    摘要: A substrate includes a plurality of semiconductor chips arranged in a grid pattern and laterally spaced from one another by channel regions. The substrate includes a vertical stack of a semiconductor layer and at least one dielectric material layer embedding metal interconnect structures. The at least one dielectric material layer are removed along the channel regions and around vertices of the grid pattern so that each semiconductor chip includes corner surfaces that are not parallel to lines of the grid pattern. The corner surfaces can include straight surfaces or convex surfaces. The semiconductor chips are diced and subsequently bonded to a packaging substrate employing an underfill material. The corner surfaces reduce mechanical stress applied to the metal interconnect layer during the bonding process and subsequent thermal cycling processes.

    摘要: A semiconductor wafer includes a nonstick region. During integrated circuit fabrication processes, the wafer may be inserted into an electrodeposition (e.g. plating, etc.) tool. The tool may contact the nonstick region to e.g. prevent leaks, prevent plating upon a shorting layer of the wafer, etc. When the wafer is removed the nonstick region has a propensity to not transfer to the tool, improving tool availability and reducing wafer scraps. The nonstick region may contain a nonstick seal formed from a liquid photoresist based material, an organic dielectric, etc.
