Patent ID: 8742599

Claim:
A method of providing identifying marks to a semiconductor device die on a wafer, the method comprising: forming a bond pad region of the semiconductor device die; forming a first bond pad in the bond pad region; forming one or more bond pad features coupled to the first bond pad, wherein an aspect of the one or more bond pad features provides information associated with the semiconductor device die; forming one or more bond pads in the bond pad region, wherein the one or more bond pads comprise the first bond pad; selecting one or more of the one or more bond pads to comprise one or more of the bond pad features, wherein said selecting the one or more selected bond pads is performed to provide the information associated with the semiconductor device die; and selecting the aspects of the one or more bond pad features associated with each of the one or more selected bond pads, wherein said selecting the aspects of the one or more bond pad features is performed to provide the information associated with the semiconductor device die.
