Embodiments include packages and methods for forming packages which include interposers having a substrate made of a dielectric material. The interposers may also include a redistribution structure over the substrate which includes metallization patterns which are stitched together in a patterning process which includes multiple lateral overlapping patterning exposures.

Integrated circuit structures having deep via structures, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having deep via structures, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a plurality of horizontally stacked nanowires. A gate structure is over the plurality of horizontally stacked nanowires. An epitaxial source or drain structure is at an end of the plurality of horizontally stacked nanowires. A conductive trench contact structure is vertically over the epitaxial source or drain structure. A conductive via is vertically beneath and extends into the conductive trench contact structure. The conductive via has a first width beneath the epitaxial source or drain structure less than a second width laterally adjacent to the epitaxial source or drain structure.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to forming a completed stack of layers. Forming the completed stack of layers may include forming a first stack of layers on a first substrate and forming a second stack of layers on a second substrate. The first stack of layers may be bonded to the second stack of layers. The first or second substrate may be removed. Prior to bonding the first stack of layers and the second stack of layer, one or more holes may be etched in the first stack of layers. After removing the second substrate, one or more holes may be etched in the second stack of layers, wherein each of the one or more holes in the second stack of layers extend into a corresponding hole in the one or more holes in the first stack of layers.

In a micro-device integration process, a donor substrate is provided on which to conduct the initial manufacturing and pixelation steps to define the micro devices, including functional, e.g. light emitting layers, sandwiched between top and bottom conductive layers. The microdevices are then transferred to a system substrate for finalizing and electronic control integration. The transfer may be facilitated by various means, including providing a continuous light emitting functional layer, breakable anchors on the donor substrates, temporary intermediate substrates enabling a thermal transfer technique, or temporary intermediate substrates with a breakable substrate bonding layer.

A carrier substrate to be used, when manufacturing a member for an electronic device on a surface of a substrate, by being bonded to the substrate, includes at least a first glass substrate. The first glass substrate has a compaction described below of 80 ppm or less. Compaction is a shrinkage in a case of subjecting the first glass substrate to a temperature raising from a room temperature at 100 C./hour and to a heat treatment at 600 C. for 80 minutes, and then to a cooling to the room temperature at 100 C./hour.

The present description concerns a process including the following steps: providing a plurality of assemblies, each including a donor substrate covered by a functional block successively including a first interconnection layer, a functional layer, and a second interconnection layer, the functional layer including one or more electronic components, the interconnection layers including a dielectric material in which are formed conductive elements, a first surface of the first interconnection layer in contact with the donor substrate and the free surface of the second interconnection layer being planarized so as to be compatible with a subsequent direct bonding, successively transferring, onto a receiver substrate the functional blocks, by direct bonding, to form a 3D assembly comprising a receiver substrate covered by a stack of two functional blocks.

An electronic device (e.g., a diode) is provided that includes a substrate and a patterned layer of superconducting material disposed over the substrate. The patterned layer forms a first electrode, a second electrode, and a loop coupling the first electrode with the second electrode by a first channel and a second channel. The first channel and the second channel have different minimum widths. For a range of current magnitudes, when a magnetic field is applied to the patterned layer of superconducting material, the conductance from the first electrode to the second electrode is greater than the conductance from the second electrode to the first electrode.
