An electronic device (100) includes a substrate (110) and an integrated circuit (120) provided on the substrate (110) having a surface facing away from the substrate (110). An insulating layer (150) extends over the substrate (110) and around the integrated circuit (120) to define an interface (154) between the insulating layer (150) and the integrated circuit (120). An electrically conductive via (130) is provided on the surface of the integrated circuit (120). An insulating material (140) extends over the via (130) and includes an opening (142) exposing a portion of the via (130). A repassivation member (162) extends over the insulating layer (150) and has a surface (164) aligned with the interface (154). An electrically conductive redistribution member (181) is electrically connected to the via (130) and extends over the repassivation member (162) into contact with the insulating layer (150).

A method and apparatus for forming a plurality of vias in panels for advanced packaging applications is disclosed, according to one embodiment. A redistribution layer is deposited on a substrate layer. The redistribution layer may be deposited using a spin coating process, a spray coating process, a drop coating process, or lamination. The redistribution layer is then micro-imprinted using a stamp inside a chamber. The redistribution layer and the stamp are then baked inside the chamber. The stamp is removed from the redistribution layer to form a plurality of vias in the redistribution layer. Excess residue built-up on the redistribution layer may be removed using a descumming process. A residual thickness layer disposed between the bottom of each of the plurality of vias and the top of the substrate layer may have thickness of less than about 1 μm.

According to one embodiment, a template is provided with a transferring pattern on a first surface of a substrate. The transferring pattern includes a first projecting portion that projects from the first surface with a first height and extends in a first direction along the first surface, a second projecting portion that projects from the first surface with a second height higher than the first height and extends in a second direction along the first surface, a first columnar portion that is arranged at a position overlapping with the first projecting portion and has a top surface with a third height higher than the second height as a height from the first surface, and a second columnar portion that is arranged at a position overlapping with the second projecting portion and has a top surface with the third height as a height from the first surface.

According to one embodiment, there is provided a template including: a substrate having a first surface; a trench that is recessed from the first surface at a predetermined depth and extends along the first surface in a first direction, the trench includes a first portion having a second width in a second direction intersecting with the first direction and a second portion having a third width in the second direction; and a hole that is arranged is the first portion of the trench and extends from a bottom surface of the trench, and the first width is smaller than the second width, and the third width is smaller than the first width.

An imprint lithography stamp includes a stamp body having a patterned surface and formed from a fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer. The imprint lithography stamp further includes a backing plate with a plurality of through-holes with portions of the stamp body extending into the through-holes to adhere the stamp body to the backing plate. The patterned surface of the stamp body has a plurality of protrusions extending from the stamp body, which are used to form high aspect ratio features at high processing temperatures. A mold design for forming the imprint lithography stamp and an injection molding process for forming the imprint lithography stamp are also provided.

A carrier film according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a base film; and a first adhesive layer formed on a surface of the base film such that an element to be transferred is attached to the first adhesive layer, wherein the magnitude of force of adhesion between the element and the first adhesive layer is in proportion to the depth of press-fitting at which the element is press-fitted into the first adhesive layer.

A method of manufacturing a template, includes: covering a part of a first region of a substrate; processing another part of the first region to form a first pattern including a protrusion; covering the first region; and processing at least part of a second region of the substrate to form a second pattern including a depression.

According to one embodiment, an original plate for imprint lithography has a first surface side having a patterned portion thereon. The patterned portion includes a groove having a bottom surface recessed from a first surface to a first depth, and a columnar portion on the bottom surface and protruding from the bottom surface to extend beyond the first surface. The original plate maybe used to form replica templates by imprint lithography processes. The replica templates can be used in semiconductor device manufacturing processes or the like.

A pattern forming method includes: forming a second layer over a first layer; forming a first pattern along a surface of the second layer opposite to the first layer, the first pattern including an inclined portion with a recessed portion; and forming a second pattern on the first layer by performing, with the second layer as a mask, a first etching process to remove a part of the first layer.
