    Abstract: A method includes: in a semiconductor wafer having a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer adjoining the first semiconductor layer, forming a porous region extending from a front surface into the first semiconductor layer; and removing the porous region by an etching process, wherein a doping concentration of the second semiconductor layer is less than 10−2 times a doping concentration of the first semiconductor layer and/or a doping type of the second semiconductor layer is complementary to a doping type of the first semiconductor layer, wherein forming the porous region comprises bringing in contact a porosifying agent with the front surface of the first semiconductor layer and applying a voltage between the first semiconductor layer and a first electrode that is in contact with the porosifying agent, wherein applying the voltage comprises applying the voltage between the first electrode and an edge region of the first semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching a first surface of a semiconductor substrate from a first side using a first etching process to expose a second surface. The second surface includes a first plurality of features. The first plurality of features has an average height that is a first height. The second surface of the semiconductor substrate is etched from the first side using a second etching process to expose a third surface of the semiconductor substrate. The second etching process converts the first plurality of features into a second plurality of features. The second plurality of features has an average height that is a second height. The second height is less than the first height. A conductive layer is formed over the third surface of the semiconductor substrate using a physical deposition process.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: partially dicing a substrate wafer arrangement having a plurality of semiconductor chips, wherein the partial dicing forms trenches around the semiconductor chips on a front-side of the substrate wafer arrangement, the depth being greater than a target thickness of a semiconductor chip; filling the trenches with a polymer material to form a polymer structure; first thinning of the back-side to expose portions of the polymer structure; forming a conductive layer on the back-side of the substrate wafer arrangement so that the exposed portions of the polymer structure are covered; second thinning of the back-side to form insular islands of conductive material, the insular islands separated from each other by the polymer structure, each insular island corresponding to a respective one of the semiconductor chips; and dicing the substrate wafer arrangement along the polymer structure.
