摘要:
A method for cleaving semiconductor wafers, or segments thereof, which comprises placing the wafer, provided with scribe lines defining the planes where cleaving is to take place, inbetween a pair of flexible transport bands and guiding it around a curved, large radius surface thereby applying a bending moment. With a moment of sufficient magnitude, individual bars are broken off the wafer as this is advanced, the bars having front-and rear-end facets. On cleaving, each bar, while still pressed against the curved surface, is automatically separated whereby mutual damage of the facets of neighboring bars is prevented. For further handling, e.g. for the transport of the bars to an evaporation station for passivation layer deposition, provisions are made to keep the bars separated. Cleaving and the subsequent passivation coating can be carried out in-situ in a vacuum system to prevent facet contamination prior to applying the passivation.

Encapsulation of semiconductor light emitting diodes, in particular laser diodes, characterized in that a gap is formed in an encapsulant, which is positioned in front of the light emitting facet of the diode, the gap preventing the encapsulant from adhering to the light emitting facet.
