G01N 27/12
H01L 23/538
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes a back end of line (BEOL) stack on a substrate, the BEOL stack having a plurality of metal layers therein and a plurality of inter-level dielectric (ILD) layers therein. The plurality of metal layers includes a lowermost metal layer and an uppermost metal layer. A pair of metal guard structures proximate a perimeter of the BEOL stack concentrically surrounds the active circuitry. Each metal guard structure includes a continuous metal fill between the lowermost metal layer and the uppermost metal layer of the plurality of metal layers. A set of interdigitating conductive elements within one of the plurality of metal layers includes a first plurality of conductive elements electrically coupled to one of the pair of metal guard structures interdigitating with a second plurality of conductive elements electrically coupled to the other of the pair of metal guard structures.

US Patent:
20180315707, Nov 1, 2018
Filed:
Apr 26, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/498083
Inventors:
- Grand Cayman, KY
Kevin M. Boyd - Ballston Spa NY, US
Nicholas A. Polomoff - Irvine CA, US
Roderick A. Augur - Saratoga Springs NY, US
Jeannine M. Trewhella - Troy NY, US
International Classification:
H01L 23/528
H01L 23/522
H01L 23/00
Abstract:
A crack stop structure for an integrated circuit (IC) structure is disclosed. The structure can include: a first crack stop pillar laterally separated from a second crack stop pillar within an insulator region of the IC structure. The first crack stop pillar can include an overlapping via in contact with a top surface and at least one side surface of a first conductive element therebelow. The overlapping via of the first crack stop pillar may be in a given layer of the IC structure, and the second crack stop pillar may include a via in the given layer, the via extending to a different depth than the overlapping via. The via of the second crack stop pillar may be an overlapping via in contact with a top surface and at least one side surface of a second conductive element therebelow.

Maskless Selective Retention Of A Cap Upon A Conductor From A Nonconductive Capping Layer

View page
US Patent:
20180082965, Mar 22, 2018
Filed:
Nov 15, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/813342
Inventors:
- Armonk NY, US
Brittany L. Hedrick - Wappingers Falls NY, US
Nicholas A. Polomoff - White Plains NY, US
TaeHo Kim - Hwaseong, KR
Matthew E. Souter - Tustin CA, US
Assignee:
SUSS MicroTec Photonic Systems Inc. - Corona CA
International Classification:
H01L 23/00
Abstract:
A semiconductor structure includes an electrically conductive structure formed upon an uppermost organic layer of a semiconductor substrate. A capping layer is formed upon the uppermost organic layer covering the electrically conductive structure. A maskless selective removal lasering technique ejects portions of the capping layer while retaining the portion of the capping layer covering the electrically conductive structure. Portions of the capping layer are ejected from the uppermost organic layer by a shockwave as a result of the laser beam vaporizing the uppermost organic layer of the semiconductor substrate. Portions of the capping layer contacting the electrically conductive structure are retained by the conductive structure dissipating heat from the laser that would otherwise vaporize the uppermost organic layer of the semiconductor substrate.

Flip Chip Alignment Mark Exposing Method Enabling Wafer Level Underfill

View page
US Patent:
20160365281, Dec 15, 2016
Filed:
Jun 11, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/736608
Inventors:
- Armonk NY, US
Kevin S. Petrarca - Newburgh NY, US
Nicholas A. Polomoff - White Plains NY, US
Katsuyuki Sakuma - Fishkill NY, US
International Classification:
H01L 21/78
H01L 21/56
Abstract:
Alignment marks on a semiconductor device surface are exposed and exposed surfaces cleaned after an obscuring coating is applied over the surface and marks. The surface can be an attachment surface of the device and can include C4 solder bumps of a flip-chip type device and the coating can include a wafer level underfill coating that is substantially optically opaque. Laser ablation, such as with a UV laser, can remove the coating while minimizing heat transfer to the device.
