Patent ID: 8222079

Claim:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, said method comprising: forming a micro-chip comprising a thinned-wafer having one or more components fabricated thereon disposed between a carrier and a semiconductor chip; connecting said semiconductor chip to said carrier, said micro-chip being electrically connected to said semiconductor chip under a higher consumption macro of the semiconductor chip and including a thickness which is less than a thickness of said semiconductor chip; forming an interconnect between said semiconductor chip and said carrier for electrically connecting and bonding said semiconductor chip to said carrier; forming an interconnect between said micro-chip and said semiconductor chip for electrically connecting and bonding said micro-chip and said semiconductor chip; and forming an interconnect between said micro-chip and said carrier for electrically connecting and bonding said micro-chip and said carrier, wherein said micro-chip comprises a thinned micro-chip having a thickness of less than 20 microns.
