Patent ID: 7262074

Claim:
A method of forming a semiconductor assembly, comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate having an active surface having bond pads exposed thereon and a back surface; providing a carrier substrate; attaching the carrier substrate to the semiconductor substrate using a plurality of spaced adhesive elements providing a standoff comprising a substantially open volume directly between a surface of the semiconductor substrate and an opposing surface of the carrier substrate extending generally parallel to the surface of the semiconductor substrate; forming wire bonds between the bond pads and the carrier substrate; introducing a volume of dielectric filler material into the substantially open volume and around portions of the wire bonds, leaving exposed other portions of the wire bonds; and curing the volume of dielectric filler material to form a dielectric structure extending between the surface of the semiconductor substrate and the surface of the carrier substrate and about the portions of the wire bonds, leaving the other portions of the wire bonds protruding therefrom.
