  • Patent number: 7632719
    Abstract: A packaged semiconductor device (a wafer-level chip scale package) containing a conductive adhesive material as an electrical interconnect route between the semiconductor die and a patterned conductive substrate is described. The patterned conductive substrate acts not only as a substrate, but also as a redistribution layer that converts the dense pad layout of the die to a larger array configuration of the solder balls in the circuit board. Using the invention allows the formation of a lower priced chip scale package that also overcomes the restriction of the die size used in die-sized chip packages and the input-output pattern that can be required by the printed circuit board. Thus, the invention can provide a familiar pitch (i.e., interface) to the printed circuit board for any small die.

An inner oxide layer is formed on an inner wall of the trench and sidewalls of the tunnel oxide pattern and the first conductive pattern. The inner oxide layer is cured, thereby forming a silicon nitride layer on the inner oxide layer. A device isolation pattern is formed in the trench, and the hard mask pattern and the pad oxide pattern are removed from the substrate. A dielectric layer and a second conductive pattern are formed on the substrate. Accordingly, the silicon nitride layer prevents hydrogen (H) atoms from leaking into the device isolation pattern.
