Semiconductor Devices and Methods of Manufacture - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17707481 titled 'Semiconductor Devices and Methods of Manufacture
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for semiconductor devices and manufacturing methods. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The patent application describes a process for manufacturing semiconductor devices.
- A first passivation layer is deposited over a top redistribution structure, which helps protect and insulate the device.
- A second passivation layer is then deposited over the first passivation layer.
- A first opening is formed through the second passivation layer, creating a pathway for further processing.
- The first opening is reshaped into a second opening, likely to optimize the structure for subsequent steps.
- A third opening is formed through the first passivation layer, creating another pathway for processing.
- The second opening and the third opening are filled with a conductive material, which may enhance the electrical performance of the device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be applied in the manufacturing of various semiconductor devices, such as integrated circuits, microprocessors, and memory chips.
- It can be used in the production of electronic devices like smartphones, computers, and other consumer electronics.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The deposition of passivation layers and the formation of openings are crucial steps in semiconductor device manufacturing. This technology provides a method for efficiently and accurately performing these steps.
- The reshaping of the first opening into a second opening allows for optimization of the device structure, potentially improving its performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- The use of passivation layers helps protect the device from external factors like moisture, dust, and physical damage.
- The deposition of a conductive material in the openings can enhance the electrical connectivity and performance of the device.
- The method described in the patent application provides a more efficient and precise way of manufacturing semiconductor devices, potentially reducing production costs and improving overall device quality.
