System and method for removing scalloping and tapering effects in high aspect ratio through-silicon vias of wafers

Edoardo Charbon, Sandro Carrara, Simone Frasca, Rebecca Camilla Leghziel

A method for manufacturing vias in a silicon wafer, the silicon wafer having a crystal orientation, and having a plane that is perpendicular to a surface of the wafer, tilted by 35.26°, the method comprising the steps of providing a mask having ...

The Michelangelo step: removing scalloping and tapering effects in high aspect ratio through silicon vias

Edoardo Charbon, Sandro Carrara, Simone Frasca, Rebecca Camilla Leghziel, Benoît Bruno Pasquier

We present here, for the first time, a fabrication technique that allows manufacturing scallop free, non-tapered, high aspect ratio in through-silicon vias (TSVs) on silicon wafers. TSVs are among major technology players in modern high-volume manufacturin ...

Fabrication and Characterization of 1-D diffusing elements

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Roland Andreas Bitterli

Certain high power laser applications require thin homogeneous laser lines. In this paper we describe the concept, fabrication and characterization of a 1-D diffuser that generates such a line. The device is based on an array of concave cylinder lenses wit ...
