After the patterning and probe process of wafer have been achieved, the dicing processing is necessary to separate chips from a wafer. The dicing process cuts a semiconductor wafer to lengthwise and crosswise directions to make many chips. The existing general dicing method is the mechanical cutting using a narrow circular rotating blade impregnated diamond particles or laser cutting. Inferior goods can be made by the mechanical or laser cutting unless several parameters such as blade, wafer, cutting water and cutting conditions are properly set. Moreover, we can not apply these general dicing method to that of GaN wafer, because the GaN wafer is harder than general semiconductor wafers such as GaAs, GaAsP, AIGaAs and so forth. In order to overcome these problems, this paper describes a new wafer dicing method using fixed diamond scriber and precision servo mechanism.

But inferior goods are made under the influence of several parameters in dicing such as blade, wafer, cutting water and cutting conditions. Moreover we can not applicable this dicing method to GaN wafer, because the GaN wafer is harder than the other wafer as GaAs. In older to overcome this problem, a new dicing process is necessary.

The forced vibration analysis of the outer-clamped spinnig annular disk with arbitrary in-plane is formulated to investigate the influence of non-uniform tension on the cutting accuracy of wafer cutting machine. The arbitrary in-plan force along the outer edge of an annular plate is expressed as a Fourier series. Galerkin method and modal superposition method are employed to obtain the forced responses under the static force and the impulse force in astationary coordinate. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses, it can be found that forced and impulse responses are sensitive to the non-uniformity of in-plane force, which can bring a bad effect to the accuracy of wafer cutting process. Also, in case of a spinning disk with non-uniform in-plane force, critical speed is required to define in a different way, compared with conventional definition in axi-symmetrical spinning disk.

The general dicing process cuts a semiconductor wafer to lengthwise and crosswise direction by using a rotating circular diamond blade. But products with inferior quality are produced under the influence of several parameters in dicing process such as blade, wafer, cutting water and cutting conditions. Moreover we can not apply this dicing method to GaN wafer, because the GaN wafer is harder than the other wafer such as SiO2, GaAs, GaAsP, and AlGaAs. In order to overcome this problem, development of a new dicing process and determination of dicing parameters are necessary. This paper describes a new wafer dicing method using fixed diamond scriber and precision servo mechanism and determination of several parameters - scribing depth, scribing force, scriber inclined angle, scribing speed, and factor for scriber replacement - for a new dicing machine using scriber.

LED chips are produced by cutting the sapphire on which GaN is evaporated. To cut the sapphire wafer into each LED chip, at first the wafer is scribed by diamond tool. To get the sharp groove shape for the nice cutting plane it is important the diamond tool shape, load, etc when the wafer is scribed. Here we tried to simulate the scribing process and get the scribing condition to reduce the wear rate of diamond tool for the sharp groove shape.

Presently, the semiconductor industry has the chronic problem. In the semiconductor industry, it has the semiconductor wafer, a package, the optical filter cut by using the saw blade, the mold, a laser etc. The cutting technique has the difficulty due to the rising of the production cost by the wearing of mold, the poor quality problem due to generated heat at the moment of cutting procedure and curve cutting etc. The goal of this time of national research and development project is develop the apparatus for solving the problem that the existing cutting technique has. The technology is so called waterjet abrasive method. This technology will be mainly applied to cut a semiconductor package and a wafer. Two important things to be considered are ripple effect(in other words, the scale of a market) and simplicity of an application.

스크라이빙 공정은 LED 칩 생성을 위한 절단 공정으로 칩의 특성 및 생산량을 결정하는 중요한 공정이다. 기존의 기계적 방식 및 레이저 방식의 스크라이빙 공정은 칩의 열 변형 및 강도 저하, 절단 영역의 제한 등의 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 웨이퍼 내부에 공극을 생성하여 자가 균열을 유도하는 내부 레이저 스크라이빙 공정이 연구되고 있으나 LED 칩 제작을 위한 사파이어 웨이퍼의 절단에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 논문은 LED 칩 제작에 사용되는 사파이어 웨이퍼의 내부 레이저 스크라이빙 공정을 적용하기 위해 주요 가공 변수를 정립하고 가공 실험을 통하여 절단 특성을 분석함으로써 내부 레이저 스크라이빙 시스템 구축을 위한 기초 가공 조건을 확립하였다.

Laser cutting cell of solar cells can achieve high voltage and efficiency through more array than conventional 6 inch cell compared to same area. In this study, we fabricated c-Si cutting cell with various lasers and laser conditions such as power, speed, and number of times. In the case of picosecond laser, excellent surface characteristics were obtained due to small surface defects and low thermal damage at the output of 20W and the speed of 100 mm/s. However, it is not possible to fabricate a cutting cell having good characteristics due to nonuniform cutting inside the wafer when the processing for forming a cutting cell is not sufficiently performed. For nanosecond lasers, the best wafer characteristics were obtained for fabrication of excellent cutting cells at a frequency of 500 kHz and a laser speed of 100 mm/s. However, the nanosecond laser has not been processed sufficiently in the condition of a number of times. As a result, it was confirmed that the wafer thickness was cut by $63{\mu}m$ of the cell thickness of $170{\mu}m$ in the condition of five times of laser process. It was found that more than 30% of the wafer thickness had to be processed to fabricate the cutting cell. After cutting the 6-inch cell having the voltage of 0.65 V, we obtained the voltage of about 0.63 V.
