    Abstract: Some examples described herein relate to protecting an integrated circuit (IC) structure from imaging or access. In an example, an IC structure includes a semiconductor substrate, an electromagnetic radiation blocking layer, and a support substrate. The semiconductor substrate has a circuit disposed on a front side of the semiconductor substrate. The electromagnetic radiation blocking layer is disposed on a backside of the semiconductor substrate opposite from the front side of the semiconductor substrate. The support substrate is bonded to the semiconductor substrate. The electromagnetic radiation blocking layer is disposed between the semiconductor substrate and the support substrate.

    Abstract: Examples described herein provide techniques for multi-die device structures having improved gap uniformity between neighboring dies. In some examples, a first die and a second die are attached to an interposer. A first gap is defined by and between the first die and the second die. At least one of the first die or the second die is etched at the first gap. The etching defines a second gap defined by and between the first die and the second die. The first die, the second die, and the interposer are encapsulated with an encapsulant. The encapsulant is disposed in the second gap.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) comprises routing circuitry including a plurality of signal line segments in routing layers of the IC, and a plurality of micro-bump contacts coupled to the routing circuitry. The IC includes a plurality of test circuits coupled to respective subsets of the plurality of signal line segments. Each test circuit is configured to connect micro-bump contacts in the respective subset to form first and second sets of daisy chains. Each test circuit is configured to test the first and second sets of daisy chains for open circuits and test for short circuits between the first and second sets of daisy chains. Each test circuit is configured to determine the locations of detected open circuits and determine the locations of detected short circuits.

    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) dies and method for manufacturing the same are described herein that mitigate pattern loading effects during manufacture. In one example, the IC includes a die body having a first circuit block separated from an adjacent second circuit block by a buffer zone. The first and second circuit blocks have first and second transistors that are at least partially fabricated from a gate metal layer and disposed immediately adjacent the buffer zone. A dummy structure is formed in the buffer zone and is also at least partially fabricated from the gate metal layer. An amount of gate metal layer material in the dummy structure is selected to mitigate differences in the amount of gate metal layer material in regions of first and second circuit blocks that neighbor each other across the buffer zone.
