Structures and methods of fabricating semiconductor wafer assemblies that encapsulate one or die in a cavity etched into an oxide bonded semiconductor wafer stack. The methods generally include the steps of positioning the die in the cavity, mechanically and electrically mounting the die to the wafer stack, and encapsulating the die within the cavity by bonding a lid wafer to the wafer stack in one of multiple ways. Semiconductor processing steps are applied to construct the assemblies (e.g., deposition, annealing, chemical and mechanical polishing, etching, etc.) and connecting the die (e.g., bump bonding, wire interconnecting, ultrasonic bonding, oxide bonding, etc.) according to the embodiments described above.

The present invention relates to an electronic module. In particular, to an electronic module which includes one or more components embedded in an installation base. The electronic module can be a module like a circuit board, which includes several components, which are connected to each other electrically, through conducting structures manufactured in the module. The components can be passive components, microcircuits, semiconductor components, or other similar components. Components that are typically connected to a circuit board form one group of components. Another important group of components are components that are typically packaged for connection to a circuit board. The electronic modules to which the invention relates can, of course, also include other types of components.

A semiconductor device is disclosed including an integrated memory module. The integrated memory module may include a pair of semiconductor die, which together, operate as a single, integrated flash memory. In one example, the first die may include the memory cell array and the second die may include the logic circuit such as CMOS integrated circuits. In one example, the second die may be flip-chip bonded to the first die. The flip-chip bond pads on the first and second dies may be made small, with a small pitch, to allow a large number of electrical interconnections between the first and second semiconductor dies.

An apparatus includes a transfer mechanism to transfer an electrically-actuatable element directly from a wafer tape to a transfer location on a circuit trace on a product substrate.
