Semiconductor devices having silicon doping for laser splash protection, along with associated methods and systems, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a silicon layer and a circuitry layer with a plurality of semiconductor devices. A doped silicon region is formed on a front side of the silicon layer upon which the circuitry layer is deposited. The doped silicon region is positioned under the circuitry layer. The doped silicon region has a dopant concentration of at least 1015 cm−3.
