Abstract:
A process of fabricating a package for a semiconductor device comprising:providing a semiconductor wafer including a plurality of dice;forming an overcoat on a surface on a front side of the wafer;patterning the overcoat to expose a connection pad on a front side of the dice;attaching the wafer to a substrate;separating the wafer into multichip strips, each strip containing a plurality of dice;assembling the strips sandwich-like to form a stack, with an edge of each die in the stack being exposed;depositing at least a first metal layer on one side of the stack, the first metal layer wrapping around an edge of a die to form an electrical connection between a location on the front side of the die and a device terminal on a back side of the die;disassembling the stack into individual strips; andseparating a strip into individual dice.
