A photodetector-array and fabrication method thereof are disclosed. The photodetector-array includes a first and second semiconductor structures having respective active regions defining respective pluralities of active photodetectors and active readout integrated circuit pixels (RICPs) electronically connectable to one another respectively. The first and second semiconductor structures are made with different semiconductor materials/compositions having different first and second coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) respectively. The pitch distances of the active photodetectors and the pitch distances of the respective active RICPs are configured in accordance with the difference between the first and second CTEs, such that at high temperatures, at which electrical coupling between the first and second semiconductor structures is performed, the electric contacts of the active photodetectors and of their respective RICPs overlap. Accordingly, after the first and second semiconductor structures are bonded together, at least 99.5% of the active photodetector are electrically connected with their respective RICPs.

A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip mounted on a substrate that has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to each other, and connection members that connect the substrate and the semiconductor chip to each other. The connection members include first connection members disposed on a central region of the semiconductor chip and that have heights equal to each other, and second connection members disposed on an edge region of the semiconductor chip and that have heights equal to each other. The heights of the first connection members differ from the heights of the second connection members.

A microelectronic structure includes a semiconductor having conductive elements at a first surface. Wire bonds have bases joined to the conductive elements and free ends remote from the bases, the free ends being remote from the substrate and the bases and including end surfaces. The wire bonds define edge surfaces between the bases and end surfaces thereof. A compliant material layer extends along the edge surfaces within first portions of the wire bonds at least adjacent the bases thereof and fills spaces between the first portions of the wire bonds such that the first portions of the wire bonds are separated from one another by the compliant material layer. Second portions of the wire bonds are defined by the end surfaces and portions of the edge surfaces adjacent the end surfaces that are extend from a third surface of the compliant later.

A semiconductor package and a manufacturing method thereof are described. The semiconductor package includes a package having dies encapsulated by an encapsulant, a redistribution circuit structure, first and second modules and affixing blocks. The redistribution circuit structure is disposed on the package. The first and second modules are disposed on and respectively electrically connected to the redistribution circuit structure by first and second connectors disposed there-between. The first and second modules are adjacent to each other and disposed side by side on the redistribution circuit structure. The affixing blocks are disposed on the redistribution circuit structure and between the first and second modules and the redistribution circuit structure. The affixing blocks include first footing portions located below the first module, second footing portions located below the second module, and exposed portions exposed from the first and second modules. The affixing blocks join the first and second modules to the redistribution circuit structure.
