## [Wafer Singulation FAQ](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/wafer-singulation-faq)

Mar 9, 2022 | [Plasma Processing Technology](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/plasma-processing-technology), [Wafer Singulation](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/wafer-singulation) 

 What is wafer singulation? Wafer singulation is the process of cutting or dicing a finished wafer into individual chips. Integrated circuits are typically built on a thin, round wafer of silicon used as the substrate for wafer processing for semiconductor manufacturing. The slices of silicon can be up to 18 inches and contain hundreds to thousands of individual die. The dicing process, or singulation process, is where a wafer dicing technique is used to cut each die with a diamond blade, laser, or plasma into individual chips that can be later mounted and assembled in advanced packaging....

## [How to Resolve Vacuum Chamber Issues](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/how-to-resolve-vacuum-chamber-issues)

Oct 5, 2021 | [Featured Solutions](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/featured-solutions), [Plasma Processing Technology](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/plasma-processing-technology) 

 Few issues haunt plasma processing quite like vacuum chamber problems. Plasma etching and plasma deposition tools require vacuum to be able to maintain the plasma and control the gas composition in the process. Other non-plasma deposition processes such as physical vapor deposition require a vacuum for the deposition species to reach the substrate without colliding with gas in the chamber. Creating and maintaining the vacuum can be complicated but is crucial to the success of the process....

## [3 Specialized Etch Processes for Photonics Fabrication](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/3-specialized-etch-processes-for-photonics-fabrication)

Sep 29, 2021 | [Plasma Processing Technology](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/plasma-processing-technology), [Deposition Tools](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/deposition-tools), [Etching Tools](https://corial.plasmatherm.com/en/blog/tag/etching-tools) 

 There are typical etch processes that are used in nearly every process flow, but there are also specialized etch processes that are specific to unique aspects of the application. Photonics manufacturing is no exception. Whether fabricating image sensors or photonic circuits, dry etch processes will be key to creating features with excellent optical properties....
