A semiconductor device comprises a metallization layer, a passivation layer disposed above the metallization layer, a copper redistribution layer disposed on the passivation layer, a second passivation layer disposed on the copper redistribution layer, and a polyimide layer disposed over the second passivation layer. The polyimide layer and the second passivation layer include a continuous gap there-through that exposes a portion of the copper redistribution layer.

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to an electronic device including: a substrate; a metallization layer, the metallization layer having: a first surface disposed on the substrate; a second surface opposite the first surface; and a corrosion-prevention implant layer disposed in the metallization layer, the corrosion-prevention implant layer extending from the second surface to a depth from the second surface in the metallization layer, the depth being less than a thickness of the metallization layer; and an electrical connector coupled with the second surface.

A chip package is provided. The chip package may include at least one chip, an exposed metal region and a metal protection layer structure over the exposed metal region and configured to protect the metal region from oxidation. The protection layer structure includes a low-temperature deposited oxide, and a hydrothermally converted metal oxide layer over the protection layer structure.

A method for bonding a first substrate with a second substrate, characterized in that the first substrate and/or the second substrate is/are thinned before the bonding.

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device including: a semiconductor substrate; a conductive film covering a front face of the semiconductor substrate, a front face of the conductive film having plural straight-line shaped concave portions disposed in parallel to each other; and a protecting film covering the front face of the conductive film, the protecting film having an opening that has an edge forming an angle with the plural concave portions of greater than 0 and less than 90, and that partially exposes the conductive film.

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor package includes a contact pad, a device external to the contact pad and a solder bump on the contact pad. The device has a conductive contact pad corresponding to the contact pad. The solder bump connects the contact pad with the conductive contact pad. The solder bump comprises a height from a top of the solder bump to the contact pad; and a width which is a widest dimension of the solder bump in a direction perpendicular to the height. A junction portion of the solder bump in proximity to the contact pad comprises an hourglass shape.

A semiconductor structure includes an electrically conductive structure formed upon an uppermost organic layer of a semiconductor substrate. A capping layer is formed upon the uppermost organic layer covering the electrically conductive structure. A maskless selective removal lasering technique ejects portions of the capping layer while retaining the portion of the capping layer covering the electrically conductive structure. Portions of the capping layer are ejected from the uppermost organic layer by a shockwave as a result of the laser beam vaporizing the uppermost organic layer of the semiconductor substrate. Portions of the capping layer contacting the electrically conductive structure are retained by the conductive structure dissipating heat from the laser that would otherwise vaporize the uppermost organic layer of the semiconductor substrate.
