Abstract

A wafer and a method of making a wafer containing a plurality of severable transducer chips includes a wafer; a plurality of transducer chips formed on the wafer; and a grid of longitudinal and latitudinal grooves in the wafer for separating the chips from each other and enabling them to be easily, individually severed from the wafer, as well as a transducer chip and a method of making it, having integral raised contacts adapted for a flip chip or beam lead interconnection, with a transducer formed on the chip; and a plurality of raised contacts integrally formed with the chip and electrically interconnected with the transducer.
