Abstract:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) device 90 is disclosed. A wafer 10 is first provided having a first or top surface and a second or bottom surface. The wafer may be a blank polished or unpolished silicon wafer or the like. High aspect ratio micro- structures 16 that are specifically designed to provide a die level interconnect configuration and mapping, are provided on the first blank surface 12 of the wafer. The wafer with pre- formed conductive interconnect microstructures 16 are further processed for device fabrication, for example, at the wafer fabrication facilities. Once the front side 12 devices are fabricated, the silicon material 20 is then removed from a second side 14 of the device wafer 10, opposite the first side, to expose the high temperature conductive interconnect microstructures 16. Contacts are formed on the second side of the device wafer using conductive metal. These contacts are electrically connected to the interior of the microstructures and thereby electrically connect with the functional device 26. The dies 90(1),90(2) are separated along the separation zones 88 between the dies to produce individualized functional and packaged dies, each of which serves as a fully packaged IC device 90.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) device is disclosed. A wafer including multiple dies is processed to form solder bumps at the bond pad locations. A conductive substrate is patterned for routing traces and connection pads and partially etched. Routers are formed to electrically route a connection pad to the interior of its corresponding routing terminals. The etched connection pads corresponds to the plurality of bond pad locations of the IC chip. The bumped IC chip is aligned and attached to the conductive substrate through the connection pads and solder bumps. The attached IC chip and the first side of the conductive substrate are then encapsulated. Un-processed conductive material is then removed from a second side of the substrate, opposite the first side, to expose the routers and routing terminals. Contacts are formed on the second side of the substrate that electrically connect with the routers in the interior of the connection pads to thereby electrically connect with the connection terminals on the first side of the IC chip. The packaged IC are then separated along the separation lines to produce individualized dies. An IC device including a separated die is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) device is disclosed. A wafer including multiple dies is processed to form cavities along scribe lines that separate the dies. The cavities correspond to connection pads of the dies. Routers are formed to electrically route a connection pad to the interior of its corresponding cavity. Wafer material is then removed from a second side of the wafer, opposite the first side, to expose the routers in the cavities. Contacts are formed on the second side that electrically connect with the routers in the interior of the cavities to thereby electrically connect with the connection pads on the first side. The dies are separated along the scribe lines to produce individualized dies. An IC device including a separated die is also disclosed.
