摘要: A method and apparatus for substrate dicing are described. The method includes utilizing a laser to dice a substrate along a dicing path to form a perforated line around each device within the substrate. The dicing path is created by exposing the substrate to bursts of laser pulses at different locations around each device. The laser pulses are delivered to the substrate and may have a pulse repetition frequency of greater than about 25 MHz, a pulse width of less than about 15 picoseconds, and a laser wavelength of about 1.0 μm to about 5 μm.

摘要: A method and apparatus for dicing optical devices from a substrate are described herein. The method includes the formation of a plurality of trenches using radiation pulses delivered to the substrate. The radiation pulses are delivered in a pattern to form trenches with varying depth as the trenches extend outward from a top surface of the optical device. The varying depth of the trenches provides edges of each of the optical devices which are slanted. The radiation pulses are UV radiation pulses and are delivered in bursts around the silhouette of the optical devices.

摘要: Embodiments described herein provide for devices and methods for retaining optical devices. The devices and methods described herein provide for retention of the substrate without contacting sensitive portions of the substrate. The devices and methods utilize retention pads or vacuum pins to contact the exclusion zones i.e., inactive areas of the substrate to retain the substrate and prevent the substrate from moving laterally. Additionally, a holding force retains the substrate in the vertical direction, without contacting the substrate. The methods provide for adjusting the devices to account for multiple geometries of the substrate. The methods further provide for adjusting the devices, such as adjusting a gap between the optical device and a suction pad, to alter the holding force of the devices on the optical devices.

摘要: Methods of dicing optical devices from an optical device substrate are disclosed. The methods include disposing a protective coating only over the optical devices. The optical device substrate includes the optical devices disposed on the surface of the optical device substrate with areas therebetween. The areas of the optical device substrate are exposed by the protective coating. The protective coating includes a polymer, a solvent, and an additive. The methods further include curing the protective coating via a cure process so that the protective coating is water-soluble after the solvent is removed by the cure process, dicing the optical devices from the optical device substrate by projecting a laser beam to the areas between the optical devices, and exposing the protective coating to water to remove the protective coating from the optical devices that are diced.
