Summary: Wafer thinning and singulation is a critical process for successful miniaturization and high density packaging. A comparison of the latest die singulation techniques will be presented based on dicing yields and cost. These include stealth laser, laser abrasion, plasma etch and conventional rotary blade. Some results of stealth laser on singulated II-VI and III-V type dies will be presented in collaboration with Disco.
