Abstract
In one embodiment, semiconductor die having non-rectangular shapes and die having various different shapes are formed and singulated from a semiconductor wafer.
Claims4
A method of forming a semiconductor die comprising:
- providing a semiconductor wafer including a bulk semiconductor substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- forming a plurality of semiconductor die on the top surface of the silicon bulk semiconductor substrate with at least one die of the plurality of semiconductor die having regions for forming two substantially straight sides that intersect to form a first corner having a substantially curved shape and other regions for forming one or more other corners of the semiconductor die having a different shape than the first corner;
- forming a singulation region as a region of the semiconductor wafer that is between the semiconductor die;
- and
- using a dry etch to form an opening through the silicon bulk semiconductor substrate to simultaneously singulate the plurality of semiconductor die and form at least the first corner, the one or more other corners, and the two substantially straight sides.
