  • Semiconductor substrates and methods for processing semiconductor substrates
    Patent number: 9570291
    Abstract: Semiconductor substrates and methods for processing semiconductor substrates are provided. A method for processing a semiconductor substrate includes providing a semiconductor substrate having an outer edge, a central region, and a peripheral region between the outer edge and the central region. The semiconductor substrate also has an upper surface. The method includes forming an amorphous material over the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate in the peripheral region. Also, the method includes irradiating the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the amorphous material inhibits cracking at the outer edge of the semiconductor substrate.
    Type: Grant
