Abstract

A method of forming a slotted substrate that includes patterning a thin film over a substrate so that at least a portion of the substrate within a slot region is not covered by the thin film. In addition, a slot is formed in the substrate through the slot region that extends through the substrate and the thin film, wherein a chip count in a shelf surrounding the slot is minimized when the slot is formed in the substrate through the thin film in the slot region.
