Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an integrated circuit (IC) die including a substrate, and at least one through substrate via (TSV) that extends through the substrate to a protruding integral tip that includes sidewalls and a distal end. The protruding integral tip has a tip height between 1 and 50 μm. A metal layer is on the bottom surface of the IC die, and the sidewalls and the distal end of the protruding integral tips. A semiconductor device can include an IC die that includes TSVs and a package substrate such as a lead-frame, where the IC die includes a metal layer and an electrically conductive die attach adhesive layer, such as a solder filled polymer wherein the solder is arranged in an electrically interconnected network, between the metal layer and the die pad of the lead-frame.
