A heat spreading material is integrated into a composite die structure including a first IC die having a first dielectric material and a first electrical interconnect structure, and a second IC die having a second dielectric material and a second electrical interconnect structure. The composite die structure may include a composite electrical interconnect structure comprising the first interconnect structure in direct contact with the second interconnect structure at a bond interface. The heat spreading material may be within at least a portion of a dielectric area through which the bond interface extends. The heat spreading material may be located within one or more dielectric materials surrounding the composite interconnect structure, and direct a flow of heat generated by one or more of the first and second IC dies.

A semiconductor device includes a vapor chamber lid for high power applications such as chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) applications using high performance processors (e.g., graphics processing unit (GPU)) and methods of manufacturing the same. The vapor chamber lid provides a thermal solution which enhances the thermal performance of a package with multiple chips. The vapor chamber lid improves hot spot dissipation in high performance chips, for example, at the three-dimensional (3D-IC) packaging level.

A redistribution layer for an integrated circuit is made by forming a conductive interconnection layer; forming a conductive body in electrical contract with the interconnection layer; and covering the conductive body with a first coating layer having a thickness less than 100 nm. The first coating layer is configured to provide a protection against oxidation and/or corrosion of the conductive body. To carry out an electrical test of the integrated circuit, a testing probe locally perforates the first coating layer until the conductive body is electrically contacted by the testing probe.
