An object is to provide a technology capable of improving a manufacturing yield of semiconductor devices by preventing scattering of irregular-shaped scraps formed at the time of dicing. To achieve the above object, for dicing lines, by which an irregular-shaped outer periphery may possibly be cut off, among a plurality of dicing lines, formation of the dicing lines starts from an outside of a semiconductor wafer, and after the semiconductor wafer is cut off partway, formation of the dicing lines is ended before reaching the irregular-shaped outer periphery formed on a outer periphery of the semiconductor wafer. For other dicing lines, formation of the dicing lines starts from the outside of the semiconductor wafer, and after the semiconductor wafer is cut off, is ended outside the semiconductor wafer.

Techniques herein include methods for controllable lateral etching of dielectrics in polymerizing fluorocarbon plasmas. Methods can include dielectric stack etching that uses a mask trimming step as part of a silicon etching process. Using a fluorocarbon mixture for dielectric mask trimming provides several advantages, such as being straightforward to apply and providing additional flexibility to the process flow. Thus, techniques herein provide a method to correct or tune CDs on a hardmask. In general, this technique can include using a fluorine-based and a fluorocarbon-based, or fluorohydrocarbon-based, chemistry for creating a plasma, and controlling a ratio of the two chemistries. Without the hardmask trim method disclosed herein, if a hardmask CD is not on target, then a wafer is scrapped. With hard-mask trim capability in silicon etch as disclosed herein, a given CD can be re-targeted to eliminate wafer-scraps.
