To improve programming performance for a non-volatile memory , the verification of multiple programming levels can be performed based on a single discharge of a sensing capacitor through a selected memory cell by using different voltage levels on a second plate of the sensing capacitor: after discharging a first plate of the sensing capacitor through the selected memory cell, a result amount of charge is trapped on the first plate, which is then used to set first and second control gate voltages on a sensing transistor whose control gate is connected to the first place of the sensing capacitor based on respectively setting the second plate of the sensing capacitor to first and second voltage levels. To further improve programming performance, when the non-volatile memory stores in a multistate format, after the next to highest data state finishes programming, the next programming pulse can use a larger step size.

A method includes bonding a second package component to a first package component, bonding a third package component to the first package component, attaching a dummy die to the first package component, encapsulating the second package component, the third package component, and the dummy die in an encapsulant, and performing a planarization process to level a top surface of the second package component with a top surface of the encapsulant. After the planarization process, an upper portion of the encapsulant overlaps the dummy die. The dummy die is sawed-through to separate the dummy die into a first dummy die portion and a second dummy die portion. The upper portion of the encapsulant is also sawed through.

At least one polymer material may be employed to facilitate bonding between the semiconductor dies. Plasma treatment, formation of a blended polymer, or formation of polymer hairs may be employed to enhance bonding. Alternatively, air gaps can be formed by subsequently removing the polymer material to reduce capacitive coupling between adjacent bonding pads.

The present invention has: a heater; and a bonding tool having a lower surface on which a memory chip is adsorbed; and an upper surface attached to the heater, and is provided with a bonding tool which presses the peripheral edge of the memory chip to a solder ball in a first peripheral area of the lower surface and which presses the center of the memory chip (60) to a DAF having a heat resistance temperature lower than that of the solder ball in a first center area. The amount of heat transmitted from the first center area to the center of the memory chip is smaller than that transmitted from the first peripheral area (A) to the peripheral edge of the memory chip. Thus, the bonding apparatus in which the center of a bonding member can be heated to a temperature lower than that at the peripheral edge can be provided.
