Substrates, structures within a scribe-line area of a substrate, and methods of forming a conductive line of a redistribution layer of a substrate and of forming a structure within a scribe-line area of the substrate
Abstract:
A substrate comprises a pair of immediately-adjacent integrated-circuit dies having scribe-line area there-between. At least one of the dies comprises insulting material above integrated circuitry. The insulating material has an opening therein that extends elevationally inward to an upper conductive node of integrated circuitry within the one die. The one die comprises a conductive line of an RDL above the insulating material. The RDL-conductive line extends elevationally inward into the opening and is directly electrically coupled to the upper conductive node. The insulating material has a minimum elevational thickness from an uppermost surface of the upper conductive node to an uppermost surface of the insulating material that is immediately-adjacent the insulating-material opening. Insulator material is above a conductive test pad in the scribe-line area. The insulator material has an opening therein that extends elevationally inward to an uppermost surface of the conductive test pad. The insulator material has a minimum elevational thickness from the conductive-test-pad uppermost surface to an uppermost surface of the insulator material that is immediately-adjacent the insulator-material opening and that is less than said minimum elevational thickness of the insulating material. Methods are disclosed.
