The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor package structure and a method of manufacturing the same. The semiconductor package structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The semiconductor substrate has a space extending from the second surface to the first surface and an insulation body is disposed in the space. The semiconductor package structure includes conductive posts in the insulation body.

A semiconductor device having an electrode type of the ball grid array (BGA) and a process of forming the electrode are disclosed. The electrode insulating film, a seed layer on the insulating film, a mound metal on the insulating film and an interconnection on the seed layer. The mound metal surrounds the seed layer without forming any gap therebetween. The interconnection, which is formed by electroless plating, is apart from the insulating film with the mound metal as an extension barrier for the plating.

In some examples, a package comprises a die and a redistribution layer coupled to the die. The redistribution layer comprises a metal layer, a brass layer abutting the metal layer, and a polymer layer abutting the brass layer.

A wafer-to-wafer bonding structure includes a first wafer including a first conductive pad in a first insulating layer and a first barrier layer surrounding a lower surface and side surfaces of the first conductive pad, a second wafer including a second conductive pad in a second insulating layer and a second barrier layer surrounding a lower surface and side surfaces of the second conductive pad, the second insulating layer being bonded to the first insulating layer, and at least a portion of an upper surface of the second conductive pad being partially or entirely bonded to at least a portion of an upper surface of the first conductive pad, and a third barrier layer between portions of the first and second wafers where the first and second conductive pads are not bonded to each other.

A flip chip includes a substrate, an electrode pad layer stacked over the substrate, a passivation layer stacked at both ends of the electrode pad layer, an under bump metallurgy (UBM) layer stacked over the electrode pad layer and the passivation layer, and a bump formed over the UBM layer.

The flip chip can prevent a crack from being generated in the pad upon ultrasonic bonding.

A method of fabricating an under-bump metallurgy (UBM) structure that is free of gold processing includes forming a titanium layer on top of a far back of line (FBEOL) of a semiconductor. A first copper layer is formed on top of the titanium layer. A photoresist (PR) layer is formed on top of the first copper layer between traces of the FBEOL to provide a cavity to the FBEOL traces. A top copper layer is formed on top of the first copper layer. A protective surface layer (PSL) is formed on top of the top copper layer.

A display panel has a plurality of pixel areas and a peripheral area surrounding the pixel areas, and includes a substrate, at least two planarization layers, a plurality of pads, a first dummy pattern, and a plurality of light-emitting devices. The substrate has a first substrate edge extending in a first direction. The at least two planarization layers are disposed on the substrate. The pads are disposed on the at least two planarization layers, and are located in the pixel areas. The pads include at least one first edge pad closest to the first substrate edge. The first dummy pattern is disposed on the at least two planarization layers, and extends in the peripheral area between the at least one first edge pad and the first substrate edge. The light-emitting devices are electrically connected to the pads.

A plasma-based ashing process for surface conditioning and material modification to improve bond pad metallurgical properties as well as semiconductor device performance. Residue materials generated in a removal process at a process layer having recessed features with Ni—Pd surfaces are ashed in a plasma reactor to reduce defect count and improve surface conditioning associated with bond pads of the semiconductor device.

A semiconductor package comprises a substrate, a pad, a first isolation layer, an interconnection layer, and a conductive post. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The pad has a first portion and a second portion on the first surface of the substrate. The first isolation layer is disposed on the first surface and covers the first portion of the pad, and the first isolation layer has a top surface. The interconnection layer is disposed on the second portion of the pad and has a top surface. The conductive post is disposed on the top surface of the first isolation layer and on the top surface of the interconnection layer. The top surface of the first isolation layer and the top surface of the interconnection layer are substantially coplanar.

A method for forming a direct hybrid bond and a device resulting from a direct hybrid bond including a first substrate having a first set of metallic bonding pads, preferably connected to a device or circuit, capped by a conductive barrier, and having a first non-metallic region adjacent to the metallic bonding pads on the first substrate, a second substrate having a second set of metallic bonding pads capped by a second conductive barrier, aligned with the first set of metallic bonding pads, preferably connected to a device or circuit, and having a second non-metallic region adjacent to the metallic bonding pads on the second substrate, and a contact-bonded interface between the first and second set of metallic bonding pads capped by conductive barriers formed by contact bonding of the first non-metallic region to the second non-metallic region.
