A method and apparatus for determining the hermeticity of a semiconductor package is disclosed. Gas is introduced into the semiconductor package during packaging. Vacuum suction is then applied to the package. If the package has any leaks, the gas within will escape. The package is next scanned using a spectrometer. If the spectrometer does not detect any gas within the package cavity, the package is not hermetically sealed. In an alternate embodiment, the device is packaged first, and then immersed in a pressurized liquid. If the package has a leak, the pressure on the liquid will force liquid into the package cavity. The cavity of a properly sealed package will remain empty and dry. The package is scanned using a spectrometer. If the spectrometer detects liquid within the package, the package is not hermetically sealed.

A method for separating dies on a wafer includes etching channels around the dies on a first side of the wafer, mounting the first side of the wafer to a quartz plate with an UV adhesive, and grinding a second side of the wafer until the channels are exposed on the second side of the wafer. At this point, the dies are separated but held together by the UV adhesive on the quartz plate. The method further includes mounting a second side of the wafer to a tack tape, exposing UV radiation through the quartz plate to the UV adhesive. At this point, the UV adhesive looses its adhesion so the dies are held together by the tack tape. The method further includes dismounting the quartz plate from the first side of the wafer and picking up the individual dies from the tack tape.

A method for attaching antennae to RFID tags is disclosed. Included is the use of RFID tags having asymmetrical interconnect system for one or more antennae, such that virtually any rotational orientation of the RFID tag will result in a successful antennae attachment. Two oversized and “L” shaped gold-bumped holes can be arranged on the same side of the ship in an opposing action, such that at least one axis of symmetry is formed. Accordingly, virtually all rotational orientations of the chip are then acceptable when attaching a pair of opposing pole antenna leads. Alternatively, a pair of poles can be located on opposing chips surfaces, such that antenna substrates can be attached to both the top and bottom of the chip to form a product “sandwich”, whereby the rotational orientation of the chip is irrelevant at an antenna attachment step.

A post singulation, die separation assembly for bulk separation of a plurality of dice in a singulated wafer from the adhesive backing of wafer saw tape. The die separation assembly includes a support base having a support surface. A feed tray includes a collection end positioned adjacent the base such that an elongated, substantially tin gap is formed between the tray collection end and at least a portion of the base. A flexible platform is movably supported atop the base support surface for movement along the base. Upon movement of the flexible platform down the down-ramped portion of the support base, a portion of the wafer saw tape thereat is peeled away from the respective die. The tape is the separated from the dice, releasing the respective dice onto the collection end of the feed tray in a manner substantially maintaining their forward alignment orientation of thereof.

A post singulation, die separation assembly for bulk separation of a plurality of dice in a singulated wafer from the adhesive backing of wafer saw tape. The die separation assembly includes a support base having a support surface, a first portion and an opposite second portion thereof. The second portion includes a down-ramped portion thereof skewed downwardly at a first acute angle from the support surface. A feed tray includes a collection end positioned adjacent the base second portion such that an elongated, substantially thin gap is formed between the tray collection end and at least a portion of the base second portion. A flexible platform is movably supported atop the base support surface for movement from the first portion to the second portion thereof. At the second portion, the platform passes downward through the gap formed between the tray collection end and the at least a portion of the base second portion. The platform defines an upward facing surface upon each die of the singulated wafer is adhered thereto, via the saw tape, in a forward aligned manner. Upon movement of the flexible platform down the down-ramped portion of the support base, a portion of the wafer saw tape thereat is peeled away from the respective die. The tape is the separated from the dice, releasing the respective dice onto the collection end of the feed tray in a manner substantially maintaining their forward alignment orientation of thereof.
