Abstract:
Methods of forming supports for 3D structures on semiconductor structures comprise forming the supports from photodefinable materials by deposition, selective exposure and curing. Semiconductor dice including 3D structures having associated supports, and semiconductor devices are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of enhancing adhesion of a 3D structure to a substrate, the method comprising:\n applying a photodefinable material to a surface of a substrate, a portion of the photodefinable material surrounding and abutting a periphery of at least one 3D structure protruding from the surface; exposing the portion of photodefinable material surrounding and abutting the at least one 3D structure to a dose of radiant energy sufficient to penetrate substantially an entire thickness of the photodefinable material; while exposing the portion of photodefinable material surrounding and abutting the at least one 3D structure to the dose of radiant energy, preventing exposure of photodefinable material over a top of the at least one 3D structure and at least one other portion of the photodefinable material laterally spaced from the at least one 3D structure and surrounding the photodefinable material surrounding and abutting the 3D structure to the dose of radiant energy; and removing the at least one other portion of the photodefinable material that was prevented from exposure to the dose of radiant energy.
