ABSTRACT:
A pre-process before cutting a wafer is described. The wafer includes a plurality of scribe lines and a plurality of dies defined by the scribe lines, and a material layer covers the wafer. A pre-processing step is performed to remove the material layer on the scribe lines close to the corner regions of the dies. Removing the material layer at the corner regions before cutting the wafer is able to preserve the integrity of the corner regions of the cut dies.
