Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for providing thermal pathways from a substrate to a thermal bonding pad. The thermal pathways may be metal extensions of the thermal bonding pad that are disposed in channels formed in a backside passivation layer underneath the thermal bonding pad, and may be in direct contact with an underlying substrate. The thermal pathways may provide improved thermal dissipation from the substrate.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n forming a passivation layer on a wafer; etching a portion of the passivation layer to form etched trenches for the. pathways; and forming a bonding pad on the thermal pathways.
