Abstract:
A method for monitoring and controlling a substrate singulation process is described. Device edges are imaged and identified for analysis. Discrepancies in device edges are noted and used to modify a singulation process and to monitor the operation of singulation processes for anomalous behavior.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of characterizing a singulation process comprising:\n identifying a profile of a predetermined portion of a peripheral edge of a first IC device that has been separated from a substrate; identifying a profile of a predetermined portion of a peripheral edge of a second IC device that has been separated from the substrate, the predetermined portion of the peripheral edge of the second IC device being adjacent to the predetermined portion of the peripheral edge of the first IC device; and, comparing the profiles of the predetermined portions of the peripheral edge of the first and second IC devices to identify one of a gap between the profiles and an overlap between the profiles, if any.
