Abstract:
The present invention related to CNT filled polymer composite system possessing a high thermal conductivity and high temperature stability so that it is a highly thermally conductive for use in 3D and 4D integration for joining device sub-laminate layers. The CNT/polymer composite also has a CTE close to that of Si, enabling a reduced wafer structural warping during high temperature processing cycling. The composition is tailored to be suitable for coating, curing and patterning by means conventionally known in the art.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of forming a 3D integration circuit system comprising the steps of:\n forming a top wafer and a bottom wafer into a stack by; bonding together said top wafer and said bottom wafer by means of a polymer composite adhesive provided between said top wafer and said bottom wafer, said polymer composite adhesive comprising a polymer base resin, said polymer being compatible with a metal contact pad and having a high thermal conductivity and a temperature stability of at least 350\u00b0 C., in admixture with a plurality of carbon nanotubes (CNT), wherein, in order achieve an optimum level of bond strength and thermal conductivity, a loading level of said CNT in said polymer ranges from about 30% by volume to about 80% by volume, a length scale of said CNTs is substantially equal to a final bonded adhesive layer thickness so as to maximize said CNT's straddling an adhesive bond line with said length of said CNT to form a bonding interface; etching a through silicon via (TSV) from said top wafer through said bonding interface to said bottom wafer after said top wafer and said bottom wafer are bonded to connect to said wafers.
