Abstract

A method for fabricating integrated circuit (IC) dies and wafers having such dies, are disclosed herein that leverage temporary connection traces during wafer level testing of the functionality of the IC die. In one example, a wafer includes a plurality of IC dies. At least a first IC die of the plurality of IC dies includes a plurality of micro-bumps and a first temporary connection trace formed on an exterior surface of the die body. The plurality of micro-bumps includes at least a first micro-bump and a second micro-bump. The first temporary connection trace electrically couples the first micro-bump and the second micro-bump.
