Abstract:
Methods of dicing semiconductor wafers are described. In an example, a method of dicing a semiconductor wafer having integrated circuits thereon involves forming a mask above the semiconductor wafer, the mask composed of a layer covering and protecting the integrated circuits. The mask is then patterned with a multiple pass laser scribing process to provide a patterned mask with gaps exposing regions of the semiconductor wafer between the integrated circuits, the multiple pass laser scribing process including a first pass along a first edge scribing path, a second pass along a center scribing path, a third pass along a second edge scribing path, a fourth pass along the second edge scribing path, a fifth pass along the center scribing path, and a sixth pass along the first edge scribing path. The semiconductor wafer is then plasma etched through the gaps in the patterned mask to singulate the integrated circuits.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein a spacing between centers of the first edge scribing path and the center scribing path is approximately 8 microns, and a spacing between centers of the center scribing path and the second edge scribing path is approximately 8 microns.
