Patent ID: 11916031
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A method of forming a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
forming a first dielectric layer over a first substrate;
forming first bond pads disposed within the first dielectric layer, the first bond pads comprising a first inner bond pad and a first outer bond pad, the first inner bond pad being interposed between the first outer bond pad and a centermost point of the first dielectric layer, the first inner bond pad being a first distance from the centermost point of the first dielectric layer, the first outer bond pad being a second distance from the centermost point of the first dielectric layer;
performing a pre-bonding process on the first substrate, the pre-bonding process comprising a thinning of the first substrate, wherein after performing the pre-bonding process:
the first inner bond pad is a third distance from the centermost point, the third distance being greater than the first distance; and
the first outer bond pad is a fourth distance from the centermost point, the fourth distance being greater than the second distance; and

bonding an integrated circuit die to the first bond pads, the integrated circuit die comprising:
a second dielectric layer; and
second bond pads disposed within the second dielectric layer.
