substrate, developing the white-color photosensitive resin composition to obtain a patterned composition layer, coating a gray-color photosensitive resin composition on the cured composition layer and developing the gray-color photosensitive resin composition, so that the gray-color photosensitive resin composition is cured to obtain the masking layer having an optical density (O.D.) of ?3.5. The masking layer is adapted for use on a touch panel or a flat panel display device. The masking layer shows a white color appearance when viewed from outside and serves as a white color decoration around the peripheral region of the device. The masking layer further comprises a gray colored sub-layer to mask the electrical circuitry disposed beneath the masking layer.
