Abstract :
A stacked three-dimension integrated circuit (3D-IC) of 28 nm chips was demonstrated. Key enabling technologies such as through silicon via (TSV) formation, wafer thinning, redistribution layer (RDL), micro bump and joint were developed for chip stacking and interconnect functions evaluation. The excellent performances of 3D-IC yield and reliability characteristics are key milestones in promising manufacturability of 3D-IC by silicon foundry technology.
