BONDED DIE STRUCTURES WITH IMPROVED DIE POSITIONING AND METHODS FOR FORMING THE SAME
Bonded die structures and methods of fabricating bonded die structures including improved positioning of the dies used to form the structures. Improved positioning may be achieved by providing non-linear alignment features around the periphery of the dies that may facilitate accurate positioning of the dies with respect to one or more alignment marks on the target structures on which the dies are placed. The non-linear alignment features may include features formed in the peripheral edges of the dies, such as indent portions extending inwardly from the peripheral edges of the dies and/or outward bulge portions extending outwardly from the peripheral edges of the dies. Alternatively, or in addition, the non-linear alignment features may be features formed in a seal ring structure of the dies. The non-linear alignment features may improve the accuracy of the positioning of the dies relative to alignment mark(s) on the target structures using optical detection systems.

MASK-TO-DONOR ALIGNMENT FOR LASER-INDUCED FORWARD TRANSFER
A mask-to-donor alignment method for laser-induced forward transfer includes (a) directing a laser beam onto a mask to produce a masked beam including one or more separate sub-beams, each sub-beam being transmitted by a respective aperture of the mask, (b) viewing each sub-beam, as transmitted by a donor substrate carrying one or more devices, to obtain imagery indicating in each sub-beam a shadow of a corresponding one of the one or more devices, and (c) based on the imagery, adjusting position of the masked beam and the donor substrate, relative to each other, so as to align each device with respect to the corresponding sub-beam. This in-situ observation of the relative alignment between the donor substrate and the masked beam produces an improved alignment accuracy, as compared to the indirect fiducial-based alignment method. Alignment accuracies better than 0.2 m, and associated sub-1 m LIFT positioning accuracies, have been demonstrated.
