Abstract
A microelectronic device is formed by thinning a substrate of the microelectronic device from a die attach surface of the substrate, and forming a copper-containing layer on the die attach surface of the substrate. A protective metal layer is formed on the copper-containing layer. Subsequently, the copper-containing layer is attached to a package member having a package die mount area. The protective metal layer may optionally be removed prior to attaching the copper-containing layer to the package member. Alternatively, the protective metal layer may be left on the copper-containing layer when the copper-containing layer is attached to the package member. A structure formed by the method is also disclosed.
