Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a wafer cutting tool and a method for cutting wafers using the tool. Background technique
[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing process, in order to accurately locate the rotation direction of the wafer, a positioning notch (notch) of a wafer is usually defined on the outer edge of the wafer in the <110> direction, and the positioning notch is aligned with each chip in the wafer. (die) corresponds to the orientation.
[0003] However, with the development of manufacturing processes applied to silicon with a feature size below 90nm, more new process technologies are introduced into the CMOS process to increase the performance of semiconductor devices. Wherein, the direction of the chip is changed from the original <110> direction to the <100> direction, and the direction of the corresponding wafer positioning notch is also changed from ...
