    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 comprising a plurality of integrated circuits involves forming a mask above the semiconductor wafer. The mask includes a layer covering and protecting the integrated circuits. The semiconductor wafer has a thickness. The method also involves laser scribing the mask and a majority of the thickness of the semiconductor wafer to provide scribe lines in the mask and the semiconductor wafer. The scribe lines are formed between the integrated circuits. The method also involves plasma etching the semiconductor wafer through the scribe lines to singulate the 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 galvo scanner and linear stage hybrid motion 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 front side laser scribe plus backside bump formation and laser scribe and plasma etch dicing process are described. For example, a method of dicing a semiconductor wafer having integrated circuits on a front side thereof involves forming first scribe lines on the front side, between the integrated circuits, with a first laser scribing process. The method also involves forming arrays of metal bumps on a backside of the semiconductor wafer, each array corresponding to one of the integrated circuits. The method also involves forming second scribe lines on the backside, between the arrays of metal bumps, with a second laser scribing process, wherein the second scribe lines are aligned with the first scribe lines. The method also involves plasma etching the semiconductor wafer through the second scribe lines to singulate the integrated circuits.

    摘要: A method and system of hybrid laser dicing are described. In one embodiment, a method includes focusing a laser beam inside a substrate in regions between integrated circuits, inducing defects inside the substrate in the regions. The method involves patterning a surface of the substrate with a laser scribing process in the regions after inducing the defects in the substrate. The method further involves singulating the integrated circuits at the regions with the induced defects. In another embodiment, a system includes a first laser module configured to focus a laser beam inside a substrate in regions between integrated circuits, inducing defects inside the substrate in the regions. A second laser module is configured to pattern a surface of the substrate with a laser scribing process in the regions after inducing the defects. A tape extender is configured to stretch tape over which the substrate is mounted, singulating the integrated circuits.
