Abstract
A method of splitting a semiconductor wafer includes: inducing a first stress distribution in the semiconductor wafer by exposing the semiconductor wafer to a first radiation process; inducing a second stress distribution in the semiconductor wafer by exposing the semiconductor wafer to a second radiation process, the second radiation process including applying laser energy to an edge of the semiconductor wafer; and splitting the semiconductor wafer after inducing the first stress distribution and the second stress distribution.
