  • Publication number: 20110193200
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device can include electrically testing a plurality of semiconductor dies in wafer form subsequent to performing a first wafer dicing process, then performing a second wafer dicing process to dice the wafer and to singularize the plurality of semiconductor dies. Electrically testing the plurality of semiconductor dies in wafer form subsequent to the first dicing process can identify chips damaged during the first dicing process. The method can also include forming a plurality of grooves between adjacent dies which leaves a full wafer thickness at a perimeter of the wafer to result in a wafer which is more resistant to deflection and damage during handling.
