    摘要: In embodiments, a hybrid wafer or substrate dicing process involving an initial laser scribe and subsequent plasma etch is implemented for die singulation. The laser scribe process may be used to cleanly remove a mask layer, organic and inorganic dielectric layers, and device layers. The laser etch process may then be terminated upon exposure of, or partial etch of, the wafer or substrate. In embodiments, a hybrid plasma etching approach is employed to dice the wafers where an isotropic etch is employed to improve the die sidewall following an anisotropic etch with a plasma based on a combination of NF3 and CF4. The isotropic etch removes anisotropic etch byproducts, roughness, and/or scalloping from the anisotropically etched die sidewalls after die singulation.

    摘要: Methods of using a hybrid mask composed of a first water soluble film layer and a second water-soluble layer for wafer dicing using laser scribing and plasma etch described. In an example, a method of dicing a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of integrated circuits involves forming a hybrid mask above the semiconductor wafer. The hybrid mask is composed of a first water-soluble layer disposed on the integrated circuits, and a second water-soluble layer disposed on the first water-soluble layer. The method also involves patterning the hybrid mask with a laser scribing process to provide a patterned hybrid mask with gaps, exposing regions of the semiconductor wafer between the integrated circuits. The method also involves etching the semiconductor wafer through the gaps in the patterned hybrid mask to singulate the integrated circuits.

    摘要: Methods of dicing semiconductor wafers, each wafer having a plurality of integrated circuits, are described. For example, a method includes applying a protection tape to a wafer front side, the wafer having a dicing tape attached to the wafer backside. The dicing tape is removed from the wafer backside to expose a die attach film disposed between the wafer backside and the dicing tape. Alternatively, if no die attach film is initially disposed between the wafer backside and the dicing tape, a die attach film is applied to the wafer backside at this operation. A water soluble mask is applied to the wafer backside. Laser scribing is performed on the wafer backside to cut through the mask, the die attach film and the wafer, including all layers included within the front side and backside of the wafer. A plasma etch is performed to treat or clean surfaces of the wafer exposed by the laser scribing. A wafer backside cleaning is performed and a second dicing tape is applied to the wafer backside. The protection tape is the removed from the wafer front side.

    摘要: Methods and systems of laser and plasma etch wafer dicing using UV-curable adhesive films. A method includes forming a mask covering ICs formed on the wafer. The semiconductor wafer is coupled to a film frame by a UV-curable adhesive film. A pre-cure of the UV-curable adhesive film cures a peripheral portion of the adhesive extending beyond an edge of the wafer to improve the exposed adhesive material's resistance to plasma etch and reduce hydrocarbon redeposition within the etch chamber. The mask is patterned by laser scribing to provide a patterned mask with gaps. The patterning exposes regions of the semiconductor wafer, below thin film layers from which the ICs are formed. The semiconductor wafer is plasma etched through the gaps in the patterned mask to singulate the ICs. A center portion of the UV-curable adhesive is then cured and the singulated ICs detached from the film.
