Patent ID: 6889427

Claim:
A method for disengaging a semiconductor die from a film comprising: forming a plurality of dice on a semiconductor substrate; attaching a bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate to a film dicing the semiconductor substrate into a plurality of individual die, wherein a bottom surface of the plurality of individual die remains attached to the film; disengaging a semiconductor die from the film, wherein disengaging further comprises: placing the plurality of individual die on an anvil; aligning a semiconductor die over an opening in the anvil; projecting a blade through the opening in the anvil to facilitate separation of the semiconductor die from the film, wherein the blade has a surface for disengaging the semiconductor die from the film that is inclined relative to a bottom surface of the semiconductor die; and lifting an edge portion of the semiconductor die above a surface of the anvil with the blade to facilitate disengagement the semiconductor die from the film.
