Abstract: Systems and methods for a semiconductor device having an edge-notched substrate are provided. The device generally includes a substrate having a front side, a backside having substrate contacts, and an inward notch at an edge of the substrate. The device includes a die having an active side attached to the front side of the substrate and positioned such that bond pads of the die are accessible from the backside of the substrate through the inward notch. The device includes wire bonds routed through the inward notch and electrically coupling the bond pads of the die to the substrate contacts. The device may further include a second die having an active side attached to the backside of the first die and positioned laterally offset from the first die such that the second bond pads are accessible by wire bonds around the edge of the first die and through the inward notch.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices having redistribution structures, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a semiconductor assembly comprises a die stack including a plurality of semiconductor dies, and a routing substrate mounted on the die stack. The routing substrate includes an upper surface having a redistribution structure. The semiconductor assembly also includes a plurality of electrical connectors coupling the redistribution structure to at least some of the semiconductor dies. The semiconductor assembly further includes a controller die mounted on the routing substrate. The controller die includes an active surface that faces the upper surface of the routing substrate and is electrically coupled to the redistribution structure, such that the routing substrate and the semiconductor dies are electrically coupled to the controller die via the redistribution structure.

Abstract: Semiconductor device assemblies are provided with a layer of thermal barrier material between a first semiconductor device (e.g., a logic die or other heat-generating device) and a second semiconductor device (e.g., a memory die or other device whose performance may be improved in a lower-temperature environment). The layer of thermal barrier material can reduce the conduction of the heat generated by the first semiconductor device towards the second semiconductor device. The assemblies can also include one or more thermally conductive structures disposed in the substrate under the first semiconductor device and configured to conduct the heat from the first semiconductor device out of the semiconductor device assembly.
