Latest Patents

Sato’s listed patents address semiconductor fabrication and the integration of semiconductor dies.

“Manufacturing method for semiconductor device” describes a process for forming and bonding two semiconductor elements. The method uses substrates with different elastic moduli, forms an insulating layer and semiconductor element on the first substrate, bonds that element to a second semiconductor element, and then removes the first substrate from the resulting laminate.

“Semiconductor memory device” describes a stacked-die memory structure. Its first die includes a memory-cell array, conductive lines, and a bonding layer with electrically connected pads. At least one bonding pad is offset from its corresponding conductive line when viewed along the specified direction, and a second die is placed on the bonding layer.
