摘要:
A method for dicing a semiconductor substrate includes: forming a reforming layer in the substrate by irradiating a laser beam on the substrate; forming a groove on the substrate along with a cutting line; and applying a force to the substrate in order to cutting the substrate at the reforming layer as a starting point of cutting. The groove has a predetermined depth so that the groove is disposed near the reforming layer, and the force provides a stress at the groove.

A semiconductor wafer has two faces, one of which is a laser light incident face. A dicing sheet is attached to the other face of the wafer, so that it is stretched to thereby apply tensile stress to a laser-reformed region and cause cutting with the reformed region taken as a starting point for cutting. A protection layer, such as light scattering projections and depressions, a light scattering member or a light reflecting member, is provided between the wafer and the dicing sheet to scatter or reflect the laser light passing through the wafer. Thus, the dicing sheet can be protected from being damaged because the laser light converging point is not formed in the dicing sheet.

A device separated from a wafer includes: a chip having a sidewall, which is provided by a dicing surface of the wafer in a case where the device is separated from the wafer; and a protection member disposed on the sidewall of the chip for protecting the chip from being contaminated by a dust from the dicing surface. In the device, the dicing surface of the wafer is covered with the protection member so that the chip is prevented from contaminated with the dust.

A semiconductor wafer includes: a first layer having a first refraction index; a second layer having a second refraction index, which is different from the first refraction index; a plurality of semiconductor elements; and a layer removal region. The semiconductor elements are capable of being separated each other by irradiating a laser beam on the first layer along with a cutting line. The laser beam irradiation provides a modified region in the first layer so that the semiconductor elements are capable of being separated by a crack generated in the modified region. The layer removal region is provided such that the second layer in the layer removal region is removed from the wafer.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor sensor includes a forming step, a preparing step, a fixing step and a separating step. In the forming step, a plurality of caps made of resin is formed on a supporting substrate through a separable agent. Each of the caps has a cavity therein. In the preparing step, a semiconductor wafer is prepared, on which a plurality of sensor elements are formed. In the fixing step, the caps are fixed to the semiconductor wafer. Each cavity of the caps corresponds to each of the sensor elements. In the separating step, the separable agent and the supporting substrate are separated from the caps so as to leave the caps on the semiconductor wafer.
