    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to plasma dicing of wafer. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to frame masks and methods for plasma dicing wafers utilizing frame masks. The frame mask includes a mask frame, wherein the mask frame includes a top ring mask support and a side ring mask support. A plurality of mask segments suspended from the top ring mask support by segment supports, the mask segments are configured to define dicing channels on a blank wafer. The frame mask is configured to removably sit onto a frame lift assembly in a plasma chamber of a plasma dicing tool, when fitted onto the frame lift assembly, the mask segments are disposed above a wafer on a wafer ring frame for plasma dicing. The mask frame is configured to enable flow of plasma therethrough to the wafer to etch the wafer to form dicing channels defined by the mask segments.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor package is disclosed. The method includes providing a package substrate having top and bottom major package substrate surfaces, the top major package surface including a die attach region. A die having first and second major die surfaces is attached onto the die attach region. The second major die surface is attached to the die attach region. The first major die surface includes an die active region and a cover adhesive region surrounding the die active region. The method also includes applying a cover adhesive to the cover adhesive region on the first major die surface. A protective cover with first and second major cover surfaces and side surfaces is attached to the die using the cover adhesive. The second major cover surface contacts the cover adhesive. The protective cover covers the die active region. The protective cover includes a discontinuity on at least one of the side surfaces. An encapsulant is disposed on the package substrate to cover exposed portions of the package substrate, die and bond wires and side surfaces of the protective cover, while leaving the first major cover surface exposed. The discontinuity enhances adhesion of the encapsulant to the protective cover.
