    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 applying an adhesive layer to a front side of the semiconductor wafer. A mask layer is laminated onto the front side of the semiconductor wafer, the mask layer covering and protecting the integrated circuits. The adhesive layer adheres the mask layer to the front side of the semiconductor wafer. The mask layer is patterned with a laser scribing process to provide gaps in the mask layer, the gaps exposing regions of the semiconductor wafer between the integrated circuits. The semiconductor wafer is plasma etched through the gaps in the mask layer to singulate the integrated circuits.

    摘要: A method and system of hybrid dicing using a blade and laser are described. In one embodiment, a method involves focusing a laser beam inside the substrate in regions between the integrated circuits, inducing defects inside the substrate in the regions. The method also involves forming a groove on a surface of the substrate with a blade saw in the regions. The method further involves singulating the integrated circuits at the regions with the induced defects and the groove. In one embodiment, a system includes a laser module configured to focus a laser beam inside the substrate in regions between the integrated circuits, inducing defects inside the substrate in the regions. A blade grooving module is configured to form a groove in a surface of the substrate with a blade saw in the regions.

    摘要: Methods of using a screen-print mask for hybrid 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 separated by streets involves screen-printing a patterned mask above the semiconductor wafer, the patterned mask covering the integrated circuits and exposing the streets of the semiconductor wafer. The method also involves laser ablating the streets with a laser scribing process to expose regions of the semiconductor wafer between the integrated circuits. The method also involves plasma etching the semiconductor wafer through the exposed regions of the semiconductor wafer to singulate the integrated circuits. The patterned mask protects the integrated circuits during the plasma etching.

    摘要: A process to chemically refine and consolidate tantalum, niobium and their alloys to a fabricated product of net shape or near-net shape with higher throughput, more consistency, and lower manufacturing costs compared to prior art routes or rejuvenate damaged and deteriorated refractory metal parts. Powder metal is loaded into hoppers to be fed into laser forming/melting equipment. A suitable substrate is loaded into a laser forming/melting chamber onto which the powder will be deposited and consolidated in a point-scan process. As the powder is fed onto successive points of the surface of the substrate in linear traces, the laser is used to heat and partially melt the substrate and completely melt the powder. A combined deposition and melt beam traces the substrate surface repeatedly over a selected area to build up a dense coating of controlled microstructure in multiple layers. A fully dense deposit is built up that becomes the desired shape.
