Discussed generally herein are methods and devices including or providing a redistribution layer device without under ball metallization. A device can include a substrate, electrical interconnect circuitry in the substrate, redistribution layer (RDL) circuitry electrically connected to the electrical interconnect circuitry, a conductive bump electrically connected to the RDL circuitry, the conductive bump interfacing directly with the RDL circuitry, and a sheet molding material over the substrate.

Provided is a semiconductor package including: a first substrate having a first electrode pad and a first protective layer in which a cavity is formed; a first bump pad arranged in the cavity and connected to the first electrode pad; a second substrate facing the first substrate and having a second bump pad; and a bump structure in contact with the first bump pad and the second bump pad, wherein the first electrode pad has a trapezoidal shape, and the first bump pad has a flat upper surface and an inclined side surface extending along a side surface of the first electrode pad.

A fan-out semiconductor package includes: a first interconnection member having a through-hole; a semiconductor chip disposed in the through-hole and having an active surface having a connection pad disposed thereon and an inactive surface opposing the active surface; an encapsulant encapsulating at least portions of the first interconnection member and the inactive surface of the semiconductor chip; and a second interconnection member disposed on the first interconnection member and the active surface of the semiconductor chip, wherein the first interconnection member and the second interconnection member include, respectively, redistribution layers electrically connected to the connection pad, the semiconductor chip includes a passivation layer having an opening exposing at least a portion of the connection pad, the redistribution layer of the second interconnection member is connected to the connection pad through a via, and the via covers at least a portion of the passivation layer.

An interconnection technology may use molded solder to define solder balls. A mask layer may be patterned to form cavities and solder paste deposited in the cavities. Upon heating, solder balls are formed. The cavity is defined by spaced walls to keep the solder ball from bridging during a bonding process. In some embodiments, the solder bumps connected to the solder balls may have facing surfaces which are larger than the facing surfaces of the solder ball.

A semiconductor device has a temporary carrier. A semiconductor die is oriented with an active surface toward, and mounted to, the temporary carrier. An encapsulant is deposited with a first surface over the temporary carrier and a second surface, opposite the first surface, is deposited over a backside of the semiconductor die. The temporary carrier is removed. A portion of the encapsulant in a periphery of the semiconductor die is removed to form an opening in the first surface of the encapsulant. An interconnect structure is formed over the active surface of the semiconductor die and extends into the opening in the encapsulant layer. A via is formed and extends from the second surface of the encapsulant to the opening. A first bump is formed in the via and electrically connects to the interconnect structure.

A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die, a device layer, an insulator layer, a buffer layer, and connective terminals. The device layer is stacked over the semiconductor die. The device layer includes an edge coupler located at an edge of the semiconductor package and a waveguide connected to the edge coupler. The insulator layer is stacked over the device layer and includes a first dielectric material. The buffer layer is stacked over the insulator layer. The buffer layer includes a second dielectric material. The connective terminals are disposed on the buffer layer and reach the insulator layer through contact openings of the buffer layer.

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 width of an opening on which the passivation layer is not formed over the electrode pad layer is greater than the width of the bump. The flip chip can prevent a crack from being generated in the pad upon ultrasonic bonding.

An integrated circuit device may include a multi-material toothed bond pad including (a) an array of vertically-extending teeth formed from a first material, e.g., aluminum, and (b) a fill material, e.g., silver, at least partially filling voids between the array of teeth. The teeth may be formed by depositing and etching aluminum or other suitable material, and the fill material may be deposited over the array of teeth and extending down into the voids between the teeth, and etched to expose top surfaces of the teeth. The array of teeth may collectively define an abrasive structure. The multi-material toothed bond pad may be bonded to another bond pad, e.g., using an ultrasonic or thermosonic bonding process, during which the abrasive teeth may abrade, break, or remove unwanted native oxide layers formed on the respective bond pad surfaces, to thereby create a direct and/or eutectic bonding between the bond pads.

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, an insulating layer that is provided on the substrate and has multiple openings, a semiconductor chip that is provided on the substrate and has a first face, on which a semiconductor element is formed, and a second face, which opposes the first face and faces the substrate, multiple protrusions provided on the substrate in positions corresponding to the multiple openings of the insulating layer between the substrate and the second face, a height of the multiple protrusions in a direction vertical to the second face is greater than a height of the insulating layer in a direction vertical to the second face, and a bonding layer that is provided between the substrate and the second face to bond the substrate and the semiconductor chip, and has a thermal conductivity that is more than 1 W/(m.Math.K).
