ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a hexagonal semiconductor die, semiconductor substrates and methods of forming a semiconductor die. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of forming a semiconductor die comprising: providing a semiconductor wafer; forming an array of regular hexagonal dies upon the wafer, the array being formed in a two-dimensional honeycomb configuration; forming circuitry upon individual ones of the hexagonal dies; separating the hexagonal dies by laser cutting; and attaching a plurality of electrical contacts to the circuitry of individual ones of the hexagonal dies.
