Original Abstract Submitted

This document discloses techniques, apparatuses, and systems for semiconductor device circuitry formed from remote reservoirs. A semiconductor assembly includes a first semiconductor die with a layer of dielectric material having an opening. The first semiconductor die further includes a reservoir of conductive material having a first portion located adjacent to the opening, a second portion remote from the opening, and a third portion coupling the first portion and the second portion. A second semiconductor die includes a layer of dielectric material and a contact pad corresponding to the opening. The reservoir of conductive material is heated to volumetrically expand the second portion into the third portion, the third portion into the first portion, and the first portion through the opening to form an interconnect electrically coupling the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die at the contact pad. In this way, a connected semiconductor device may be assembled.
