Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device may include a first semiconductor die. A passivation layer supports the first semiconductor die. The passivation layer may include a first via having a barrier layer and a first redistribution layer (RDL) conductive interconnect coupled to the first via through the barrier layer. The first via may couple the first semiconductor die to the first RDL conductive interconnect.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a first semiconductor die; and a passivation layer supporting the first semiconductor die, the passivation layer comprising a first via having a first barrier layer and a first redistribution layer (RDL) conductive interconnect having a second barrier layer, wherein the first RDL conductive interconnect is coupled to the first via and the first barrier layer through the second barrier layer, the first via coupling the first semiconductor die to the first RDL conductive interconnect. 2. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising: a second semiconductor die; and a second via having the first barrier layer and coupled to the first RDL conductive interconnect having the second barrier layer through the second barrier layer, the second via coupling the second semiconductor die to the first RDL conductive interconnect. 3. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising: a second via coupled to the first RDL conductive interconnect through a third barrier layer; and a second RDL conductive interconnect directly coupled to the second via. 4. The semiconductor device of claim 3 , further comprising a package interconnect layer directly coupled to the second RDL conductive interconnect. 5. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of a music player, a video player, an entertainment unit, a navigation device, a communications device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a fixed location data unit, and a computer. 6. A semiconductor device, comprising: a first semiconductor die; and a passivation layer supporting the first semiconductor die, the passivation layer comprising a first via having a first barrier layer, a second via having the first barrier layer and a means for interconnecting the first via, the first barrier layer, and the second via through a second barrier layer, the first via coupling the first semiconductor die to the interconnecting means. 7. The semiconductor device of claim 6 , further comprising a second semiconductor die coupled to the first interconnecting means by the second via. 8. The semiconductor device of claim 6 , further comprising: a package conductive interconnect; and means for directly interconnecting the package conductive interconnect and the second via. 9. The semiconductor device of claim 6 , further comprising additional vias and means for directly interconnecting the additional vias to each other but not through the second barrier layer. 10. The semiconductor device of claim 6 , the semiconductor device integrated into a circuit, the circuit incorporated into at least one of a music player, a video player, an entertainment unit, a navigation device, a communications device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a fixed location data unit, and a computer.
