Abstract:
A transfer substrate with a compliant resin is used to bond one or more chips to a target wafer. An implant region is formed in a transfer substrate. A portion of the transfer substrate is etched to form a riser. Compliant material is applied to the transfer substrate. A chip is secured to the compliant material, wherein the chip is secured to the compliant material above the riser. The chip is bonded to a target wafer while the chip is secured to the compliant material. The transfer substrate and compliant material are removed from the chip. The transfer substrate is opaque to UV light.

A semiconductor device includes: a first substrate including a first surface layer that includes first and second electrodes; a second substrate including a second surface layer that includes third and fourth electrodes, and directly bonded to the first substrate such that the second surface layer is in contact with the first surface layer; and a functional film provided between the second and fourth electrodes. The first and third electrodes are bonded together so as to be in contact with each other, and the second electrode, the functional film, and the fourth electrode constitute a passive element.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit structure includes a package component, which further includes a non-porous dielectric layer having a first porosity, and a porous dielectric layer over and contacting the non-porous dielectric layer, wherein the porous dielectric layer has a second porosity higher than the first porosity.
