    Abstract: Methods of processing semiconductor wafers may involve, for example, encapsulating an active surface and each side surface of a wafer of semiconductor material, a plurality of semiconductor devices located on the active surface of the wafer, an exposed side surface of an adhesive material located on a back side surface of the wafer, and at least a portion of a side surface of a carrier substrate secured to the wafer by the adhesive material in an encapsulation material. At least a portion of the side surface of the adhesive material may be exposed by removing at least a portion of the encapsulation material. The carrier substrate may be detached from the wafer. Processing systems and in-process semiconductor wafers are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A bond pad with micro-protrusions for direct metallic bonding. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate, a through-silicon via (TSV) extending through the semiconductor substrate, and a copper pad electrically connected to the TSV and having a coupling side. The semiconductor device further includes a copper element that projects away from the coupling side of the copper pad. In another embodiment, a bonded semiconductor assembly comprises a first semiconductor substrate with a first TSV and a first copper pad electrically coupled to the first TSV, wherein the first copper pad has a first coupling side. The bonded semiconductor assembly further comprises a second semiconductor substrate, opposite to the first semiconductor substrate, the second semiconductor substrate comprising a second copper pad having a second coupling side. A plurality of copper connecting elements extend between the first and second coupling sides of the first and second copper pads.

    Abstract: Wafer-level methods of processing semiconductor devices may involve forming grooves partially through a molding material, the molding material located in streets and at least surrounding stacks of semiconductor dice located on a wafer. Wafer-level methods of preparing semiconductor devices may involve attaching a wafer to a carrier substrate and forming stacks of laterally spaced semiconductor dice on die locations of the wafer. Molding material may be disposed over the die stacks on a surface of the wafer to at least surround the stacks of semiconductor dice with the molding material. Grooves may be formed in the molding material by partially cutting through the molding material between at least some of the stacks of semiconductor dice along streets between the die stacks. The resulting wafer-level assembly may then, when exposed to elevated temperatures during, for example, debonding the wafer from a carrier, exhibit reduced propensity for warping.
