A method and apparatus are described for cleaving a relatively thin semiconductor wafer for inspecting a target feature on a workface thereof by: producing, on a first lateral face of the semiconductor wafer, laterally of the workface on one side of the target feature, an indentation in alignment with the target feature; and inducing, e.g., by impact, in a second lateral face of the semiconductor wafer, laterally of the workface on the opposite side of the target feature, a shock wave substantially in alignment with the target feature and the indentation on the first lateral face, to split the semiconductor wafer along a cleavage plane essentially coinciding with the target feature and the indentation.

L'invention permet le clivage d'une plaquette de silicium possédant au moins un méplat usiné sur sa circonférence et orienté à 90° par rapport aux lignes de clivage de la plaquette. Le procédé consiste à : - positionner la plaquette (2) sur un support (4) par rapport à un outil de contrainte (14) dans une position déterminée, - fixer la plaquette (2) dans cette position, - cliver la plaquette (2) par action contrôlée de l'outil, grâce aux contraintes de clivage permettant la rupture instantanée de la plaquette (2). Le dispositif de clivage comporte également un dispositif de visée (20) mobile en translation de même que l'outil de contrainte (14). Application aux plaquettes de silicium utilisées en tant que supports pour circuits imprimés.

[Object] To provide a scribing apparatus with which fine adjustment with a low load is possible, thin films on the solar cell substrate can be shaved off with precision, thin films can be prevented from peeling irregularly, and straight and precise scribe lines can be created. [Means for Achieving Object] A scribing apparatus for thin film solar cells with which the blade of a trench creating tool 4 that is attached to the scribe head 1 is pressed against the surface of a solar cell substrate along a line along which the integrated thin film solar cell substrate W is to be scribed when the trench creating tool 4 is moved over the solar cell substrate W, so that a trench is created in the thin film formed on the surface of the solar cell substrate W, comprising: a tool holder 5 that is attached to the scribe head 1 in such a manner as to be movable upward and downward and holds the trench creating tool 4; an air cylinder 6 for pressuring the tool holder 5 against the surface of the solar cell substrate W; and a spring 7 for pressuring the tool holder 5 upward.

A brittle material substrate cutting method and cutting apparatus are provided, which prevent cut faces of a brittle material substrate from contacting each other after the cutting in a break step of continuously cutting the brittle material substrate, so that a damage or contamination on the brittle material substrate due to the contact can be prevented. A brittle material substrate cutting apparatus includes: a cutting section ( 112, 122 ) for applying a pressing force in a vicinity of a scribe line S formed on a substrate G and cutting the pressed portion of the substrate G; and a holding section moving parallel to the scribe line S while holding the cutting section. The brittle material substrate cutting apparatus continuously cuts the substrate G along the scribe line S. The brittle material substrate cutting apparatus further includes: a cut-face separating section ( 113, 123 ), provided in the holding section, for holding and pressing at least one part of cut substrate portions of the substrate G, wherein the cut substrate portions are generated as a result of the cutting and they oppose each other, and moving cut faces of the cut substrate portions approximately parallel to a main face of the substrate G and in directions to separate the cut faces from each other.

The invention concerns a device for automatic high-precision cutting of a material layer (20a) which is integral with a source substrate (20b) via a weakened zone (200c), the source substrate and the layer to be cut forming together an assembly to be cut (20), the device comprising cutting means (101, 102) as well as means for retaining (100a, 100b) the assembly to be cut. The invention is characterized in that the retaining means are designed for controlled displacement so as to accompany actively the divergence and/or the deformation of each part of the assembly to be cut, and to rectify said divergence and/or said deformation. The invention also concerns a corresponding automatic cutting method.

Un procédé et un appareil permettent de cliver une tranche relativement mince de semi-conducteurs afin d'inspecter une caractéristique souhaitée sur sa surface active. Sur la première pièce latérale de la tranche, sur le chant de la surface active, d'un côté de la caractéristique souhaitée, on produit une indentation alignée avec ladite caractéristique; sur l'autre face latérale de la tranche, sur le chant de la tranche situé de l'autre côté de la caractéristique souhaitée, on induit, par un impact par exemple, une onde de choc pour scinder la tranche le long d'un plan de clivage s'alignant sensiblement avec la caractéristique souhaitée et l'indentation.
摘要:
Apparatus for the automatic separation, along predetermined bending fracture lines, in basic ceramic platelets of hybrid electronic circuits, which apparatus comprises a support plate, provided with grooves on its lower face extending into close proximity with its upper face, these grooves defining bending lines, disposed in correspondence with the bending fracture lines of a ceramic platelet placed in register above said plate, which grooves define relative bays of the plate which are rigid in bending, these bays corresponding to the single elements into which the platelet is to be subdivided, upper pressing members being present adapted for clamping each element of the platelet against the corresponding bay or square of the plate, which is rigidly supported in correspondence with one single bay or square, lower opposing members being present, acting against each of the remaining bays, these members being retractable on command in a predetermined sequence, the successive bending of the plate along the lines defined by the grooves of said plate being brought about by the action of the upper pressing members, said bending causing the fracture of the ceramic platelet along the predetermined lines coinciding with the grooves of the plate.
