Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for improved heat dissipation of the stacked semiconductor dies by including metallic thermal pads between the dies in the stack. In one embodiment, the thermal pads may be in direct contact with the semiconductor dies. Heat dissipation of the semiconductor die stack can be improved by a relatively high thermal conductivity of the thermal pads that directly contact the adjacent silicon dies in the stack without the intervening layers of the low thermal conductivity materials (e.g., passivation materials). In some embodiments, the manufacturing yield of the stack can be improved by having generally coplanar top surfaces of the thermal pads and under-bump metallization (UBM) structures.

Claim (Index 20):
The semiconductor die of  claim 19  wherein the metallization structure and the thermal pad each have an upper surface facing away from the horizontal surface of the semiconductor substrate, and wherein the upper surfaces of the metallization structure and the thermal pad are generally coplanar.
