    Abstract: In embodiments, a hybrid wafer or substrate dicing process involving an initial laser scribe and subsequent plasma etch is implemented for die singulation while also removing an oxidation layer from metal bumps on the wafer. In one embodiment, a method includes forming a mask over the semiconductor wafer covering the plurality of ICs, the plurality of ICs including metal bumps or pads with an oxidation layer. The method includes patterning the mask with a laser scribing process to provide a patterned mask with gaps, exposing regions of the semiconductor wafer between the ICs. The method includes plasma etching the semiconductor wafer through the gaps in the patterned mask to singulate the plurality of ICs and remove the oxidation layer from the metal bumps or pads.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for fabricating semiconductor packages, and more particularly, for forming features in semiconductor packages by laser ablation. In one embodiment, the laser systems and methods described herein can be utilized to pattern a substrate to be utilized as a package frame for a semiconductor package having one or more interconnections formed therethrough and/or one or more semiconductor dies disposed therein. The laser systems described herein can produce tunable laser beams for forming features in a substrate or other package structure. Specifically, frequency, pulse width, pulse shape, and pulse energy of laser beams are tunable based on desired sizes of patterned features and on the material in which the patterned features are formed. The adjustability of the laser beams enables rapid and accurate formation of features in semiconductor substrates and packages with controlled depth and topography.

    Abstract: Methods of dicing semiconductor wafers are described. In an example, a method of dicing a semiconductor wafer having integrated circuits thereon involves forming a mask above the semiconductor wafer, the mask composed of a layer covering and protecting the integrated circuits. The mask is then patterned with a multiple pass laser scribing process to provide a patterned mask with gaps exposing regions of the semiconductor wafer between the integrated circuits, the multiple pass laser scribing process including a first pass along a first edge scribing path, a second pass along a center scribing path, a third pass along a second edge scribing path, a fourth pass along the second edge scribing path, a fifth pass along the center scribing path, and a sixth pass along the first edge scribing path. The semiconductor wafer is then plasma etched through the gaps in the patterned mask to singulate the integrated circuits.
