Abstract:This thesis describes an investigation of the suitability of standard semiconductor dicing tape when used in plasma dicing applications. The traditional methods of dividing a fully processed semiconductor wafer into individual integrated circuits are cleaving, sawing or laser based. These are all physical techniques and tape properties have been developed to ensure optimum performance for these processes. Conversely, plasma dicing is less physical as the material between each device is eliminated at the atomic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
