DIMENSION COMPENSATION CONTROL FOR DIRECTLY BONDED STRUCTURES
A method of direct hybrid bonding first and second semiconductor elements of differential thickness is disclosed. The method can include patterning a plurality of first contact features on the first semiconductor element. The method can include second a plurality of second contact features on the second semiconductor element corresponding to the first contact features for direct hybrid bonding. The method can include applying a lithographic magnification correction factor to one of the first patterning and second patterning without applying the lithographic magnification correction factor to the other of the first patterning and the second patterning. In various embodiments, a differential expansion compensation structure can be disposed on at least one of the first and the second semiconductor elements. The differential expansion compensation structure can be configured to compensate for differential expansion between the first and second semiconductor elements to reduce misalignment between at least the second and fourth contact features.
SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME
A method of forming a semiconductor package includes attaching a first package component to a first carrier; attaching a second package component to the first carrier, the second package component laterally displaced from the first package component; attaching a third package component to the first package component, the third package component being electrically connected to the first package component; removing the first carrier from the first package component and the second package component; after removing the first carrier, performing a first circuit probe test on the second package component to obtain first test data of the second package component; and comparing the first test data of the second package component with prior data of the second package component.
