  • Patent number: 7230342
    Abstract: A first mark, in a double-well integrated circuit technology, is formed by a first etching of a first mask layer on top of an ONO stack. After a first well is doped, a second etching occurs at the first etching sites in the uppermost layer of oxide of the ONO stack forming a first alignment artifact. A second mask layer is applied after removing the first mask layer. A second well doping occurs at second mask layer etching sites to maintain clearance between the two wells within active areas and provide an overlap of the two wells in a frame area. At the first alignment artifact in the overlap of the two wells, further etchings remove remaining layers of the ONO stack and remove silicon from the upper most layer of the semiconductor forming a second registration mark, which may be covered by a protective layer.

  • Patent number: 7208825
    Abstract: A semiconductor package and a fabrication method thereof are provided in which a chip is mounted on a substrate, and a dielectric layer is applied over the substrate and chip, with bond fingers formed on the substrate and electric contacts formed on the chip being exposed outside. A metal layer is formed over the dielectric layer and the exposed bond fingers and electric contacts, and patterned to form a plurality of conductive traces that electrically connect the electric contacts of the chip to the bond fingers of the substrate. The conductive traces replace conventional wire bonding technology and thus eliminate the occurrence of wire sweep or short circuits in fabrication processes. Therefore, a low profile chip with a reduced pitch between adjacent electric contacts can be used without being limited to feasibility of the wire bonding technology.

  • Patent number: 7129583
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-chip package structure, comprising a first substrate, a first chip, a sub-package and a first molding compound. The first chip is attached to the first substrate. The first molding compound encapsulates the first chip, the sub-package and the top surface of the first substrate. The bottom surface of the sub-package is attached to the first chip. The sub-package comprises a second substrate, a second chip and a second molding compound. The second substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface, and is electrically connected to the first chip. The second chip is attached to the top surface of the second substrate to which the second chip is electrically connected. The second molding compound encapsulates the second chip and part of the top surface of the second substrate. Whereby, the relative large area caused by the parallel arrangement of a plurality of conventional package structures can be reduced, and there is no need to redesign signal-transmitting path.
