Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A substrate-less composite power semiconductor device may be fabricated from a vertical conductive power semiconductor device wafer that includes a top metal layer located on a top surface of the wafer by a) forming solder bumps on top of the top metal layer; b) forming wafer level molding around the solder bumps such that the solder bumps are exposed through a top of the wafer level molding; c) grinding a back side of the device wafer to reduce a total thickness of a semiconductor material portion of the device wafer to a final thickness; and d) forming a back metal on a back surface of the wafer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for making a power semiconductor device, comprising: a) forming solder bumps on top of a top metal layer of a vertical conductive power semiconductor device wafer having the top metal layer located on a top surface of the wafer; b) forming a wafer level molding around the solder bumps, wherein the solder bumps extend above a top surface of the wafer level molding; c) grinding a back side of the device wafer to reduce a total thickness of a semic…
