“…Given that chip-stacking packages, combined with either silicon-based or glass/ceramic-based interposers, are promising frameworks [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] for three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) integrations [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], microbump (μ-bump) reliability must be enhanced. Processes, such as chip grinding, position adjustment and planarity of assembly, the formation of through-silicon via (TSV), and the composition and dimensions of μ-bumps, should be emphasized to improve the functionality of 3D-IC packages.…”
