Disclosed herein is a semiconductor device including a conductive member that has a main surface facing in a thickness direction, a semiconductor element that has a plurality of pads facing the main surface, a plurality of electrodes that are individually formed with respect to the plurality of pads and protrude from the plurality of pads toward the main surface, and a bonding layer for electrically bonding the main surface to the plurality of electrodes. The bonding layer includes a first region having conductivity and a second region having electrical insulation. The first region includes a metal portion. At least a part of the second region includes a resin portion.

A semiconductor package including a first semiconductor chip, a second semiconductor chip disposed on the first semiconductor chip, and a third semiconductor chip disposed on the second semiconductor chip. A first pad is disposed on a top surface of the second semiconductor chip, and includes a first portion and a second portion protruding in a vertical direction from the first portion. A width of the first portion in a first horizontal direction is greater than a width of the second portion in the first horizontal direction. A second pad is disposed on a bottom surface of the third semiconductor chip facing the top surface of the second semiconductor chip, and a solder ball is disposed as surrounding a sidewall of the second portion of the first pad between the first pad and the second pad.

Provided is an electronic package, including a first substrate of a first conductive structure and a second substrate of a second conductive structure, where a first conductive layer, a bump body and a metal auxiliary layer of the first conductive structure are sequentially formed on the first substrate, and a metal pillar, a second conductive layer, a metal layer and a solder layer of the second conductive structure are sequentially formed on the second substrate, such that the solder layer is combined with the bump body and the metal auxiliary layer to stack the first substrate and the second substrate. Therefore, the arrangement of the bump body and the metal auxiliary layer allows complete reaction of the IMCs after reflowing the solder layer, and the volume of the conductive structures will not continue to shrink. As such, the problem of cracking of the conductive structures can be effectively averted.

An embodiment bump on trace (BOT) structure includes a contact element supported by an integrated circuit, an under bump metallurgy (UBM) feature electrically coupled to the contact element, a metal ladder bump mounted on the under bump metallurgy feature, the metal ladder bump having a first tapering profile, and a substrate trace mounted on a substrate, the substrate trace having a second tapering profile and coupled to the metal ladder bump through direct metal-to-metal bonding. An embodiment chip-to-chip structure may be fabricated in a similar fashion.

Semiconductor devices are provided. The semiconductor device includes a first dielectric layer, a bump, an etching stop layer and a spacer. The first dielectric layer is disposed over and exposes a conductive structure. The bump is partially disposed in the first dielectric layer to electrically connect the conductive structure. The etching stop layer is disposed over the first dielectric layer aside the bump. The spacer surrounds the bump and disposed between the etching stop layer and the bump.

A method of making an assembly can include juxtaposing a top surface of a first electrically conductive element at a first surface of a first substrate with a top surface of a second electrically conductive element at a major surface of a second substrate. One of: the top surface of the first conductive element can be recessed below the first surface, or the top surface of the second conductive element can be recessed below the major surface. Electrically conductive nanoparticles can be disposed between the top surfaces of the first and second conductive elements. The conductive nanoparticles can have long dimensions smaller than 100 nanometers. The method can also include elevating a temperature at least at interfaces of the juxtaposed first and second conductive elements to a joining temperature at which the conductive nanoparticles can cause metallurgical joints to form between the juxtaposed first and second conductive elements.

A material for Cu pillars is formed as cylindrical preforms in advance and connecting these cylindrical preforms to electrodes on a semiconductor chip to form Cu pillars. Due to this, it becomes possible to make the height/diameter ratio of the Cu pillars 2.0 or more. Since electroplating is not used, the time required for production of the Cu pillars is short and the productivity can be improved. Further, the height of the Cu pillars can be raised to 200 μm or more, so these are also preferable for moldunderfill. The components can be freely adjusted, so it is possible to easily design the alloy components to obtain highly reliable Cu pillars.

The embodiments described provide elongated bonded structures near edges of packaged structures free of solder wetting on sides of copper posts substantially facing the center of the packaged structures. Solder wetting occurs on other sides of copper posts of these bonded structures. The elongated bonded structures are arranged in different arrangements and reduce the chance of shorting between neighboring bonded structures. In addition, the elongated bonded structures improve the reliability performance.

A method to fabricate a land grid array wafer level chip scale package is described. A silicon die is provided. A dielectric layer is deposited on the silicon die. An opening is etched through the dielectric layer to a metal pad on the silicon die. At least one redistribution layer is formed over the dielectric layer and contacting the metal pad. At least one copper post is formed on the at least one redistribution layer and forms a land grid array. The wafer is sawed partially through on scribe lines to form cuts exposing sides of the silicon die. Thereafter, a molding compound is applied over the at least one redistribution layer and in the cuts wherein the molding compound encapsulates top and side surfaces of the silicon die.
