Abstract
The present invention discloses methods and apparatuses for the separations of IC fabrication and assembling of separated IC components to form complete IC structures. In an embodiment, the present fabrication separation of an IC structure into multiple discrete components can take advantages of dedicated IC fabrication facilities and achieve more cost effective products. In another embodiment, the present chip assembling provides high density interconnect wires between bond pads, enabling cost-effective assembling of small chip components. In an aspect, the present process extrudes interconnect wires over a desired location of the bond pads, and then subsequently laser cuts a correct length of the interconnect wires.
Claims15
A method for interconnecting bond pads between integrated components, the method comprising:
- extruding an interconnect wire over a desired location of bond pads;
- laser cutting a correct length of the interconnect wire, the interconnect wire falling on the corresponding bond pads,
- wherein the interconnect wire is disposed between the two bond pads without being bonded to any bond pad.
A method for interconnecting bond pads between integrated components, the method comprising:
- preparing an interconnect wire, the length of the interconnect wire being approximately the distance between two bond pads;
- dropping the interconnect wire on the bond pads, wherein the two ends of the interconnect wire are close to the bond pads,
- wherein the interconnect wire is disposed between the two bond pads without being bonded to any bond pad.
