US Patent 11938562 Systems and methods for laser dicing of bonded structures

Embodiments of systems and methods for dicing a bonded structure are provided. A method for dicing a bonded structure includes thinning a top surface and a bottom surface of a bonded structure. The bonded structure may have a first wafer and a second wafer bonded with a bonding interface. The method may also include forming a series of ablation structures in the first wafer and the second wafer. The series of ablation structures may be between a first part and a second part of the bonded structure. The method may also include separating the first part and the second part of the bonded structure along the series of ablation structures.
