In a semiconductor device, a first outer edge of a conductive pattern is located between the outermost edge of a first dimple and the innermost edge of a second dimple in a cross-sectional view of the device. When thermal stress due to temperature changes in the semiconductor device is applied to the ceramic circuit board, the first and second dimples suppress deformation of the ceramic circuit board that is caused due to the temperature changes. As a result, cracks in the ceramic circuit board and separation of the metal plate and the conductive pattern are prevented.

Provided are a package structure and a method of forming the same. The package structure includes a first die, a second die group, an interposer, an underfill layer, a thermal interface material (TIM), and an adhesive pattern. The first die and the second die group are disposed side by side on the interposer. The underfill layer is disposed between the first die and the second die group. The adhesive pattern at least overlay the underfill layer between the first die and the second die group. The TIM has a bottom surface being in direct contact with the first die, the second die group, and the adhesive pattern. The adhesive pattern separates the underfill layer from the TIM.

A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor die having a metal region; a substrate having a metal region; and a soldered joint between the metal region of the semiconductor die and the metal region of the substrate. One or more intermetallic phases are present throughout the entire soldered joint, each of the one or more intermetallic phases formed from a solder preform diffused into the metal region of the semiconductor die and the metal region of the substrate. The soldered joint has the same length-to-width aspect ratio as the semiconductor die.
