On-die temperature control for semiconductor die assemblies and associated systems and methods

Abstract

On-die temperature control for semiconductor die assemblies, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In an embodiment, a semiconductor device assembly includes first and second semiconductor dies directly bonded to each other. The semiconductor dies each includes conductive pads and resistive heating components in a dielectric layer, where the resistive heating components are located proximate to the conductive pads to supply localized thermal energy to the conductive pads in response to electric current flowing through the resistive heating components. In some embodiments, the conductive pads of the first semiconductor die are directly bonded to the conductive pads of the second semiconductor die at a first temperature less than a second temperature for the thermal expansion of the conductive pads absent the localized thermal energy generated by the resistive heating components.
