USE OF CONFORMAL COATING ELASTIC CUSHION TO REDUCE THROUGH SILICON VIAS (TSV) STRESS IN 3-DIMENSIONAL INTEGRATION

摘要

Integrated circuit assemblies, as well as methods for creating the same, are provided. The integrated circuit assembly includes a first chip and a second chip, including respective face surfaces, wherein the first chip and the second chip are bonded in a face-against-face contact configuration. The integrated circuit assembly includes a via disposed to pass through the first chip and the second chip. The via is surrounded by at least one material of the respective first chip and the second chip. A cushion layer encapsulating at least a portion of the via is formed between the via and the at least one material surrounding the via.
