A package structure includes a first thermal dissipation structure. The first thermal dissipation structure includes a semiconductor substrate, conductive vias, a thermal transmission structure, first capacitors, bonding pads, and bonding vias. The conductive vias are embedded in the semiconductor substrate. The thermal transmission structure is disposed over the semiconductor substrate and the conductive vias. The thermal transmission structure includes a conductive plane. The first capacitors are at least partially embedded in the thermal transmission structure. The bonding pads and the bonding vias are embedded in the thermal transmission structure. The bonding vias electrically connect the conductive vias and the bonding pads. The conductive plane is in physical contact with sidewalls of at least one of the bonding pads.

Structure having thermal dissipation structure therein and manufacturing method thereof

Interconnect structures, packaged semiconductor devices, and methods of packaging semiconductor devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, an interconnect structure includes a polymer material and a post passivation interconnect (PPI) pad disposed over the polymer material. A PPI line is disposed within an opening in the polymer material, the PPI line being coupled to the PPI pad.

Interconnect structures, packaged semiconductor devices, and methods of packaging semiconductor devices

Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a pad with high strength and bondability. In some embodiments, an integrated chip comprises a substrate, an interconnect structure, a pad, and a conductive structure. The interconnect structure adjoins the substrate and comprises wires and vias. The wires and the vias are stacked between the pad and the substrate. The conductive structure (e.g., a wire bond) extends through the substrate to the pad. By arranging the wires and the vias between the pad and the substrate, the pad may be inset into a passivation layer of the interconnect structure and the passivation layer may absorb stress on the pad. Further, the pad may contact the wires and the vias at a top wire level. A thickness of the top wire level may exceed a thickness of other wire levels, whereby the top wire level may be more tolerant to stress.

Pad structure for enhanced bondability

A method includes providing a detector disposed above a semiconductor structure; identifying a portion of the semiconductor structure at a temperature substantially greater than a predetermined threshold by the detector; rotating the stage; and deriving a position of the portion of the semiconductor structure based upon the rotation of the stage.

Method of analyzing semiconductor structure

A package structure includes a first thermal dissipation structure, a first semiconductor die, a second semiconductor die. The first thermal dissipation structure includes a semiconductor substrate, conductive vias embedded in the semiconductor substrate, first capacitors electrically connected to the conductive vias, and a thermal transmission structure disposed over the semiconductor substrate and the conductive vias. The first semiconductor die is disposed on the first thermal dissipation structure. The second semiconductor die is disposed on the first semiconductor die opposite to the first thermal dissipation structure.

Package structure having thermal dissipation structure therein and manufacturing method thereof

A method includes loading the semiconductor structure on a stage; providing a detector disposed above the semiconductor structure and the stage; applying a voltage to the semiconductor structure; identifying a portion of the semiconductor structure at a temperature substantially greater than a predetermined threshold by the detector; rotating the stage and recording a rotation of the stage after identifying the portion of the semiconductor structure; and deriving a position of the portion of the semiconductor structure based upon the rotation of the stage.

A method includes forming an electrical connector over a substrate of a wafer, and molding a polymer layer, with at least a portion of the electrical connector molded in the polymer layer. A first sawing step is performed to form a trench in the polymer layer. After the first sawing step, a second sawing step is performed to saw the wafer into a plurality of dies.

Integrated circuit packages and methods for forming the same

A chip includes a first group of dummy bumps disposed at a top surface of the chip in a first corner of the chip, a second group of dummy bumps disposed at the top surface of the chip in a second corner of the chip, and active bump connectors disposed at the top surface of the chip. The chip also includes an outer seal ring disposed around a periphery of the chip, a first seal ring arrangement disposed around the first group of dummy bumps, and a second seal ring arrangement disposed around the second group of dummy bumps. The first seal ring arrangement and second seal ring arrangement are disposed in dielectric layers underlying the first and second groups of dummy bumps.

Packaging structures of integrated circuits

Methods and apparatuses for wafer level packaging (WLP) semiconductor devices are disclosed. A redistribution layer (RDL) is formed on a first passivation layer in contact with a conductive pad over a surface of a die. The RDL layer is on top of a first region of the first passivation layer. A second passivation layer is formed on the RDL layer with an opening to expose the RDL layer, and over the first passivation layer. An under bump metallization (UBM) layer is formed over the second passivation layer in contact with the exposed RDL layer. A second region of the first passivation layer disjoint from the first region is determined by projecting an outer periphery of a solder ball or other connector onto the surface.
