An electrical conductor structure comprises a substrate and an electrical conductor disposed on or in the substrate. The electrical conductor comprises a first layer and a second layer disposed on a side of the first layer opposite the substrate. The first layer comprises a first electrical conductor that forms a non-conductive layer on a surface of the first electrical conductor when exposed to air and the second layer comprising a second electrical conductor that does not form a non-conductive layer on a surface of the second electrical conductor when exposed to air. A component comprises a connection post that is electrically connected to the second layer and the electrical conductor. The first and second layers can be inorganic. The first layer can comprise a metal such as aluminum and the second layer can comprise an electrically conductive metal oxide such as indium tin oxide.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device structure includes forming a bond or joint between a first device and a second device. The first device comprises an integrated passive device (IPD) and a first contact pad disposed over the IPD. The second device comprises a second contact pad. The first contact pad has a first surface with first lateral extents. The second contact pad has a second surface with second lateral extents. The width of the second lateral extents is less than the width of the first lateral extents. The joint structure includes the first contact pad, the second contact pad, and a solder layer interposed therebetween. The solder layer has tapered sidewalls extending in a direction away from the first surface of the first contact pad to the second surface of the second contact pad. At least one of the first surface or the second surface is substantially planar.

Methods for die attachment of multichip and single components including flip chips may involve printing a sintering paste on a substrate or on the back side of a die. Printing may involve stencil printing, screen printing, or a dispensing process. Paste may be printed on the back side of an entire wafer prior to dicing, or on the back side of an individual die. Sintering films may also be fabricated and transferred to a wafer, die or substrate. A post-sintering step may increase throughput.

In an embodiment, a method includes: stacking a plurality of first dies to form a device stack; revealing testing pads of a topmost die of the device stack; testing the device stack using the testing pads of the topmost die; and after testing the device stack, forming bonding pads in the topmost die, the bonding pads being different from the testing pads.

A component includes a plurality of electrical connections on a process side opposed to a back side of the component. Each electrical connection includes an electrically conductive multi-layer connection post protruding from the process side. A printed structure includes a destination substrate and one or more components. The destination substrate has two or more electrical contacts and each connection post is in contact with, extends into, or extends through an electrical contact of the destination substrate to electrically connect the electrical contacts to the connection posts. The connection posts or electrical contacts are deformed. Two or more connection posts can be electrically connected to a common electrical contact.
