Abstract
Representative implementations provide techniques for processing integrated circuit (IC) dies and related devices, in preparation for stacking and bonding the devices. The disclosed techniques provide removal of processing residue from the device surfaces while protecting the underlying layers. One or more sacrificial layers may be applied to a surface of the device during processing to protect the underlying layers. Processing residue is attached to the sacrificial layers instead of the device, and can be removed with the sacrificial layers.
