In described examples of an integrated circuit (IC) there is a substrate of semiconductor material having a first region with a first transistor formed therein and a second region with a second transistor formed therein. An isolation trench extends through the substrate and separates the first region of the substrate from the second region of the substrate. An interconnect region having layers of dielectric is disposed on a top surface of the substrate. A dielectric polymer is disposed in the isolation trench and in a layer over the backside surface of the substrate. An edge of the polymer layer is separated from the perimeter edge of the substrate by a space.

This disclosure is related to integrating optoelectronics microdevices into a system substrate for efficient and durable electrical bonding between two substrates at low temperature. 2D nanostructures and 3D scaffolds may create interlocking structures for improved bonding properties. Addition of nanoparticles into the structure creates high surface area for better conduction. Application of curing agents before or after alignment of micro devices and receiving substrates further assists with formation of strong bonds.

The present invention relates to an optoelectronic device comprising: (a) a substrate comprising at least one first electrode, which at least one first electrode comprises a first electrode material, and at least one second electrode, which at least one second electrode comprises a second electrode material; and (b) a photoactive material disposed on the substrate, which photoactive material is in contact with the at least one first electrode and the at least one second electrode, wherein the substrate comprises: a layer of the first electrode material; and, disposed on the layer of the first electrode material, a layer of an insulating material, which layer of an insulating material partially covers the layer of the first electrode material; and, disposed on the layer of the insulating material, the second electrode material, and wherein the photoactive material comprises a crystalline compound, which crystalline compound comprises: one or more first cations selected from metal or metalloid cations; one or more second cations selected from Cs.sup.+′RB.sup.+, K.sup.+, NH.sup.4 + and organic cations; and one or more halide or chalcogenide anions. A substrate comprising a first and second electrode and processes are also described.

A method of manufacturing a package chip, a package chip, a method of manufacturing a rewiring package chip, and a rewiring package chip are provided. Since a dielectric layer covering a surface of a chip and conductive surfaces of pads does not need to be partially removed by etching, air tightness of the package chip may be improved to prevent the pads from being oxidized by the air, and at the same time, an etching operation may not be performed to etch the pads. In this way, the pads may be prevented from being etched, and a short circuit, which is caused by the surface of the chip being corroded by the etching solution, may be prevented.

Wafer processing techniques, or methods for forming semiconductor rides, are disclosed for fabricating plated pillar dies having die-level electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield layers. In embodiments, the method includes depositing a metallic seed layer over a semiconductor wafer and contacting die pads thereon. An electroplating process is then performed to compile plated pillars on the metallic seed layer and across the semiconductor wafer. Following electroplating, selected regions of the metallic seed layer are removed to produce electrical isolation gaps around a first pillar type, while leaving intact portions of the metallic seed layer to yield a wafer-level EMI shield layer. The semiconductor wafer is separated into singulated plated pillar dies, each including a die-level EMI shield layer and plated pillars of the first pillar type electrically isolated from the EMI shield layer.

Provided here are: an electrically-conductive semiconductor substrate with which a semiconductor circuit is formed; an insulating film deposited on a major surface of the electrically-conductive semi-conductor substrate; and a bonding pad having fixing parts fixed onto the insulating film, side wall parts rising up from the fixing parts, and an electrode part connected to the side wall parts and disposed in parallel to the major surface; wherein the electrode part forms, together with the insulating film, a gap region therebetween, and portions of the electrode part where it is connected to the side wall parts are configured to have at least one of: a positional relationship in which they sandwich therebetween a central portion of the electrode part in its bonding region to be bonded to a bonding wire; and a positional relationship in which they surround the central portion.

A light-emitting device includes: a light-emitting element; a coating member that covers the light-emitting element; and two external connection electrodes exposed form a first surface of the coating member. Each of the external connection electrodes includes an electrode buried in the coating member; and a metal layer formed on the electrode. A surface of each of the metal layers is exposed from the first surface of the coating member. The first surface of the coating member includes a plurality of grooves between the external connection electrodes.

In a method for connecting components during production of power electronics modules or assemblies, surfaces of the components have a metallic surface layer upon supply, or are furnished therewith, wherein the layer has a surface that is smooth enough to allow direct bonding or is smoothed to obtain a surface that is smooth enough to allow direct bonding. The surface layers of the surfaces that are to be connected are then pressed against each other with a pressure of at least 5 MPa at elevated temperature, so that they are joined to each other, forming a single layer. The method enables simple, rapid connection of even relatively large contact surfaces, which satisfies the high requirements of power electronics modules.
