Abstract:
Otherwise-unused metal pads are utilized for mechanically marking an identification number on each chip in each reticle of each semiconductor wafer. A chip-specific marking pattern is scribed into selected metal pads using a standard commercial wafer probe controlled by a custom-built controller to direct the probe or probe stage to implement the pattern. Visual inspection (manual and automated) may then be used for die identification based on the probe-marked pattern, including incorporating the visual inspection of these pads into the product building process.

Claim (Index 35):
The system according to  claim 21 , wherein the controller is capable of directing the probe and/or probing stage to scribe a straight line on at least one the designated metal pad adjacent to a human readable label.
