Abstract:
A method of dicing a wafer includes positioning the wafer with its top side on a tape material. The wafer includes a plurality of die separated by scribe streets. A first pass being a first infrared (IR) laser beam is directed at the bottom side with a point of entry within the scribe streets. The first IR laser beam is focused with a focus point embedded within a thickness of the wafer, and has parameters selected to form an embedded crack line within the wafer. The embedded crack line does not reach the top side surface. A second pass being a second IR laser beam is directed at the bottom side having parameters selected to form a second crack line that that has a spacing relative to the embedded crack line, and the second IR laser beam causes the embedded crack line to be extended to the top side surface.
