Wafer Dicing is an important part of the semiconductor manufacturing process After the wafer finishes processing, we need to separate or singulate the die from each other. Engineers can use several different methods to singulate the dice from the wafer: traditional saw blade methods, laser dicing, plasma dicing, waterjet dicing, and other variations. We will discuss these techniques in more detail in this course, along with challenges associated with non-silicon semiconductor wafers, such as GaAs.
