Substrate processing method with dummy patterns and stencil mask
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11895779B2) discloses a substrate processing method involving several key steps. The method includes preparing a substrate with upper and lower surfaces, forming dummy patterns and grooves on the substrate, arranging a stencil mask with multiple opening patterns, coating the substrate through the openings, and separating the dummy pattern to divide the substrate into pieces. Notably, the grooves penetrate the substrate in a specific direction, ensuring the exposed surface of the body portion is correctly positioned. The method also involves the precise formation of coated regions on the side and upper surfaces of the body portion, separated by intervals to achieve desired outcomes.
Furthermore, the patent details additional steps and configurations to enhance the substrate processing method. These include the stencil mask covering specific areas, the connection of the dummy pattern to the substrate only on one end, and the formation of grooves to facilitate the coating process. The method also involves the formation of an insulating layer on the end surface of the body portion, further refining the substrate processing technique. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to substrate processing, incorporating intricate steps and configurations to achieve precise and efficient results in dividing and coating substrates for various applications.
