Abstract:
1. A method of forming a microelectronic assembly, comprising: removing material exposed at portions of a surface of a substrate to form a processed substrate having a plurality of thinned portions separated by integral supporting portions of the processed substrate, each of the integral supporting portions having a width and a first thickness extending along the entire width, wherein the first thickness is greater than a thickness of the thinned portions, at least some of the thinned portions each including a plurality of electrically conductive interconnects extending in a direction of the thicknesses of the thinned portions and exposed at the surface; and removing fully the integral supporting portions of the substrate to sever the substrate into a plurality of individual thinned portions, each individual thinned portion having a thickness less than the first thickness, at least some individual thinned portions including the interconnects.
