  • Publication number: 20240038682
    Abstract: A laser grooving operation is performed to form a plurality of grooves in a semiconductor die prior to attaching the semiconductor die to a semiconductor device package substrate. In addition to forming a first groove through which blade sawing is to be performed to separate the semiconductor die from other semiconductor dies, a second groove may be formed between the first groove and a seal ring of the semiconductor die. The second groove is configured to contain any potential delamination that might otherwise propagate to an active region of the semiconductor die. Accordingly, the second groove and the associated laser grooving operation described herein may reduce the likelihood of delamination that might otherwise be caused by swelling and/or expansion in a molding compound formed around the semiconductor die after the semiconductor die is attached to the semiconductor device package substrate.
