Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A production method for a semiconductor element ( 10 ) includes: a semiconductor element forming step of forming the semiconductor element ( 10 ) including a dielectric film ( 3 ); a dicing region forming step of forming dicing regions ( 11 ) by removing the dielectric film ( 3 ) in partition regions that partition the semiconductor element ( 10 ); and a dicing step of dicing the dicing regions ( 11 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A production method for a semiconductor element comprising: a semiconductor element forming step of forming a plurality of semiconductor elements by forming a dielectric film on a GaN-based semiconductor film formed on a substrate; a dicing region forming step of forming groove-shaped dicing regions by removing the dielectric film in partition regions that partition the plurality of semiconductor elements; and a dicing step of separating the plurality of semiconductor elements from each other by dicing the dicing regions. 2 . The production method for a semiconductor element according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric film remains at the both side portions of the partition region in the dicing region forming step. 3 . The production method for a semiconductor element according to claim 1 wherein a dicing blade is used in the dicing step. 4 . The production method for a semiconductor element according to claim 3 , wherein the dicing blade includes at least a uniaxial rotary blade that cuts the GaN-based semiconductor film and a biaxial rotary blade that cuts the substrate, and wherein the dicing is performed by a step cut method in the dicing step. 5 . A semiconductor element that is separated from a semiconductor wafer, the semiconductor element comprising: a GaN-based semiconductor film formed on a substrate; and a dielectric film formed on the GaN-based semiconductor film, wherein the semiconductor element is separated from the semiconductor wafer by dicing dicing regions from which the dielectric film is removed.
