    摘要: Methods of dicing semiconductor wafers, each wafer having a plurality of integrated circuits, are described. A method includes forming a mask above the semiconductor wafer. The mask covers and protects the integrated circuits. The mask is patterned with a laser scribing process to provide a patterned mask with gaps. The patterning exposes regions of the semiconductor wafer between the integrated circuits. The semiconductor wafer is then etched through the gaps in the patterned mask to form singulated integrated circuits. The patterned mask is then separated from the singulated integrated circuits.

    摘要: Methods of dicing semiconductor wafers, each wafer having a plurality of integrated circuits, are described. In an example, a method of dicing a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of integrated circuits involves forming a mask above the semiconductor wafer, the mask composed of a layer covering and protecting the plurality of integrated circuits. The mask is then patterned with a polygon scanning-based laser scribing process to provide a patterned mask with gaps, exposing regions of the semiconductor wafer between the plurality of integrated circuits. The semiconductor wafer is then plasma etched through the gaps in the patterned mask to singulate the plurality of integrated circuits.

    摘要: Approaches for backside laser scribe plus front side laser scribe and plasma etch dicing of a wafer or substrate are described. For example, a method of dicing a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of integrated circuits on a front side thereof and metallization on a backside thereof involves patterning the metallization on the backside with a first laser scribing process to provide a first plurality of laser scribe lines on the backside. The method also involves forming a mask on the front side. The method also involves patterning, from the front side, the mask with a second laser scribing process to provide a patterned mask with a second plurality of scribe lines exposing regions of the semiconductor wafer between the integrated circuits, wherein the second plurality of scribe lines is aligned with the first plurality of scribe lines. The method also involves plasma etching the semiconductor wafer through the second plurality of scribe lines to singulate the integrated circuits.

    摘要: In embodiments, a method of laser scribing a mask disposed over a semiconductor wafer includes determining a height of the semiconductor over which a mask layer is disposed prior to laser scribing the mask layer. In one embodiment the method includes: determining a height of the semiconductor wafer under the mask in a dicing street using an optical sensor and patterning the mask with a laser scribing process. The laser scribing process focuses a scribing laser beam at a plane corresponding to the determined height of the semiconductor wafer in the dicing street. Examples of determining the height of the semiconductor wafer can include directing a laser beam to the dicing street of the semiconductor wafer, which is transmitted through the mask and reflected from the wafer, and identifying an image on a surface of the wafer under the mask with a camera.
