A method of packing a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes placing a wafer on a carrier such that a backside of the wafer is facing up and a front side is facing down and non-permanently affixed to the surface of the carrier, performing lithography to mark area to be etched on the backside of the wafer, etching the marked areas from the backside of the wafer thus forming trenches that mark boundaries of individual devices on the wafer, applying a protective coating on the backside of the wafer thus filling the trenches and entire backside of the wafer with a protective compound and cutting the individual devices from the wafer.

A device is disclosed which includes at least one integrated circuit die, at least a portion of which is positioned in a body of encapsulant material, and at least one conductive via extending through the body of encapsulant material.

Embodiments relate generally to semiconductors and memory technology, and more particularly, to systems, integrated circuits, and methods to implement a memory architecture that includes local bit lines for accessing subsets of memory elements, such as memory elements based on third dimensional memory technology. In at least some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes a cross-point memory array formed above a logic layer. The cross-point memory array includes X-lines and Y-lines, of which at least one Y-line includes groups of Y-line portions. Each of the Y-line portions can be arranged in parallel with other Y-line portions within a group of the Y-line portions. Also included are memory elements disposed between a subset of the X-lines and the group of the Y-line portions. In some embodiments, a decoder is configured to select a Y-line portion from the group of Y-line portions to access a subset of the memory elements.

Some embodiments include an assembly having a CMOS tier. The CMOS tier includes a PMOS deck and an NMOS deck, with the decks being vertically offset relative to one another. The PMOS deck has p-channel transistors which are substantially identical to one another, and the NMOS deck has n-channel transistors which are substantially identical to one another. An insulative region is between the PMOS deck and the NMOS deck. The CMOS tier has one or more circuit components which include one or more of the n-channel transistors coupled with one or more of the p-channel transistors through one or more conductive interconnects extending through the insulative region. Some embodiments include methods of forming assemblies to comprise one or more CMOS tiers.

A power MOS device with low gate charge and a method for manufacturing the same. The device includes an M-shaped gate structure, which reduces the overlapped area between control gate electrode and split gate electrode. A low-k material is introduced to reduce dielectric constant of the isolation medium material. The combination of the M-shaped gate structure and low-k material can reduce parasitic capacitance Cgs of the device, thereby increasing switching speed and reducing switching losses.
