Abstract:
A method is provided for fabricating a 3D integrated circuit structure. According to the method, a first active circuitry layer wafer is provided. The first active circuitry layer wafer comprises a P+ portion covered by a P− layer, and the P− layer includes active circuitry. The first active circuitry layer wafer is bonded face down to an interface wafer that includes a first wiring layer, and then the P+ portion of the first active circuitry layer wafer is selectively removed with respect to the P− layer of the first active circuitry layer wafer. Next, a wiring layer is fabricated on the backside of the P− layer. Also provided are a tangible computer readable medium encoded with a program for fabricating a 3D integrated circuit structure, and a 3D integrated circuit structure.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lead-free hierarchical structure for packaging electronic circuits. SOLUTION: The electronic circuit package has the hierarchy of liquidus temperature in mutual joining of solder limiting fused degree of the mutually joining of the solder with a C4 (current controlled collapse chip joining) technique between the following second level joining /assembling-treatment and a rework-treatment. The solder hierarchy is used to Sn/Ag and Sn/Cu non-eutectic solder alloy having high liquidus temperature for mutually joining of the solder with the C4 technique at the first level and used to an alloy having low liquidus temperature for mutually joining the second level. When the joining/assembling treatment of a chip-carrier into a PCB is performed, the mutually joining part with the C4 technique is not fully fused. These continuously keep liquid having smaller amount than that of a fully fused alloy. This reduces the expansion of solder joining and as this result the stress is weakened in the mutually joining with the C4 technique. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector surrounded with a compressive material which connects a device with a support without separation. SOLUTION: An unleaded connector is formed on the device, the unleaded connector is surrounded with a compressive film, the device is combined with the support, i.e. the unleaded connector connects the device with the support electrically, and a clearance between the support and the device is filled with an insulation underfill. A device supporting structure constituted of these and a forming method for it are disclosed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal-insulator-metal capacitor having improved manufacturing possibility, and to provide a method for fabricating the same. SOLUTION: A semiconductor structure including the vertical metal-insulator-metal capacitor, and a method for fabricating the semiconductor structure including the vertical metal-insulator-metal capacitor, each use structural components from a dummy metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor located and formed over an isolation region located over a semiconductor substrate. The dummy metal oxide field effect transistor may be formed simultaneously with a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor located over a semiconductor substrate that includes the isolation region. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor uses a gate as a capacitor plate, a uniform thickness gate spacer as a gate dielectric and a contact via as another capacitor plate. The uniform thickness gate spacer may include a conductor layer for enhanced capacitance. A mirrored metal-insulator-metal capacitor structure that uses a single contact via may also be used for enhanced capacitance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
