Thermocompression Bonding with Passivated Tin-Based Contacting Metal
Methods and systems for low-force, low-temperature thermocompression bonding. The present application teaches new methods and structures for three-dimensional integrated circuits, in which cold thermocompression bonding is used to provide reliable bonding. To achieve this, reduction and passivation steps are preferably both used to reduce native oxide on the contact metals and to prevent reformation of native oxide, preferably using atmospheric plasma treatments. Preferably the physical compression height of the elements is set to be only enough to reliably achieve at least some compression of each bonding element pair, compensating for any lack of flatness. Preferably the thermocompression bonding is performed well below the melting point. This not only avoids the deformation of lower levels which is induced by reflow techniques, but also provides a steep relation of force versus z-axis travel, so that a drastically-increasing resistance to compression helps to regulate the degree of thermocompression.

APERTURE STRUCTURE ON SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT BACKSIDE TO ALLEVIATE DELAMINATION IN STACKED PACKAGING
A process includes forming one or more apertures on a component backside, creating a vacuum in a mold chase, and engaging the component backside with a mold compound in the mold chase. The one or more apertures form an aperture structure. The aperture structure may include multiple apertures parallel or orthogonal to each other. The apertures have an aperture width, aperture depth, and aperture pitch. These characteristics may be altered to minimize the likelihood of trapped air remaining after creating the vacuum in the mold chase.
