Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices that include interposers include the formation of conductive vias through a material layer on a recoverable substrate. A carrier substrate is bonded over the material layer, and the recoverable substrate is then separated from the material layer to recover the recoverable substrate. A detachable interface may be provided between the material layer and the recoverable substrate to facilitate the separation. Electrical contacts that communicate electrically with the conductive vias may be formed over the material layer on a side thereof opposite the carrier substrate. Semiconductor structures and devices are formed using such methods.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device including an interposer, comprising: forming a semiconductor-on-insulator (SeOI) structure comprising a base recoverable substrate, a layer of semiconductor material, and an insulating layer between the base recoverable substrate and the layer of semiconductor material; forming conductive vias extending through the layer of semiconductor material but not the insulating layer of the SeOI structure and forming a…
