SEPARATION METHOD AND ASSEMBLY FOR CHIP-ON-WAFER PROCESSING

Abstract:

A method for separating semiconductor die stacks of a chip-on-wafer assembly is disclosed herein. In one example, divider walls are arranged in a pattern on a first surface of a device wafer such that regions between the divider walls define mounting sites. Die stacks are mounted to the device wafer, wherein individual die stacks are located at a corresponding mounting site between the divider walls. The device wafer is cut through from a second surface that is opposite the first surface of the device wafer, and the divider walls are removed from between the die stacks to form a vacant lane between adjacent die stacks.
