Abstract: An improved scribe etch process for semiconductor laser chip manufacturing is provided. A method to etch a scribe line on a semiconductor wafer generally includes: applying a mask layer to a surface of the wafer; photolithographically opening a window in the mask layer along the scribe line; etching a trench in the wafer using a chemical etchant that operates on the wafer through the window opening, wherein the chemical etchant selectively etches through crystal planes of the wafer to generate a V-groove profile associated with the trench; and cleaving the wafer along the etched trench associated with the scribe line through application of a force to one or more regions of the wafer.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing edge-emitting lasers include cleaving a semiconductor wafer along one or more streets formed on the wafer. A street is an extended region formed without dielectric and metal layers and may be formed on the semiconductor wafer, for example, by a selective wet etching process or a dry etching process. Cleaving along the street(s) without dielectric and metal layers achieves cleaved facets, which are substantially free from microstep defects and metal contamination. After cleaving, a dielectric material may be provided on the remaining street portions along the ends of the cleaved facets, for example, by intentional overspray deposition of facet coatings.
