[0042] The first bump 290 can electrically connect the first pad 180 and the second pad 270. In embodiments, the first stack 100 and the second stack 200 can be electrically connected.

[0043] The first redundant pad 185 can be located on the second surface 100U of the first stack 100. The first redundant pad 185 can be spaced apart (e.g., in the first direction X) from the first pad 180. In embodiments, the first redundant pad 185 can not be in contact with the plurality of first TSVs 150. In embodiments, the first protective layer 130 can completely cover a bottom (e.g., a surface facing the first stack 100) surface of the first redundant pad 185.

[0044] The first redundant pad 185 can include, for example, Al, Cu, Ni, W, Pt, Au, and combinations thereof. In embodiments, the first redundant pad 185 can be at a same horizontal level as the first pad 180. The term “same horizontal level” as used herein means formed by the same manufacturing process (e.g., formed simultaneously with the same material).

[0045] The first redundant pad 185 can be electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of first pads 180. In embodiments, the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185 can be electrically connected through the first interconnect line 160. The first interconnect line 160 can extend along the second surface 100U of the first stack 100 (e.g., in the first direction X). In embodiments, the first interconnect line 160 can extend along a top surface of the first protective layer 130 to electrically connect the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185. In embodiments, the first interconnect line 160 can be a redistribution layer (RDL) on the second surface 100U of the first stack 100.

[0046] In embodiments, the first redundant pad 185 can be located on the edge region EA. The first redundant pad 185 on the edge region EA can be electrically connected to the first pad 180 on the edge region EA. In embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1C, the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185 can be arranged to be adjacent to each other (e.g., aligned along the first direction X) on the edge region EA. The first interconnect line 160 can extend (e.g., longitudinally) in the first direction X on the edge region EA to connect the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185. Figure 1

[0047] ​In embodiments, a width W2 of the first redundant pad 185 (e.g., in the first direction X) can be in a range from about 15 pm to about 30 pm. In embodiments, the width W2 of the first redundant pad 185 can be equal to a width W1 of the first pad 180. The term “equal to” as used herein includes the meaning of exactly equal as well as slight differences that can occur due to process margins, etc.

[0048] In embodiments, a distance D2 by which the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185 are spaced apart from each other can be in a range from about 3 pm to about 8 pm. Maintaining the distance D2 by which the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185 are spaced apart from each other at about 3 pm or more can help ensure that the first redundant pad 185 is not too close to the first TSV 150, thereby avoiding non-wetting failure of the bump to be described below. Maintaining the distance D2 by which the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185 are spaced apart from each other at about 8 pm or less can help prevent electrical connection failure between the first pad 180 and the first redundant pad 185.

[0049] In embodiments, the first interconnect line 160 can be shorter than or shorter than the first pad 180 and the second pad 270 (e.g., when measured in the third direction Z). In embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1C, the first interconnect line 160 can be shorter than the first pad 180 and the second pad 270 (e.g., when measured in the third direction Z). Figure 3 In embodiments, a height H1 of the first pad 180 and a height H2 of the first redundant pad 185 can be greater than a height H3 of the first interconnect line 160, based on or when measured in the third direction Z from the second surface 100U of the first stack 100.

[0050] In embodiments, the height H2 of the first redundant pad 185 can be equal to the height H1 of the first pad 180.

[0051] In embodiments, the first interconnect line 160 can be in contact (e.g., direct contact) with a side surface of the first pad 180 and a side surface of the first redundant pad 185.

[0052] The second redundant pad 275 can be located on the third surface 200L of the second stack 200. The second redundant pad 275 can include, for example, Al, Cu, Ni, W, Pt, Au, or a combination thereof. In embodiments, the second redundant pad 275 can be located at a same horizontal level as the second pad 270.

[0053] The second redundant pad 275 can be electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of second pads 270. In embodiments, the second pad 270 and the second redundant pad 275 can be electrically connected through the second semiconductor device layer 220. In embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1C, the second pad 270 and the second redundant pad 275 can be electrically connected through the second semiconductor device layer 220. Figure 3As shown in FIG. 2, the second pad 270 and the second redundant pad 275 can be electrically connected by the first lines 224a, 224b, and 224c of the second semiconductor device layer 220.

[0054] In an embodiment, the second pad 270 and the second redundant pad 275 can be electrically connected by the lowermost line 224c among the first lines 224a, 224b, and 224c. The lowermost line 224c in the second semiconductor device layer 220 can be the line (e.g., along the third direction Z) closest to the third surface 200L of the second stack 200 among the first lines 224a, 224b, and 224c. The second pad 270 and the second redundant pad 275 can each be connected to the lowermost line 224c of the second semiconductor device layer 220 to be electrically connected to each other. In an embodiment, a trench exposing the lowermost line 224c can be located in the first inter-line insulating film 222. The second pad 270 and the second redundant pad 275 can fill the trench.

[0055] In an embodiment, the height H5 of the second redundant pad 275 can be equal to the height H2 of the second pad 270 (e.g., when measured in the third direction Z).

[0056] The first redundant bump 195 can be located between the first redundant pad 185 and the second redundant pad 275. The first redundant bump 195 can have various shapes, such as a column structure, a ball structure, or a solder layer. In an embodiment, the first redundant bump 195 can be located at the same horizontal level as the first bump 290.

[0057] The first redundant bump 195 can electrically connect the first redundant pad 185 and the second redundant pad 275. In an embodiment, the first stack 100 and the second stack 200 can be electrically connected to each other. In an embodiment, the first semiconductor device layer 120 can be electrically connected to the second semiconductor device layer 220 or the second TSV 250 through the first TSV 150, the first pad 180, the first interconnection line 160, the first redundant pad 185, the first redundant bump 195, the second redundant pad 275, and the first lines 224a, 224b, and 224c.

[0058] In an embodiment, the first redundant bump 195 can be spaced apart from the first bump 290 (e.g., in the first direction X). In an embodiment, the first bump 290 and the first redundant bump 195 can not be in contact with each other.

[0059] In a semiconductor chip (e.g., the first stack 100 or the second stack 200) in which a TSV (e.g., the first TSV 150) is formed and a multi-chip semiconductor package in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are stacked, a pad (e.g., the first pad 180 and the second pad 270) connected to the TSV and a bump (e.g., the first bump 290) can interconnect the semiconductor chips. In a process of forming the bump on the pad, the TSV can serve as a heat transfer path, which can cause a failure of the bump. For example, the bump can be formed by a thermal compression bonding process to interconnect the pads of the semiconductor chips. The pad in contact with the TSV can have a low temperature in the thermal compression bonding process, thereby causing a non-wetting failure of the bump. Such a failure can be more serious in an edge region of the semiconductor chip.

[0060] A semiconductor package according to some embodiments can help to prevent the failure by including a first redundant pad 185 and a first redundant bump 195. In an implementation, the first redundant pad 185 can not be in contact (e.g., direct contact) with the first TSV 150, can prevent a non-wetting failure of the first redundant bump 195 due to the first TSV 150. In an implementation, the first redundant pad 185 can be electrically connected to the first pad 180 in contact with the first TSV 150, and can maintain the electrical connection between the first redundant pad 185 and the first TSV 150 even if a non-wetting failure occurs in the first bump 290 on the first pad 180. Accordingly, a semiconductor package with improved product reliability can be provided, for example, by preventing the failure of the first bump 290.

[0061] In a semiconductor package according to some embodiments, the first redundant pad 185 can be electrically connected to the first pad 180 on the edge region EA. In an implementation, a semiconductor package with improved product reliability can be provided by preventing a failure of the first bump 290 in the edge region EA.

[0062] In an implementation, a third stack 300 can be located on the second stack 200. The third stack 300 can include a fifth surface 300L and a sixth surface 300U opposite each other. The fifth surface 300L of the third stack 300 can face the fourth surface 200U of the second stack 200. In an implementation, the fifth surface 300L can be a bottom surface of the third stack 300, and the sixth surface 300U can be a top surface of the third stack 300.

[0063] In an embodiment, the third stack 300 can include a third semiconductor substrate 310 and a third semiconductor device layer 320. The third semiconductor substrate 310 can be similar to the first semiconductor substrate 110 or the second semiconductor substrate 210 described above, and the third semiconductor device layer 320 can be similar to the first semiconductor device layer 120 or the second semiconductor device layer 220 described above, and thus, a repeated detailed description thereof can be omitted in the following description.
