7100 Dicing
Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The ADT 7100 Dicing Saw is an automated dicing saw with a precision dicing and alignment system. The ADT 7100 Dicing Saw has a 2-inch DC-brushless, 1.2 kW, front-mounted, air-bearing spindle. The ADT 7100 Dicing Saw is optimized for multi-angle dicing of thin, tight-tolerance products up to 200 mm x 200 mm.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
The ADT 7100 uses a specified blade selected according to substrate type to cut or scribe the wafer. The ADT 7100 user interface includes recipe parameters such as cutting speed, depth, street, index, and blade information. The ADT 7100 procedure includes system initialization, recipe assignment, blade change functions, wafer loading, alignment, and cut position definition.[7][8]
The ADT 7100 has a precision dicing and alignment system. The ADT 7100 is an automated tool with a DC brushless front mounted air bearing spindle, a closed loop turntable, and optimization for multi angle dicing of thin tight tolerance products up to 200 mm x 200 mm. The ADT 7100 has a maximum substrate size of 8 inch.[2][1]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing saws are used after wafer fabrication and after any thinning or backside preparation needed before singulation. Dicing saws hand off individual die or diced substrate pieces to downstream assembly, packaging, inspection, or device level handling steps.
Applications
Why won't it start?
Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.
- Main cause of broken blades is having the saw descend directly onto the sample.
