dicing particle contamination

Producing hydrophobic layers using commercial CVD units allows the particles to
be spray cleaned away, much easier.

Hi Kevin,

Maybe worth to look at the laser dicing technique. Discoeruope is an interesting
one.

Regards,
Yingtao

Subject: [mems-talk] dicing particle contamination

Hello

We've been struggling with particles getting embedded in our delicate silicon
comb structures during dicing. Our current process involves spraying on a 10um
thick layer of photoresist over the entire wafer and then do a soft bake. After
dicing we rinse the wafer to remove particles before stripping off the resist.
However we're still getting particles stuck in-between the comb fingers. We've
attempted ultrasonic cleaning but that damages the combs.

Any tips to remove or prevent particles would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Kevin Chang
