Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. 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; and
die-by-die singulating the plurality of die at the first plurality of die streets and the second plurality of die streets using the one of the first fluid jet or the first laser beam and one of the second fluid jet or the second laser beam;
wherein one of the first fluid jet or the first laser beam singulates the plurality of die by removing the material of the die street having a thickness equal to an entire thickness of the semiconductor substrate; and
wherein die-by-die singulating comprises intersecting one of the first fluid jet or the first laser beam with the one of the second fluid jet or the second laser beam at a beginning of singulating and at an end of singulating each die of the plurality of die.
