I think laser dicing is the best scenario for the application/situation
that you are entretaining.
Not difficult to implement!

> Dear mems-talk community,
> We have a standard Si wafer that we would like to dice into smaller 1cm x
> 1cm square pieces.
>
> The challenge is below:
> 1. We have very delicate structures on the Si wafer. So, we cannot flow
> *strong* air and/or water on Si wafer while dicing. The *strong* flow of
> air/wafer damages the delicate structures.* Here, it is very important to
> emphasize that, the main contributors to the damage are strong water flow
> and/or strong air flow.*
>
> As part of the solution,
> We can sacrifice a blade of a dicing saw (~30 USD), and just try to dice
> the wafer without water/air flow. However, we are concerned that we may be
> damaging more than just the blade of the dicing saw when we do not let
> air/water flow during dicing. In case you wonder, the dicing saw is from
> DISCO, and the type is DAD3220.
>
> Also,
> We may try spinning photoresist on the wafer to protect the delicate
> structures, but we are reluctant about spinning photoresist as well, due to
> some requirements on the final structures.
>
> Any comments from you who might have had this or similar experience in the
> past or currently, would really be appreciated.
>
> Thanks in advance.
