Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving a chip cutting process. The method comprises the following steps of: coating photoresist on a passivation layer on the surface of a chip to be cut; etching the passivation layer on the surface of the chip to expose the surface of a solder pad, and peeling the photoresist; and oxidizing an exposed metal layer to produce a metal oxide layer. The method also comprises the steps of: performing an electric acceptance test on the chip; checking the appearance of the chip; and cutting the chip. According to the method of the invention, the cutting of the chip is improved, thus the pollution of silicon dust on the solder pad, especially pollution on a surface Al layer is reduced, and the galvanic effect is inhibited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an integrated circuit chip cutting method, in particular to a chip cutting method for reducing AlCu welding pad pollution. Background technique [0002] Die cutting has always been a very important process in the semiconductor industry. After a semiconductor wafer (wafer) has gone through a complicated manufacturing process, it needs to be divided into several small circuit chips, that is, chips. If the high yield rate cannot be maintained during the chip separation stage, or the original characteristics of the chip are affected by the chip separation method, or the cutting speed is too slow and the cost is too high, it will have a very serious impact on the production of the entire chip. [0003] figure 1 The flow of conventional chip dicing is shown. In step 101, a layer of photoresist with a pattern is covered on the surface of the chip, and the passivation layer located on the outermost surface of the chip is etched. In...
