Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. A semiconductor substrate singulation process comprising:
applying one of a first fluid jet or a first laser beam to a material of a die street of a first plurality of die streets comprised in a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate comprising a plurality of die separated by the first plurality of die streets and a second plurality of die streets;
applying one of a second fluid jet or a second laser beam to a material of a die street of the second plurality of die streets comprised in the semiconductor substrate; and
zigzag singulating the plurality of die at the first plurality of die streets and second plurality of die streets by removing an entire thickness of the material of the die street of the first plurality of die streets using one of the first fluid jet or the first laser beam and removing an entire thickness of the material of the die street of the second plurality of die streets using one of the second fluid jet or the second laser beam;
wherein one of the first fluid jet or the first laser beam and one of the second fluid jet or the second laser beam are both used to zigzag singulate each die of the plurality of die.
