A multi-chip package includes a substrate (110) having a first side (111), an opposing second side (112), and a third side (213) that extends from the first side to the second side, a first die (120) attached to the first side of the substrate and a second die (130) attached to the first side of the substrate, and a bridge (140) adjacent to the third side of the substrate and attached to the first die and to the second die. No portion of the substrate is underneath the bridge. The bridge creates a connection between the first die and the second die. Alternatively, the bridge may be disposed in a cavity (615, 915) in the substrate or between the substrate and a die layer (750). The bridge may constitute an active die and may be attached to the substrate using wirebonds (241, 841, 1141, 1541).

A 4D device comprises a 2D multi-core logic and a 3D memory stack connected through the memory stack sidewall using a fine pitch T&J connection. The 3D memory in the stack is thinned from the original wafer thickness to no remaining Si. A tongue and groove device at the memory wafer top and bottom surfaces allows an accurate stack alignment. The memory stack also has micro-channels on the backside to allow fluid cooling. The memory stack is further diced at the fixed clock-cycle distance and is flipped on its side and re-assembled on to a template into a pseudo-wafer format. The top side wall of the assembly is polished and built with BEOL to fan-out and use the T&J fine pitch connection to join to the 2D logic wafer. The other side of the memory stack is polished, fanned-out, and bumped with C4 solder. The invention also comprises a process for manufacturing the device. In another aspect, the invention comprises a 4D process and device for over 50× greater than 2D memory density per die and an ultra high density memory.

A nucleation suppression layer including a self-assembly material can be formed on a surface of a bonding dielectric layer without depositing the self-assembly material on physically exposed surfaces of first metal bonding pads of a first semiconductor die. Metallic liners including a second metal can be formed on the physically exposed surfaces of the metal bonding pads without depositing the second metal on the nucleation suppression layer. The first semiconductor die is bonded to a second semiconductor die by inducing metal-to-metal bonding between mating pairs of the first metal bonding pads and second metal bonding pads of the second semiconductor die.

A semiconductor package and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die, a cap layer, a conductive terminal, and a dam structure. The semiconductor die has a first surface. The cap layer is over the semiconductor die and has a second surface facing the first surface of the semiconductor die. The conductive terminal penetrates the cap layer and electrically connects to the semiconductor die. The dam structure is between the semiconductor die and the cap layer and surrounds a portion of the conductive terminal between the first surface and the second surface, thereby forming a gap between the cap layer and the semiconductor die.
