Abstract: Semiconductor devices having measurement features and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a plurality of stacked semiconductor dies each having measurement features formed along an outer periphery of a surface thereof. One or more image capture devices can image the semiconductor device and a controller can detect the measurement features in imaging data received from the image capture devices. The controller can further determine the distance between two or more of the measurement features to estimate a bond line thickness between semiconductor dies in the stack.
