    Abstract: A microelectronic device has a pillar connected to an external terminal by an intermetallic joint. Either the pillar or the external terminal, or both, include copper in direct contact with the intermetallic joint. The intermetallic joint includes at least 90 weight percent of at least one copper-tin intermetallic compound. The intermetallic joint is free of voids having a combined volume greater than 10 percent of a volume of the intermetallic joint; and free of a void having a volume greater than 5 percent of the volume of the intermetallic joint. The microelectronic device may be formed using solder which includes at least 93 weight percent tin, 0.5 weight percent to 5.0 weight percent silver, and 0.4 weight percent to 1.0 weight percent copper, to form a solder joint between the pillar and the external terminal, followed by thermal aging to convert the solder joint to the intermetallic joint.

    Abstract: In a described example a device includes: a first corner formed between a circuit side surface of a semiconductor die and a first sidewall formed with a first depth extending along a side of the semiconductor die from the circuit side surface; a ledge having a planar surface formed parallel to the circuit side surface of the semiconductor die formed at the first depth from the circuit side surface at the first corner, and being perpendicular to the first sidewall; a second corner formed by an intersection of the planar surface of the ledge and a scribe lane sidewall of the semiconductor die, forming a second sidewall perpendicular to the circuit side surface; and portions of the circuit side surface of the semiconductor die, the first corner, the first sidewall, and the planar surface of the ledge covered by a passivation layer.
