    摘要: A method is disclosed for dicing a wafer having a base material with a diamond structure. The wafer first undergoes a polishing process, in which a predetermined portion of the wafer is polished away from its back side. The wafer is then diced through at least one line along a direction at a predetermined offset angle from a natural cleavage direction of the diamond structure.

    摘要: A method of forming a strained silicon layer on a relaxed, low defect density semiconductor alloy layer such as SiGe, has been developed. In a first embodiment of this invention the relaxed, low density SiGe layer is epitaxially grown on an silicon layer which in turn is located on an underlying SiGe layer. During the epitaxial growth of the overlying SiGe layer defects are formed in the underlying silicon layer resulting in the desired, relaxation, and decreased defect density for the SiGe layer. A second embodiment features an anneal procedure performed during growth of the relaxed SiGe layer, resulting in additional relaxation and decreased defect density, while a third embodiment features an anneal procedure performed to the underlying silicon layer prior to epitaxial growth of the relaxed SiGe layer, again allowing optimized relaxation and defect density to be realized for the SiGe layer. The ability to obtain a strained silicon layer on a relaxed, low defect density SiGe layer, allows devices with enhanced carrier mobility to be formed in the surface of the strained silicon layer, with decreased risk of leakage due the presence of the underlying, relaxed, low defect density SiGe layer.

    摘要: A method provides for dicing a wafer having a base material with a diamond structure. The wafer first undergoes a polishing process, in which a predetermined portion of the wafer is polished away from its back side. The wafer is then diced through at least one line along a direction at a predetermined offset angle from a natural cleavage direction of the diamond structure. A wafer is produced with one or more dies formed thereon with at least one of its edges at an offset angle from a natural cleavage direction of a diamond structure of a base material forming the wafer. At least one dicing line has one or more protection elements for protecting the dies from undesired cracking while the wafer is being diced along the dicing line.
