3D chip integration has the potential to improve performance and reduce package size. Many different process flows have been proposed for manufacture of 3D devices; several of these processes incorporate polymeric materials as temporary and/or permanent adhesives. The process scheme illustrated in Figure 1 envisions the use of polyimides as both temporary and permanent adhesives to enable stacking of thinned wafers without the need to handle a thinned wafer in isolation.
