Patent ID: 6936497

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a plurality of electronic dies, comprising: forming a first combination wafer having a support layer and a layer of solid diamond on the support layer; forming a second combination wafer by implanting ions into a surface of a monocrystalline semiconductor material; forming a third combination wafer by attaching the first combination wafer to the surface of the layer of monocrystalline semiconductor material; shearing a portion of the monocrystalline semiconductor material not implanted with the ions from a portion of the monocrystalline semiconductor material implanted with the ions, the portion of the monocrystalline semiconductor material implanted with the ions forming a layer of monocrystalline semiconductor material on the third combination wafer; at least partially removing the support layer after shearing of the third combination wafer; and severing a remainder of the third combination wafer into individual dies after at least partially removing the support layer.
