Abstract: A method and apparatus for substrate dicing are described. The method includes utilizing a laser to dice a substrate along a dicing path to form a perforated line around each device within the substrate. The dicing path is created by exposing the substrate to bursts of laser pulses at different locations around each device. The laser pulses are delivered to the substrate and may have a pulse repetition frequency of greater than about 25 MHz, a pulse width of less than about 15 picoseconds, and a laser wavelength of about 1.0 μm to about 5 μm.

Abstract: Exemplary methods of removing lithium-containing deposits may include heating a surface of a lithium-containing deposit. The surface may include oxygen or nitrogen, and the lithium-containing deposit may be disposed on a surface of a processing chamber. The methods may include contacting the surface of the lithium-containing deposit with a hydrogen-containing precursor. The contacting may hydrogenate the surface of the lithium-containing deposit. The methods may include contacting the lithium-containing deposit with a nitrogen-containing precursor to form volatile byproducts. The methods may include exhausting the volatile byproducts of the lithium-containing deposit from the processing chamber.
