Methods for forming through-wafer interconnects, intermediate structures so formed, and devices and systems having at least one solder dam structure

A method for forming through-wafer interconnects (TWI) in a substrate of a thickness in excess of that of a semiconductor die such as a semiconductor wafer. Blind holes are formed from the active surface, sidewalls thereof passivated and coated with a solder-wetting material. A vent hole is then formed from the opposite surface (e.g., wafer back side) to intersect the blind hole. The blind hole is solder filled, followed by back thinning of the vent hole portion of the wafer to a final substrate thickness to expose the solder and solder-wetting material at both the active surface and the thinned back side. A metal layer such as nickel, having a glass transition temperature greater than that of the solder, may be plated to form a dam structure covering one or both ends of the TWI including the solder and solder-wetting material to prevent leakage of molten solder from the TWI during high temperature excursions. Intermediate structures of semiconductor devices, semiconductor devices and systems are also disclosed.

Method for pre-applied thermoplastic reinforcement of electronic components

A method for utilizing one or more pre-formed underfill compositions in the application of surface mount components, most commonly chip scale packages (CSP's), to substrates for use in electronic devices. The pre-formed underfill of the invention is applied directly to the top and / or sides of the CSP before the reflow process and softens during reflow to flow across the circuit / board gap. One underfill composition utilized for this method comprises a thermoplastic film system that provides a coating on the component that is smooth and non-tacky. The film may be applied selectively to parts of the CSP such that it overhangs the top of the component and upon reflow flows over the edge of the CSP to form a connection with the substrate. A second pre-applied underfill composition or solder paste may be applied as an adhesive to provide sufficient tack in order to hold the electronic assembly together during the assembly process and to serve as a flux to facilitate solder wetting.
