SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WITH REDISTRIBUTION STRUCTURES CONFIGURED FOR SWITCHABLE ROUTING
Semiconductor devices having redistribution structures, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor die including a first redistribution structure and a second semiconductor die including a second redistribution structure. The first and second semiconductor dies can be mounted on a package substrate such that the first and second redistribution structures are aligned with each other. In some embodiments, an interconnect structure can be positioned between the first and second semiconductor dies to electrically couple the first and second redistribution structures to each other. The first and second redistribution structures can be configured such that signal routing between the first and second semiconductor dies can be altered based on the location of the interconnect structure.

Semiconductor device assembly including a chip carrier, semiconductor wafer and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device
A semiconductor device includes a chip carrier and a semiconductor die with a semiconductor portion and a conductive structure. A soldered layer mechanically and electrically connects the chip carrier and the conductive structure at a soldering side of the semiconductor die. At the soldering side an outermost surface portion along an edge of the semiconductor die has a greater distance to the chip carrier than a central surface portion. The conductive structure covers the central surface portion and at least a section of an intermediate surface portion tilted to the central surface portion. Solder material is effectively prevented from coating such semiconductor surfaces that are prone to damages and solder-induced contamination is significantly reduced.

METHODS OF FORMING MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES, AND RELATED MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
A method of forming a microelectronic device comprises forming a microelectronic device structure comprising a base structure, a doped semiconductive structure comprising a first portion overlying the base structure and second portions vertically extending from the first portion and into the base structure, a stack structure overlying the doped semiconductive structure, cell pillar structures vertically extending through the stack structure and to the doped semiconductive structure, and digit line structures vertically overlying the stack structure. An additional microelectronic device structure comprising control logic devices is formed. The microelectronic device structure is attached to the additional microelectronic device structure to form a microelectronic device structure assembly. The carrier structure and the second portions of the doped semiconductive structure are removed. The first portion of the doped semiconductive structure is then patterned to form at least one source structure coupled to the cell pillar structures. Devices and systems are also described.

METHODS FOR FORMING THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEMORY DEVICES
Embodiments of 3D memory devices and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In an example, a method for forming a 3D memory device is disclosed. A sacrificial layer on a substrate, a P-type doped semiconductor layer having an N-well on the sacrificial layer, and a dielectric stack on the P-type doped semiconductor layer are subsequently formed. A channel structure extending vertically through the dielectric stack and the P-type doped semiconductor layer is formed. The dielectric stack is replaced with a memory stack, such that the channel structure extends vertically through the memory stack and the P-type doped semiconductor layer. The substrate and the sacrificial layer are removed to expose an end of the channel structure. Part of the channel structure abutting the P-type doped semiconductor layer is replaced with a semiconductor plug.
