Abstract:
Methods for providing a polymer coating on the scribe lines of a semiconductor wafer to reduce or eliminate chipping caused by mechanical saw cutting along the scribe lines are provided. A method of forming an array of separated integrated circuit dice may include forming a plurality of integrated circuits on a semiconductor wafer, defining a scribe line on the semiconductor wafer, forming a polymer layer on the scribe line, and sawing the semiconductor wafer along the scribe line, such that the saw passes through the polymer layer and at least partially through the semiconductor wafer, to define the array of separated integrated circuit dice, wherein the polymer layer on the scribe line reduces or eliminates chipping or other physical defects in the separated integrated circuit dice resulting from the sawing process.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the polymer layer on the scribe line has a thickness in the range of 5-10 microns.
