Semiconductor die assemblies having interconnect structures with redundant electrical connectors are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor die assembly includes a first semiconductor die, a second semiconductor die, and an interconnect structure between the first and the second semiconductor dies. The interconnect structure includes a first conductive film coupled to the first semiconductor die and a second conductive film coupled to the second semiconductor die. The interconnect structure further includes a plurality of redundant electrical connectors extending between the first and second conductive films and electrically coupled to one another via the first conductive film.

Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes directed to an interconnect joint that includes multiple core balls within a solder compound where the multiple core balls are substantially linearly aligned. The multiple core balls, which may include copper or be a polymer, couple with each other within the solder and form a substantially linear alignment during reflow. In embodiments, four or more core balls may be used to achieve a high aspect ratio interconnect joint with a tight pitch.

The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor chip that includes a substrate, a metal layer, and a number of component portions. Herein, the substrate has a substrate base and a number of protrusions protruding from a bottom surface of the substrate base. The substrate base and the protrusions are formed of a same material. Each of the protrusions has a same height. At least one via hole extends vertically through one protrusion and the substrate base. The metal layer selectively covers exposed surfaces at a backside of the substrate and fully covers inner surfaces of the at least one via hole. The component portions reside over a top surface of the substrate base, such that a certain one of the component portions is electrically coupled to a portion of the metal layer at the top of the at least one via hole.
