  • Publication number: 20180366440
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first electronic component, a second electronic component and a plurality of interconnection structures. The first electronic component has a first surface. The second electronic component is over the first electronic component, and the second electronic component has a second surface facing the first surface of the first electronic component. The interconnection structures are between and electrically connected to the first electronic component and the second electronic component, wherein each of the interconnection structures has a length along a first direction substantially parallel to the first surface and the second surface, a width along a second direction substantially parallel to the first surface and the second surface and substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and the length is larger than the width of at least one of the interconnection structures.

  • Publication number: 20170373022
    Abstract: A method includes performing a first light-exposure and a second a second light-exposure on a photo resist. The first light-exposure is performed using a first lithograph mask, which covers a first portion of the photo resist. The first portion of the photo resist has a first strip portion exposed in the first light-exposure. The second light-exposure is performed using a second lithograph mask, which covers a second portion of the photo resist. The second portion of the photo resist has a second strip portion exposed in the second light-exposure. The first strip portion and the second strip portion have an overlapping portion that is double exposed. The method further includes developing the photo resist to remove the first strip portion and the second strip portion, etching a dielectric layer underlying the photo resist to form a trench, and filling the trench with a conductive feature.
