Processes and structures for IC fabrication

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 coats the component surfaces to facilitate the bonding of the bond pads. In another aspect, the present process coats the bond pads with shelled capsules to facilitate the bonding of the bond pads.
