    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising a stilted pad structure. A wire underlies a semiconductor substrate on a frontside of the semiconductor substrate. Further, a trench isolation structure extends into the frontside of the semiconductor substrate. The stilted pad structure is inset into a backside of the semiconductor substrate that is opposite the frontside. The stilted pad structure comprises a pad body and a pad protrusion. The pad protrusion underlies the pad body and protrudes from the pad body, through a portion of the semiconductor substrate and the trench isolation structure, towards the wire. The pad body overlies the portion of the semiconductor substrate and is separated from the trench isolation structure by the portion of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated chip structure. The method may be performed by forming a plurality of interconnect layers within a first interconnect structure disposed over an upper surface of a first semiconductor substrate. An edge trimming process is performed to remove parts of the first interconnect structure and the first semiconductor substrate along a perimeter of the first semiconductor substrate. The edge trimming process results in the first semiconductor substrate having a recessed surface coupled to the upper surface by way of an interior sidewall disposed directly over the first semiconductor substrate. A dielectric protection layer is formed onto a sidewall of the first interconnect structure after performing the edge trimming process.

    摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a wafer edge trimming apparatus that includes a processing chamber defined by chamber housing. Within the processing chamber is a wafer chuck configured to hold onto a wafer structure. Further, a blade is arranged near an edge of the wafer chuck and configured to remove an edge potion of the wafer structure and to define a new sidewall of the wafer structure. A laser sensor apparatus is configured to direct a laser beam directed toward a top surface of the wafer chuck. The laser sensor apparatus is configured to measure a parameter of an analysis area of the wafer structure. Control circuitry is to the laser sensor apparatus and the blade. The control circuitry is configured to start a damage prevention process when the parameter deviates from a predetermined threshold value by at least a predetermined shift value.
