ABSTRACT:
An improved method of dicing a semiconductor wafer which substantially reduces or eliminates corrosion of copper-containing, aluminum bonding pads. The method involves continuously contacting the bonding pads with deionized water and an effective amount of a copper corrosion inhibiting agent, most preferably benzotriazole. Also disclosed, is an improved apparatus for dicing a wafer, in which a copper corrosion inhibiting agent is included in the cooling system for cooling the dicing blade.
