Abstract:
In order to prevent cracks from occurring at the corners of semiconductor dies after the semiconductor dies have been bonded to other substrates, an opening is formed adjacent to the corners of the semiconductor dies, and the openings are filled and overfilled with a buffer material that has physical properties that are between the physical properties of the semiconductor die and an underfill material that is placed adjacent to the buffer material.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of manufacturing a device, the method comprising:\n partially singulating a first wafer to form a first opening within the first wafer, the first wafer comprising a semiconductor substrate of a first material, the first material having a first property with a first value, wherein the first opening extends at least partially into both a first semiconductor device and a second semiconductor device; filling at least a portion of the first opening with a buffer material, the buffer material having the first property with a second value different from the first value; fully singulating the first wafer after the filling the first opening, wherein after the fully singulating the first wafer the buffer material remains within the first opening over the first semiconductor device; bonding the first semiconductor device to a substrate; and dispensing an underfill material between the first semiconductor device and the substrate, wherein the underfill material has the first property with a third value, the second value being between the first value and the third value.
