The bottom surface of the dielectric structure 19 may contact the conductive structure 124 of the first electronic device 12. The top surface of the dielectric structure 19 may contact the conductive structure 144 of the second electronic device 14. The dielectric structure 19 may cover and contact the first connector 129 (e.g., the first bump 126 and the first barrier layer 127), the second connector 149 (e.g., the second bump 146 and the second barrier layer 147), and the solder structure 13. The dielectric structure 19 may be a continuous internal stress-relief structure. The dielectric structure 19 may function as a retainer. The dielectric structure 19 may have a loss tangent of less than about 0.01. The materials of the first connector 129 and the second connector 149 may have greater ductility than the material of the dielectric structure 19. The dielectric structure 19 may be a strain layer configured to reduce thermal stress on the assembly structure 1 during thermal cycling.
[0035] The dielectric structure 19 may extend beyond the side surface 123 of the first electronic device 12 and the side surface 143 of the second electronic device 14. The side surface 193 of the dielectric structure 19 may be a convex surface. The curvature of the side surface 133 of the solder structure 13 may be the same as or different from the curvature of the side surface 193 of the dielectric structure 19. The dielectric structure 19 may be a single-layer or monomeric structure filled with a cured organic material. The dielectric structure 19 may not have horizontal interfaces therein. In some embodiments, the dielectric structure 19 may have a glass transition temperature (Tg) in the range of 150°C to 250°C. The Mohs hardness of the dielectric structure 19 may be in the range of about 2.0 to about 4.0, for example, 3.0. The Young's modulus of the dielectric structure 19 may be in the range of about 1.5 GPa to about 2.0 GPa, for example, 1.8 GPa.
[0036] In contrast, dielectric structure 19 differs from molding compound (or underfill). Molding compound may contain epoxy resin with silica filler. Molding compound may have a glass transition temperature (Tg) in the range of 95°C to 115°C. Molding compound may have a Young's modulus in the range of about 7.0 GPa to 18.0 GPa.
[0037] In contrast, the dielectric structure 19 differs from conventional inorganic bonding materials such as SiO2, SiCN, and SiN.

SiN can have a Young's modulus of 290 GPa and a Mohs hardness of 7.0.
[0038] In contrast, the dielectric structure 19 differs from the dielectric structures of the conductive structures 124 and 144. For example, the dielectric structures of the conductive structures 124 and 144 may have a Young's modulus greater than 2.2 GPa. Furthermore, the dielectric structures of the conductive structures 124 and 144 are not used for bonding. The ratio of the Young's modulus of the dielectric structure 19 to the Young's modulus of the dielectric structures of the conductive structures 124 and 144 may be from 0.68 to 0.81.
[0039] During the manufacturing process, the dielectric structure 19 can be formed at a low temperature, for example, not exceeding 150°C. Therefore, warpage of the first electronic device 12 and the second electronic device 14 can be reduced. For example, the warpage of the first electronic device 12 and the second electronic device 14 can be less than 10 μm. Furthermore, not much IMC is formed in the solder structure 13. Therefore, the solder structure 13 is protected against cracking. The yield of the assembled structure 1 can be improved. The first electronic device 12 can be securely bonded to the second electronic device 14 through the cooperative operation of the dielectric structure 19 and the solder structure 13.

Figure 2 The assembly structure 1a is similar to Figure 1 The assembly structure 1, except for the side surface 133 of the solder structure 13 and the side surface 193 of the dielectric structure 19. Figure 2 The side surface 133 of the solder structure 13 of the assembly structure 1a may be a substantially flat surface and may be substantially aligned with the side surface of the first connector 129 and the side surface of the second connector 149. Figure 2The side surface 193 of the dielectric structure 19 of the assembly structure 1a may be a substantially flat surface and may be substantially aligned with the side surface 123 of the first electronic device 12 and the side surface 143 of the second electronic device 14. In some embodiments, Figure 2 The side surface 193 of the dielectric structure 19 in the assembly structure 1a may be a convex surface. The curvature of the side surface 133 of the solder structure 13 may be different from the curvature of the side surface 193 of the dielectric structure 19.

The first electronic device 12' may be similar to Figure 1 The first electronic device 12' may be a substrate or a semiconductor structure. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 12' may be a panel type (or panel structure) or a wafer type (or wafer structure).
[0043] The first electronic device 12' may have a top surface 121 and a bottom surface 122. The first electronic device 12' may include a main portion 120, a conductive structure 124, and a plurality of through holes 125. The main portion 120 may have a top surface 1201 and a bottom surface 1202. The through holes 125 may extend through the main portion 120. The conductive structure 124 may be disposed on the top surface 1201 of the main portion 120. In some embodiments, Figure 3 The conductive structure 124 can be with Figure 1 The conductive structure is the same as that of 124.
[0044] Then, a first bump 126 may be formed on or disposed on the conductive structure 124 of the first electronic device 12' by plating, and may contact the conductive structure 124 of the first electronic device 12'. The first bump 126 may be formed on or disposed on the top surface 121 of the first electronic device 12'. The first bump 126 may comprise copper (Cu). Then, a first barrier layer 127 may be formed on or disposed on the first bump 126 by plating. The first barrier layer 127 may comprise nickel (Ni). The first bump 126 and the first barrier layer 127 may together form the first connector 129. Then, a first resolderable material 128 may be formed on or disposed on the first barrier layer 127 on the first bump 126. The first resolderable material 128 may comprise a solder material, such as a Sn / Ag alloy.
[0045] The first dielectric layer 16 can then be coated onto the top surface 121 of the first electronic device 12' to cover the first connector 129 (e.g., the first bump 126 and the first barrier layer 127) and the top surface 1281 (e.g., the end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 on the first electronic device 12'. The amount of the first dielectric layer 16 can be determined by multiple threshold levels corresponding to multiple measured widths of the first reflowable material 128. The first dielectric layer 16 may contain organic materials such as polyimide (PI), benzocyclobutene (BCB), or polybenzoxazole (PBO). The first dielectric layer 16 may not contain fillers. The top surface 161 (e.g., the outer surface) of the first dielectric layer 16 may be higher than the top surface 1281 (e.g., the end surface) of the first reflowable material 128. The first dielectric layer 16 can then be pre-cured, for example, at a temperature of 140°C for 30 minutes, such that the first dielectric layer 16 is in a stage B state.
[0046] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in Figure 5 Show Figure 4A top view shows that a fly-cutting process can be performed on the top surface 161 of the first dielectric layer 16. Therefore, the upper portion of the first dielectric layer 16 and the upper portion of the first reflowable material 128 can be removed simultaneously using a diamond drill bit. After the fly-cutting process, the first dielectric layer 16 exposes the first reflowable material 128. That is, the top surface 1281 (e.g., end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 can be exposed by the top surface 161 (e.g., outer surface) of the first dielectric layer 16. In some embodiments, the top surface 1281 (e.g., end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 can be substantially aligned with the top surface 161 (e.g., outer surface) of the first dielectric layer 16. The total thickness variation (TTV) of the top surface 1281 (e.g., end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 and the top surface 161 (e.g., outer surface) of the first dielectric layer 16 can be less than 1 μm. In some embodiments, the removal rate of the first reflowable material 128 is higher than the removal rate of the first dielectric layer 16. Therefore, the top surface 1281 (e.g., the end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 may be dished. For example, the top surface 1281 (e.g., the end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 may be recessed about 100 nm from the top surface 161 (e.g., the outer surface) of the first dielectric layer 16. In some embodiments, the recess between the top surface 1281 (e.g., the end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 and the top surface 161 (e.g., the outer surface) of the first dielectric layer 16 may be a trench recess.
[0047] refer to Figure 5 After the fly-cut process, the top surface 1281 (e.g., the end surface) of the first reflowable material 128 may have a plurality of machining marks 1282 and may have a wavy profile. The machining marks 1282 may be curves spaced apart from each other. The machining marks 1282 may have equal curvature. The first reflowable material 128 may have a first thickness T1.
[0048] refer to Figure 4 Then, a single-cutting process can be performed to form a plurality of first electronic devices 12. In some embodiments, a single-cutting process may not have been performed.
[0049] refer to Figure 6 A second electronic device 14' may be provided. The second electronic device 14' may be similar to... Figure 1 The second electronic device 14' may be a substrate or a semiconductor structure. In some embodiments, the second electronic device 14' may be a panel type (or panel structure) or a wafer type (or wafer structure).

The second electronic device 14' may include a main portion 140, a conductive structure 144, and a plurality of through holes 145. The main portion 140 may have a top surface 1402 and a bottom surface 1401. The through holes 145 may extend through the main portion 140. The conductive structure 144 may be disposed on the bottom surface 1401 of the main portion 140. In some embodiments, Figure 6 The conductive structure 144 can be with Figure 1 The conductive structure is the same as that of 144.
[0051] Then, a second bump 146 may be formed on or disposed on the conductive structure 144 of the second electronic device 14' by plating, and may contact the conductive structure 144 of the second electronic device 14'. The second bump 146 may be formed on or disposed on the bottom surface 142 of the second electronic device 14'. The second bump 146 may comprise copper (Cu). Then, a second barrier layer 147 may be formed on or disposed on the second bump 146 by plating. The second barrier layer 147 may comprise nickel (Ni). The second bump 146 and the second barrier layer 147 may together form the second connector 149. Then, a second resolderable material 148 may be formed on or disposed on the second barrier layer 147 on the second bump 146. The second resolderable material 148 may comprise a solder material, such as a Sn / Ag alloy.
[0052] The second dielectric layer 18 can then be coated onto the bottom surface 142 of the second electronic device 14' to cover the second connector 149 (e.g., the second bump 146 and the second barrier layer 147) and the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., the end surface) of the second reflowable material 148 on the second electronic device 14'. The second dielectric layer 18 may contain organic materials such as polyimide (PI), benzocyclobutene (BCB), or polybenzoxazole (PBO). The second dielectric layer 18 may not contain fillers. The bottom surface 182 (e.g., the outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18 may be lower than the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., the end surface) of the second reflowable material 148. The second dielectric layer 18 can then be pre-cured, for example, at a temperature of 140°C for 30 minutes, such that the second dielectric layer 18 is in a stage B state.
[0053] refer to Figure 7A fly-cutting process can be performed on the bottom surface 182 of the second dielectric layer 18. Therefore, the lower portion of the second dielectric layer 18 and the lower portion of the second reflowable material 148 can be removed simultaneously using a diamond drill bit. After the fly-cutting process, the second dielectric layer 18 exposes the second reflowable material 148. That is, the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., end surface) of the second reflowable material 148 can be exposed by the bottom surface 182 (e.g., outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18. In some embodiments, the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., end surface) of the second reflowable material 148 can be substantially aligned with the bottom surface 182 (e.g., outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18. The total thickness variation (TTV) of the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., end surface) of the second reflowable material 148 and the bottom surface 182 (e.g., outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18 can be less than 1 μm. In some embodiments, the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., end surface) of the second resolderable material 148 may be recessed. For example, the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., end surface) of the second resolderable material 148 may be recessed about 100 nm from the bottom surface 182 (e.g., outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18.
[0054] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second dielectric layer 18 can be etched or thinned by descumming, allowing the second reflowable material 148 to protrude from the bottom surface 182 (e.g., the outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18. In some embodiments, descum gas 15 (comprising argon (Ar) and oxygen (O2)) can be applied to or supplied to the bottom surface 182 (e.g., the outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18 to remove only a portion of the second dielectric layer 18. The bottom surface 1482 (e.g., the end surface) of the second reflowable material 148 may protrude less than 1 μm from the bottom surface 182 (e.g., the outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18. The second reflowable material 148 may extend less than 1 μm beyond the bottom surface 182 (e.g., the outer surface) of the second dielectric layer 18. The second reflowable material 148 may have a second thickness T2. The second thickness T2 of the second reflowable material 148 may be substantially equal to the first thickness T1 of the first reflowable material 128. Alternatively, the second thickness T2 of the second reflowable material 148 may be less than or greater than the first thickness T1 of the first reflowable material 128.
[0055] Then, a single-cut process can be performed to form a plurality of second electronic devices 14. In some embodiments, a single-cut process may not have been performed.
[0056] refer to Figure 10 can Figure 4 Structure and Figure 9The structure is placed in a reducing atmosphere, such as a formic acid atmosphere, to remove the oxide layer on the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., end surface) of the second reflowable material 148 and the oxide layer on the top surface 1281 (e.g., end surface) of the first reflowable material 128. Formic acid is systematically named methanoic acid and is the simplest carboxylic acid, having the chemical formula HCOOH and the structure HC(=O)-OH.
[0057] refer to Figure 11 The second electronic device 14 and the first electronic device 12 can move toward each other. Therefore, the second reflowable material 148 can contact the first reflowable material 128. The second dielectric layer 18 can contact the first dielectric layer 16. Then, tack bonding can be performed between the second dielectric layer 18 and the first dielectric layer 16 in a reducing atmosphere at a temperature between 130°C and 170°C (e.g., at 150°C). Such a temperature can be the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the second dielectric layer 18 and the first dielectric layer 16. Therefore, the first dielectric layer 16 and the second dielectric layer 18 can be bonded together in a reducing atmosphere at a temperature between 130°C and 170°C (e.g., at 150°C) to jointly form the dielectric structure 19. It should be noted that the dielectric structure 19 is still in the B-stage state. Additionally, a portion of the first dielectric layer 16 (or dielectric structure 19) may extend into the space between the bottom surface 1482 (e.g., end surface) of the second reflowable material 148 and the top surface 1281 (e.g., end surface) of the first reflowable material 128.
[0058] Then, a reflow process can be performed for 15 minutes at a temperature between 240°C and 260°C to fuse the first reflowable material 128 and the second reflowable material 148 together to form a common structure. Figure 1 The solder structure 13 is shown. At the same time, the dielectric structure 19 can be partially cured.
[0059] Then, a full curing process can be performed at approximately 200°C for up to 2 hours to fully cure the dielectric structure 19, such as... Figure 1 As shown. Simultaneously, forming Figure 1 The assembly structure shown is 1.
[0060] In the method shown, the bonding between the first dielectric layer 16 and the second dielectric layer 18 can be formed at a temperature lower than that of the reflow process. For example, this bonding temperature may not exceed 150°C. Therefore, warpage of the first electronic device 12 and the second electronic device 14 can be reduced. For example, the warpage of the first electronic device 12 and the second electronic device 14 may be less than 10 μm. Furthermore, not much IMC is formed in the solder structure 13. Therefore, the solder structure 13 is protected against cracking. In addition, the method can improve the void problem during the bonding process. For example, the top surface 121 of the first electronic device 12 can be a void-free interface. Therefore, the yield of the assembled structure 1 can be improved.

It should be understood that the spatial descriptions used herein are for illustrative purposes only, and embodiments of the structures described herein can be arranged in space in any orientation or manner, provided that the advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure are not compromised by such arrangement.
[0162] As used herein, the terms “approximately,” “generally,” “roughly,” “about,” and “approximately” are used to describe and explain minor variations. When used in conjunction with an event or situation, these terms may refer to examples where the event or situation occurred precisely or very approximately. For example, when used in conjunction with a numerical value, these terms may refer to a range of variation less than or equal to ±10% of the stated value, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%. For example, if a first value is within a range of variation less than or equal to ±10% of a second value, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%, then the first value may be considered “generally” the same as or equal to the second value.
[0163] If the displacement between two surfaces is no greater than 5 µm, 2 µm, 1 µm, or 0.5 µm, then the two surfaces are considered coplanar or substantially coplanar. If the displacement between the highest and lowest points of a surface is no greater than 5 µm, 2 µm, 1 µm, or 0.5 µm, then the surface is considered substantially flat.
[0164] As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a / an” and “the” may contain a plural or multiple indicators.
[0165] As used herein, the terms “conductive,” “electrically conductive,” and “conductivity” refer to the ability to conduct electric current. Conductive materials are those that offer little or no resistance to the flow of electric current. A unit of measurement for conductivity is Siemens per meter (S / m).
