Wafer-interposer assembly
First Claim
1. A wafer-interposer assembly comprising:
- a semiconductor wafer including a plurality of semiconductor die, each semiconductor die having a plurality of first electrical contact pads;
an interposer electrically connected and mechanically secured to the semiconductor wafer, the interposer including a plurality of second electrical contact pads respectively electrically connected and mechanically secured to at least some of the first electrical contact pads via soldered connections such that the interposer and the semiconductor wafer are operable to be singulated into a plurality of chip assemblies, each chip assembly comprising a semiconductor die and a portion of the interposer electrically connected and mechanically secured to one another via soldered connections; and
a communication interface integrally associated with the interposer and electrically connected to at least some of the second electrical contact pads.

Abstract
A wafer-interposer assembly (10) includes a semiconductor wafer (12) having a plurality of semiconductor die (14) that have a plurality of first electrical contact pads (16). An interposer (22) is connected to the semiconductor wafer (12) such that a plurality of second electrical contact pads (26) associated with the interposer (22) are respectively connected to at least some of the first electrical contact pads (16) via conductive attachment elements (20). A communication interface (28) is integrally associated with the interposer (22) and electrically connected to at least some of the plurality of second electrical contact pads (26). The interposer (22) and the semiconductor wafer (12) are operable to be singulated into a plurality of chip assemblies.
