Abstract
Methods for processing a substrate are provided. The method includes receiving a substrate. The substrate has a front side surface, a backside surface, and a side edge surface. The method also includes forming a first material in a first annular region of the front side surface, resulting in the first annular being coated with the first material. The first annular region is immediately adjacent to a perimeter of the substrate. The first annular region has a first outer perimeter proximate to the perimeter of the substrate and a first inner perimeter away from the perimeter of the substrate. The method also includes forming a second material in an interior region of the front side surface, the second material coating the front side surface without adhering to the annular region.
