A method includes bonding a first plurality of device dies onto a wafer, wherein the wafer includes a second plurality of device dies, with each of the first plurality of device dies bonded to one of the second plurality of device dies. The wafer is then sawed to form a die stack, wherein the die stack includes a first device die from the first plurality of device dies and a second device die from the second plurality of device dies. The method further includes bonding the die stack over a package substrate.

A semiconductor structure includes: a substrate; a package attached to a first surface of the substrate, where the package includes: an interposer, where a first side of the interposer is bonded to the first surface of the substrate through first conductive bumps; dies attached to a second side of the interposer opposing the first side; and a molding material on the second side of the interposer around the dies; a plurality of thermal interface material (TIM) films on a first surface of the package distal from the substrate, where each of the TIM films is disposed directly over at least one respective die of the dies; and a heat-dissipation lid attached to the first surface of the substrate, where the package and the plurality of TIM films are disposed in an enclosed space between the heat-dissipation lid and the substrate, where the heat-dissipation lid contacts the plurality of TIM films.

A ring structure on a package substrate is divided into at least four different components, including a plurality of first pieces and a plurality of second pieces. By dividing the ring structure into at least four different components, the ring structure reduces flexibility of the package substrate, which thus reduces stress on a molding compound (e.g., in a range from approximately 1% to approximately 10%). As a result, molding cracking is reduced, which reduces defect rates and increases yield. Accordingly, raw materials, power, and processing resources are conserved that would otherwise be consumed with manufacturing additional packages when defect rates are higher.

A disclosed semiconductor structure may include an interposer, a first semiconductor die electrically coupled to the interposer, a packaging substrate electrically coupled to the interposer, and a capping layer covering one or more of a first surface of the first semiconductor die and a second surface of the packaging substrate. The capping layer may be formed over respective surfaces of each of the first semiconductor die and the packaging substrate. In certain embodiments, the capping layer may be formed only on the first surface of the first semiconductor die and not formed over the package substrate. In further embodiments, the semiconductor structure may include a second semiconductor die, such that the capping layer covers a surface of only one of the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die. The semiconductor structure may include a molding compound die frame that is partially or completely covered by the capping layer.

The present disclosure relates to a hermetic package capable of handling a high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch configuration. The disclosed hermetic package includes a metal base and multiple segments that are discrete from each other. Herein, a gap exists between every two adjacent ceramic wall segments and is sealed with a connecting material. The ceramic wall segments with the connecting material form a ring wall, where the gap between every two adjacent ceramic wall segments is located at a corner of the ring wall. The metal base is either surrounded by the ring wall or underneath the ring wall.
