A process for manufacturing a strained semiconductor device envisages: providing a die of semiconductor material, in which elementary components of the semiconductor device have been integrated by means of initial front-end steps; and coupling, using the die-attach technique, the die to a support, at a coupling temperature. The aforesaid coupling step envisages selecting the value of the coupling temperature at a value higher than an operating temperature of use of the semiconductor device, and moreover selecting the material of the support so that it is different from the material of the die in order to determine, at the operating temperature, a coupling stress that is a function of the different values of the coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials of the die and of the support and of the temperature difference between the coupling temperature and the operating temperature. Furthermore, additional stress can be enhanced by means of different embodiments involving the support, such as ring or multi-layer frame.

An electronic component-embedded substrate includes a first insulation layer having a quadrangular cavity formed therein, and an electronic component arranged in the cavity.

A method is provided for fabricating an encapsulated emissive element. Beginning with a growth substrate, a plurality of emissive elements is formed. The growth substrate top surface is conformally coated with an encapsulation material. The encapsulation material may be photoresist, a polymer, a light reflective material, or a light absorbing material. The encapsulant is patterned to form fluidic assembly keys having a profile differing from the emissive element profiles. In one aspect, prior to separating the emissive elements from the handling substrate, a fluidic assembly keel or post is formed on each emissive element bottom surface. In one variation, the emissive elements have a horizontal profile. The fluidic assembly key has horizontal profile differing from the emissive element horizontal profile useful in selectively depositing different types of emissive elements during fluidic assembly. In another aspect, the emissive elements and fluidic assembly keys have differing vertical profiles useful in preventing detrapment.

MicroLED devices can be transferred in large numbers to form microLED displays using processes such as pick-and-place, thermal adhesion transfer, or fluidic transfer. A blanket solder layer can be applied to connect the bond pads of the microLED devices to the terminal pads of a support substrate. After heating, the solder layer can connect the bond pads with the terminal pads in vicinity of each other. The heated solder layer can correct misalignments of the microLED devices due to the transfer process.
