Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device capable of improving the divisibility of a wafer by concentrating crack stress by disposing notch patterns on a scribe line of a wafer, by locally removing a metal thin film in a scribe line and propagating a dividing energy in a vertical direction of a die surface. A semiconductor device includes: die regions spaced apart from each other in a wafer, scribe line regions disposed between neighboring ones of the die regions and covered with a metal material layer, and one or more open areas disposed in each of the scribe line regions and formed by locally removing the metal material layer, wherein each of the open areas includes one or more notch patterns indicating a direction in which the scribe line region is extended.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for servo-controlling when a reproduction is requested to a multi-session disk for non-real-time data or real-time data of audio or video stream. This servo-control method using the information of table of contents reads information of a table of contents written in a disk when a data-requesting command is received from a connected host; distinguishes the type of data recorded in a target location based on the read information of the table of contents; checks whether the distinguished type is corresponding to the command type; and re-sets or maintains current parameters for servo-control operation if the distinguished type is matched to the received command, so that a servo-control mechanism is adjusted to the type of the requested data before a pickup starts to move to the target location.
