ABSTRACT:
In an improved method for manufacturing an integrated composite semiconductor device according to the present invention, a semiconductor-based stop-etch layer having holes therein at selected sites is disposed over the epoxy or other flowable hardener used in flip-chip bonding. The hardener underneath the openings in the stop-etch layer is subtantially removed via a dry etch applied therethrough, exposing desired structure, such as bonding pads, formerly covered by the hardener. The epoxy underneath the stop-etch layer is substantially preserved.
