  • Patent number: 8760882
    Abstract: A wiring structure for improving a crown-like defect and a fabrication method thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps. A substrate, on which a seed layer and a patterned photoresist layer with an opening are formed, is provided. A copper layer, having a bottom covering the seed layer, is formed in the opening. A barrier layer covering at least one top portion of the copper layer is formed on the copper layer. An oxidation potential of the barrier layer is greater than that of the copper layer. The patterned photoresist layer is removed to perform an etching process, wherein the copper layer and a portion of the seed layer exposed are etched to form a wiring layer. An immersion process is performed to form an anti-oxidation layer comprehensively on exposed surfaces of the barrier layer and the wiring layer.

  • Patent number: 8742576
    Abstract: An MCM includes a two-dimensional array of facing chips, including island chips and bridge chips that communicate with each other using overlapping connectors. In order to maintain the relative vertical spacing of these connectors, compressible structures are in cavities in a substrate, which house the bridge chips, provide a compressive force on back surfaces of the bridge chips. These compressible structures include a compliant material with shape and volume compression. In this way, the MCM may ensure that facing surfaces of the island chips and the bridge chips, as well as connectors on these surfaces, are approximately coplanar without bending the bridge chips.
