A semiconductor package includes spread inhibiting structure to constrain the movement of viscous material during fabrication. In some embodiments, the spread inhibiting structure comprises a recess in an underside of a package lid overlying the die. According to other embodiments, the spread inhibiting structure comprises polymer disposed on the lid underside proximate to a side of the packaged die. According to still other embodiments, the spread inhibiting structure comprises a polymer disposed around the top of the die to serve as a dam and contain spreading. In some embodiments, the viscous material may be a Thermal Integration Material (TIM) in an uncured state, and the polymer may be the TIM in a cured state.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include method for sequentially mounting multiple semiconductor devices onto a substrate having a composite metal structure on both the semiconductor devices and the substrate for improved process tolerance and reduced device distances without thermal interference. The mounting process causes “selective” intermixing between the metal layers on the devices and the substrate and increases the melting point of the resulting alloy materials.

Die-substrate assemblies having sinter-bonded backside via structures, and methods for fabricating such die-substrate assemblies, are disclosed. In embodiments, the method includes obtaining an integrated circuit (IC) die having a backside over which a backmetal layer is formed and into which a plated backside via extends. The IC die is attached to an electrically-conductive substrate by: (i) applying sinter precursor material over the backmetal layer and into the plated backside via; (ii) positioning a frontside of the electrically-conductive substrate adjacent the plated backmetal layer and in contact with the sinter precursor material; and (iii) sintering the sinter precursor material to yield a sintered bond layer attaching and electrically coupling the IC die to the frontside of the electrically-conductive substrate through the backmetal layer and through the plated backside via. The sintered bond layer contacts and is metallurgically bonded to the backside via lining.
