By defining trenches in saw lanes between active device die, additional resilient material may be placed therein. In an example embodiment, after the active device die are separated into individual product devices, the resulting product device has coverage on the front-side surface, back-side surface, and the four vertical faces of the encapsulated active device die. The front-side surface has exposed contact areas so that the product device may be attached to an end user's system circuit board. Further, the resilient coating protects the encapsulated active device die from damage during assembly.

Abstract: Integrated circuit dies within a semiconductor wafer are separated using an approach that may facilitate mitigation of warpage, cracking and other undesirable aspects. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a semiconductor wafer is provided with a plurality of integrated circuit dies and first and second opposing surfaces, and with the second surface of the wafer being ground. A first mold compound is applied to the ground second surface, and the integrated circuit dies are separated along saw lanes while using the first mold compound to hold the dies in place. The integrated circuit dies are encapsulated with the mold compounds, by applying the second mold compound to the first surface and along sidewalls of the integrated circuit dies.
