Abstract:
A semiconductor substrate includes first and second main surfaces opposing each other. The semiconductor substrate includes second semiconductor regions in a side of the second main surface. Each of the second semiconductor regions includes a first region including a textured surface, and a second region where a bump electrode is disposed. The second semiconductor regions are two-dimensionally distributed in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to each other when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the semiconductor substrate. The first region and the second region are adjacent to each other in a direction crossing the first direction and the second direction. The textured surface of the first region is located toward the first main surface in comparison to the surface of the second region in a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate. The first main surface is a light incident surface of the semiconductor substrate.
Abstract:
An object cutting method includes: a first step of preparing an object including a single crystal silicon substrate and a functional device layer provided on a first main surface side; a second step of irradiating the object with laser light to form at least one row of modified regions in the single crystal silicon substrate and to form a fracture in the object so as to extend between the at least one row of modified regions and a second main surface of the object; and a third step of performing dry etching on the object from the second main surface side to form a groove opening to the second main surface. In the third step, in a state in which an etching protection layer having a gas passing region formed, is formed on the second main surface, the dry etching is performed by using a xenon difluoride gas.
