Abstract

Implementations of a semiconductor device may include a semiconductor die including a first largest planar surface, a second largest planar surface and a thickness between the first largest planar surface and the second largest planar surface; and one of a permanent die support structure, a temporary die support structure, or any combination thereof coupled to one of the first largest planar surface, the second largest planar surface, the thickness, or any combination thereof where the semiconductor die may be coupled with one of a substrate, a leadframe, an interposer, a package, a bonding surface, or a mounting surface. The thickness may be between 0.1 microns and 125 microns.

Claims (31)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor die comprising a first largest planar surface, a second largest planar surface and a thickness between the first largest planar surface and the second largest planar surface; and

a temporary die support structure coupled to one of the first largest planar surface or the second largest planar surface;

wherein the semiconductor die is coupled with one of a substrate, a leadframe, an interposer, a package, a bonding surface, or a mounting surface;

wherein a perimeter of the temporary die support structure is less than and within a perimeter of the semiconductor die; and

wherein the thickness is between 0.1 microns and 125 microns.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein a warpage of the semiconductor die is less than 200 microns.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the perimeter of the semiconductor die is rectangular and a size of the semiconductor die is at least 6 mm by 6 mm to 211 mm by 211 mm.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the perimeter of the semiconductor die comprises a closed shape and wherein the temporary die support structure comprises a perimeter comprising a closed shape.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the temporary die support structure comprises two or more layers.

6. A semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor die comprising a first largest planar surface, a second largest planar surface and a thickness between the first largest planar surface and the second largest planar surface; and

a temporary die support structure coupled to one of the first largest planar surface or the second largest planar surface;

wherein the semiconductor die is coupled with one of a substrate, a leadframe, an interposer, a package, a bonding surface, or a mounting surface; and

wherein an outer edge of the temporary die support structure is set in from an outer edge of the semiconductor die.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the thickness is between 0.1 microns and 125 microns.

8. The device of claim 6 , further comprising a second die support structure coupled to one of the first largest planar surface or the second largest planar surface.

9. The device of claim 6 , further comprising a second semiconductor die coupled to the temporary die support structure.

10. The device of claim 6 , wherein the interposer is coupled between the semiconductor die and the substrate.

11. The device of claim 6 , wherein the temporary die support structure comprises two or more layers.

12. A semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor die comprising a first largest planar surface, a second largest planar surface and a thickness between the first largest planar surface and the second largest planar surface; and

a temporary die support structure coupled to one of the first largest planar surface or the second largest planar surface;

wherein the semiconductor die is coupled with one of a substrate, a leadframe, an interposer, a package, a bonding surface, or a mounting surface; and

wherein a width of the temporary die support structure is less than a width of the semiconductor die.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein a warpage of the semiconductor die is less than 200 microns.

14. The device of claim 12 , wherein a perimeter of the semiconductor die is rectangular and a size of the semiconductor die is at least 6 mm by 6 mm to 211 mm by 211 mm.
