A manufacturing method includes the step of forming a diced semiconductor wafer (10) including semiconductor chips (11) from a semiconductor wafer (W) typically on a dicing tape (T1). The diced semiconductor wafer (10) on the dicing tape (T1) is laminated with a sinter-bonding sheet (20). The semiconductor chips (11) each with a sinter-bonding material layer (21) derived from the sinter-bonding sheet (20) are picked up typically from the dicing tape (T1). The semiconductor chips (11) each with the sinter-bonding material layer are temporarily secured through the sinter-bonding material layer (21) to a substrate. Through a heating process, sintered layers are formed from the sinter-bonding material layers (21) lying between the temporarily secured semiconductor chips (11) and the substrate, to bond the semiconductor chips (11) to the substrate. The semiconductor device manufacturing method is suitable for efficiently supplying a sinter-bonding material to individual semiconductor chips while reducing loss of the sinter-bonding material.

A manufacturing method includes the step of laminating a sheet assembly onto chips arranged on a processing tape, where the sheet assembly has a multilayer structure including a base and a sinter-bonding sheet and is laminated so that the sinter-bonding sheet faces the chips, and subsequently removing the base B from the sinter-bonding sheet. The chips on the processing tape are picked up each with a portion of the sinter-bonding sheet adhering to the chip, to give sinter-bonding material layer-associated chips. The sinter-bonding material layer-associated chips are temporarily secured through the sinter-bonding material layer to a substrate. The sinter-bonding material layers lying between the temporarily secured chips and the substrate are converted through a heating process into sintered layers, to bond the chips to the substrate. The semiconductor device manufacturing method is suitable for efficiently supplying a sinter-bonding material to semiconductor chips while reducing loses of the sinter-bonding material.

Disclosed are examples of integrated circuit (IC) structures and techniques to fabricate IC structures. Each IC package may include a die (e.g., a flip-chip (FC) die) and one or more die interconnects to electrically couple the die to a substrate. The die interconnect may include a pillar, a wetting barrier on the pillar, and a solder cap on the wetting barrier. The wetting barrier may be wider than the pillar such that during solder reflow, solder wetting of sidewall of the pillar is minimized or prevented all together. The die interconnect may also include a low wetting layer formed on the wetting barrier, which can further mitigate solder wetting problems.
