Method and structure for dividing a substrate into individual devices
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining individual dies from a semiconductor structure that includes a device layer, the device layer in turn including active regions separated by predefined spacings, the method comprising:
- selectively forming a metal layer on backside of the device layer such that the metal layer is formed on backside of active regions but not on backside of the predefined spacings; and
cutting the semiconductor structure along the predefined spacings to separate the active regions with the metal layer on their backside into individual dies.

Abstract
A method for obtaining individual dies from a semiconductor structure is disclosed. The semiconductor structure includes a device layer, and the device layer in turn includes active regions separated by predefined spacings. Thick metal is selectively formed on backside of the device layer such that thick metal is formed on backside of active regions but not on backside of the predefined spacings. The semiconductor structure is then cut along the predefined spacings to separate the active regions with thick metal on their backside into individual dies.
