Blade Dicing (or Blade Sawing)įigure 3-1.
This method of scribing between dies and breaking them into individual chips was mainly used in wafers under 6 inches in the early days. Scribing means making a groove in advance by sawing (half cutting) the front of a wafer by using a blade wheel. To prevent these problems, a scribing method where the wafer surface is bladed to a depth of about half before breaking is applied. In addition, another problem was that burrs (stumps generated after cutting) of the metal layer were not sufficiently removed, making the cut surface rough. In the early days, only “breaking”, a method of applying an external force, was performed as a method of separating a die, which is a hexahedral semiconductor chip, with a transistor scribed from a wafer however, this method caused damages such as chipping (chipped edges) or cracks to a die separated from a wafer. Scribe dicing method in the early period: Physical separation (breaking)Īfter scribing wafers with a diameter of 6 inches or less ▶ Refer to “Light, Thin, Short and Small”, The Development of Semiconductor Packages Now we will have a look at the five-step dicing method according to the development of chip singulation. Depending on the changes in the appearance of the package, the number of times for dicing and the procedure and the type of dicing are determined accordingly.
As a result, the appearance of the package which becomes smaller has a great influence on the back-end process. Conversely, the development of the front-end process changes the procedure and method of back grinding or die sawing the wafer in the back-end process. The development of the back-end process is a factor that determines the structure or location of a die (a chip separated in a hexahedral form) on a wafer, or the structure or location of a pad (electrical connection path) on a die in the front-end process. The front-end process and back-end process develop by influencing each other in various ways. Change of the dicing method for separating into individual chips (singulation) Due to the recent increase in the degree of integration of semiconductors, the thickness of wafers is becoming thinner, making the singulation process increasingly difficult. Such individualization of a wafer to multiple chips is called “Singulation”, and a process of sawing a wafer plate into a single cuboid is called “die sawing”. In the package manufacturing process, which is a back-end process, dicing is performed to divide the wafer into individual chips in a hexahedral shape. Finally, in the packaging process, the wafer is divided into individual semiconductor chips, making it a complete semiconductor chip. The process for the first change is slicing a lump-formed ingot to make a wafer, and the process for the second change is engraving a transistor on the front of the wafer through the front-end process. In the “Home” tab, click the arrow next to “Dictate” and then select “Transcribe” from the menu that appears.A wafer goes through three changes until it becomes a semiconductor chip. If you already have an audio file that you want to transcribe, you can upload it to Word. Once selected, the audio recording and the content of the transcript will appear in the document. When you’re finished editing the transcript, you can add it to the document by selecting the “Add All To Document” button at the bottom of the pane. Here’s the function of each button, from left to right: This is necessary if the transcript is long, and you can’t remember exactly who said what. If necessary, you can use the playback controls to revisit the audio recording. You can also edit the name of the speaker, as well as every instance where the speaker (i.e., Speaker 1 or Speaker 2) appears by ticking the box next to “Change All Speaker.” When you’re finished, click the checkmark. Now you can edit the transcription found in this section.
