Semiconductor dies formed on a wafer may be picked from the wafer with little or no stress, thus preventing cracking and damage to the semiconductor dies. A die attach film (DAF) layer is laminated onto an inactive surface of the wafer and the DAF layer is cut in the outline of the dies. The inactive surface of the wafer may then be supported on a vacuum chuck without using a dicing tape, and dies transferred from the wafer using a pick and place robot.

An emission enhancement structure having at least one energy augmentation structure; and an energy converter capable of receiving energy from an energy source, converting the energy and emitting therefrom a light of a different energy than the received energy. The energy converter is disposed in a vicinity of the at least one energy augmentation structure such that the emitted light is emitted with an intensity larger than if the converter were remote from the at least one energy augmentation structure. Also described are various uses for the energy emitters, energy augmentation structures and energy collectors in a wide array of fields.

The invention is directed towards enhanced systems and methods for employing a pulsed photon (or EM energy) source, such as but not limited to a laser, to electrically couple, bond, and/or affix the electrical contacts of a semiconductor device to the electrical contacts of another semiconductor devices. Full or partial rows of LEDs are electrically coupled, bonded, and/or affixed to a backplane of a display device. The LEDs may be μLEDs. The pulsed photon source is employed to irradiate the LEDs with scanning photon pulses. The EM radiation is absorbed by either the surfaces, bulk, substrate, the electrical contacts of the LED, and/or electrical contacts of the backplane to generate thermal energy that induces the bonding between the electrical contacts of the LEDs' electrical contacts and backplane's electrical contacts. The temporal and spatial profiles of the photon pulses, as well as a pulsing frequency and a scanning frequency of the photon source, are selected to control for adverse thermal effects.

A semiconductor device is disclosed including one or more semiconductor dies mounted on substrate. Each semiconductor die may be formed with a ferromagnetic layer on a lower, inactive surface of the semiconductor die. The ferromagnetic layer pulls the semiconductor dies down against each other and the substrate during fabrication to prevent warping of the dies. The ferromagnetic layer also balances out a mismatch of coefficients of thermal expansion between layers of the dies, thus further preventing warping of the dies.
