SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR FORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17460709 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR FORMING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for forming a semiconductor device structure. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method starts with a chip structure that includes a substrate and a wiring structure on the substrate.
  • A portion of the wiring structure adjacent to a hole is removed to widen the hole.
  • A first seed layer is formed over the wiring structure and in the hole.
  • The substrate is thinned from the other side until the first seed layer in the hole is exposed.
  • A second seed layer is formed over the exposed first seed layer and the other side of the substrate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Semiconductor device manufacturing
  • Integrated circuit fabrication

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for the formation of a semiconductor device structure with a widened hole in the wiring structure.
  • Enables the thinning of the substrate without damaging the first seed layer in the hole.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved flexibility in designing and manufacturing semiconductor devices.
  • Enhanced performance and functionality of integrated circuits.
  • Enables the creation of more compact and efficient semiconductor devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes providing a chip structure including a substrate and a wiring structure over a first surface of the substrate. The method includes removing a first portion of the wiring structure adjacent to the hole to widen a second portion of the hole in the wiring structure. The second portion has a first width increasing in a first direction away from the substrate. The method includes forming a first seed layer over the wiring structure and in the hole. The method includes thinning the substrate from a second surface of the substrate until the first seed layer in the hole is exposed. The method includes forming a second seed layer over the second surface of the substrate and the first seed layer in the hole.
