Non-cure and cure hybrid film-on-die for embedded controller die
A semiconductor assembly includes a first die and a second die. The semiconductor assembly also includes a film on die (FOD) layer configured to attach the first die to the second die. The FOD layer is disposed on a first surface of the first die. The FOD layer includes a first portion comprising a first die attach film (DAF) disposed on an inner region of the first surface. The FOD layer also includes a second portion that includes a second DAF disposed on a peripheral region of the first surface surrounding the inner region. The second DAF includes a different material than the first DAF.
