As mentioned above, when using a dicer to cut an integrated object in which a semiconductor such as silicon and an insulator such as borosilicate glass are bonded together, the fine-grained blade used to cut only the silicon will cut the insulator. glass cannot be cut. Therefore, it is necessary to use a blade with a large grain size to cut silicon and glass at the same time. At this time, cutting from the silicon side causes the disadvantage that extremely large chippings (this chipping can reach 300 μm) occur on the silicon surface.

A semiconductor strain gauge chip 30 in the form of a semiconductor wafer (eg, silicon) is bonded to the upper surface of an insulator (eg, borosilicate glass) 28. As shown in FIG. A diaphragm 32 is formed on the semiconductor strain gauge chip 30, and a resistor is diffused on the upper surface of the diaphragm 32. diaphragm 32
The lower insulator 28 has a hole 34 for introducing pressure. A space 36 is provided between the semiconductor strain gauge chips 30, which is etched at the same time as the diaphragm 32 is etched.

Next, a method for cutting the semiconductor pressure sensor described above will be explained. First, the semiconductor wafer is cut along the line 38 at high speed using a blade exclusively for silicon (for example, blade width 50 μm, grain size #1500). At this time, since a space 36 is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor wafer so as to be in contact with the surface of the insulator 28, the semiconductor wafer can be cut with a dedicated blade without cutting to the surface of the insulator.
Therefore, since the semiconductor is cut with a dedicated blade, the chipping that occurs in the semiconductor strain gauge chip 30 can be kept small as before.

Next, a blade dedicated to insulators (glass) (e.g.
The insulator 28 is cut along the line 40 at a very low speed using a GSD range type blade with a blade width of 300 μm and a grain size of #320. At this time, it is necessary to process the pre-processed groove wall portion of the semiconductor wafer so that the size of the groove is maintained so that it does not come into contact with a coarse-grained blade during glass processing. Generally, the width of the blade is required to be about one-tenth of the processing depth, so for example, when processing glass to a depth of 3 mm, a blade of about 300 μm is required. Therefore, the interval between the semiconductor wafer cutting grooves 36 must be set at 300 μm or more.

Further, by leaving the remaining portion 42 when cutting the insulator, it is possible to maintain a state in which the plurality of semiconductor pressure sensors are connected even after cutting the insulator. Therefore, cleaning of cutting waste can be done all at once, making handling extremely convenient. remaining part 4
2 contains residual strain from machining, so it can be easily broken. Therefore, by dividing each semiconductor strain gauge chip 30 into parts after cleaning, an independent semiconductor pressure sensor can be obtained.

FIG. 3 shows a semiconductor pressure sensor made by the above cutting method. Compared to the conventional method, the grain size of the blade differs depending on the cut portion, so the surface condition of the cut end surface differs, and an etched surface 36 appears at the end of the adhesive interface between the semiconductor wafer and the insulator 28. Furthermore, there is a feature that a remaining portion 42 remains.
