Semiconductor devices including electrically-isolated extensions and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. An electrically-isolated extension may be coupled to a corresponding connection pad that is attached to a surface of a device. The electrically-isolated extensions may extend at least partially through one or more layers at or near the surface and toward a substrate or an inner portion thereof.

Apparatus including integrated pads and methods of manufacturing the same

Semiconductor devices having interconnect structures with narrowed portions configured to mitigate thermomechanical stresses, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die and a pillar structure coupled to the semiconductor die. The pillar structure can include an end portion away from the semiconductor die, the end portion having a first cross-sectional area. The pillar structure can further include a narrowed portion between the end portion and the semiconductor die, the narrowed portion having a second cross-sectional area less than the first-cross-sectional area of the end portion. A bond material can be coupled to the end portion of the pillar structure.
