Abstract
A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes curing a shape memory polymer in a first shape. The shape memory polymer is coupled to a conductive layer. The method further includes folding the shape memory polymer from the first shape into a second shape. The method also includes bonding a semiconductor wafer to the conductive layer while the shape memory polymer is in the second shape. The semiconductor wafer has first and second dies. The semiconductor wafer is then singulated to separate the first die from the second die. The method further includes expanding the shape memory polymer to its first shape and singulating the shape memory polymer to separate the first and second dies.
