A method of selectively transferring micro devices from a donor substrate to contact pads on a receiver substrate. Micro devices being attached to a donor substrate with a donor force. The donor substrate and receiver substrate are aligned and brought together so that selected micro devices meet corresponding contact pads. A receiver force is generated to hold selected micro devices to the contact pads on the receiver substrate. The donor force is weakened and the substrates are moved apart leaving selected micro devices on the receiver substrate. Several methods of generating the receiver force are disclosed, including adhesive, mechanical and electrostatic techniques.

A semiconductor device includes a stack of semiconductor dies, stacked in a stepped offset configuration, where the dies have different storage capacities and different sizes. Using dies of different sizes allows dies to be added to the stack without adding to the footprint of the semiconductor device. Using dies of different storage capacity also allows semiconductor devices to be tailored to specific storage capacity needs.

According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a metal bump on a first surface side of a semiconductor chip, positioning the semiconductor chip so the metal bump contacts a pad of an interconnection substrate, and applying a first light from a second surface side of the semiconductor chip and melting the metal bump with the first light. After the melting, the melted metal bump is allowed to resolidify by stopping or reducing the application of the first light. The semiconductor chip is then pressed toward the interconnection substrate. A second light is then applied from the second surface side of the semiconductor chip while the semiconductor chip is being pressed toward the interconnection substrate to melt the metal bump. After the melting, the melted metal bump is allowed to resolidify by the stopping or reducing of the application of the second light.

A 4D device comprises a 2D multi-core logic and a 3D memory stack connected through the memory stack sidewall using a fine pitch T&J connection. The 3D memory in the stack is thinned from the original wafer thickness to no remaining Si. A tongue and groove device at the memory wafer top and bottom surfaces allows an accurate stack alignment. The memory stack also has micro-channels on the backside to allow fluid cooling. The memory stack is further diced at the fixed clock-cycle distance and is flipped on its side and re-assembled on to a template into a pseudo-wafer format. The top side wall of the assembly is polished and built with BEOL to fan-out and use the T&J fine pitch connection to join to the 2D logic wafer. The other side of the memory stack is polished, fanned-out, and bumped with C4 solder. The invention also comprises a process for manufacturing the device. In another aspect, the invention comprises a 4D process and device for over 50× greater than 2D memory density per die and an ultra high density memory.
