  • Publication number: 20120313213
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure having: a wafer; and a plurality of chips disposed on the wafer, each one of the chips having a linear array of a plurality of transistors, the linear array being at an oblique angle with respect to grid lines in the wafer separating the chips. Each one of the transistors has a plurality of parallel control electrodes extending longitudinally along an axis perpendicular to the axis along which the plurality of transistors is distributed. A matching circuit is disposed on the integrated circuit chip between a corner of the integrated circuit chip and the plurality of transistors.

  • Publication number: 20120313111
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip comprises: a semiconductor structure having a single crystal substrate having a non-cubic crystallographic structure and epitaxial layers disposed on the substrate wherein adjacent sides of the semiconductor structure are at oblique angles. A method for separating a plurality of integrated circuit chips. The method includes: providing a semiconductor wafer having single crystal substrate, such substrate having a non-cubic crystallographic structure with an epitaxial layer disposed on the substrate; forming scribe lines at oblique angles to one another in the epitaxial layer; and cutting or cleaving through the substrate along the scribe lines to separate the chips.
