Methods of forming integrated circuit devices using cutting tools to expose metallization pads through a cap structure and related cutting devices
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device can include providing an integrated circuit electrically coupled to a metallization pad on a semiconductor wafer, the integrated circuit and the metallization pad covered by a cap structure. A channel can be cut in a portion of the cap structure that covers the metallization pad using a cutting tool having a tip surface and a beveled side surface to expose an upper surface of the metallization pad in the channel extending in a first direction and a conductive material can be deposited in the channel to ohmically contact the upper surface of the metallization pad in the channel.
