FINE PITCH SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REINFORCING BOND PADS IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES

摘要

A reinforcing system and method of fabrication for a semiconductor integrated circuit bond pad comprises a first dielectric layer or stack disposed under the bond pad; at least one second dielectric layer or stack disposed under the first dielectric layer; and a reinforcing metal structure disposed into the second dielectric layer such that the patterns of the metal structure and the second dielectric layer comprise a uniformly flat interface towards the first dielectric layer. The patterns of the metal structure and the second dielectric layer comprise feature sizes and fine pitches used in the integrated circuit.
