LASER ABLATION FOR DIE SEPARATION TO REDUCE LASER SPLASH AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

A method includes performing a laser ablation process that removes a portion of a wafer to form a trench in a scribe region between adjacent die regions of the wafer, the trench extending from a first side of the wafer toward an opposite second side of the wafer, the trench extending through a metal...

Zusammenfassung:A method includes performing a laser ablation process that removes a portion of a wafer to form a trench in a scribe region between adjacent die regions of the wafer, the trench extending from a first side of the wafer toward an opposite second side of the wafer, the trench extending through a metallization structure and an active circuit portion of the wafer, and a bottom of the trench spaced apart from the second side of the wafer. The method also includes performing a wafer expansion process that separates individual semiconductor dies from the wafer after the laser ablation process.
