What it is

The Disco DFD 6340 is an automatic dicing saw.[4][2][3][11][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dicing saw separates processed wafers into individual die by moving a cutting blade along programmed scribe or street locations.

A machine in this class normally combines precision wafer handling, axis motion, and spindle-driven cutting to produce narrow cuts with controlled chip formation.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dicing saw sits near the end of wafer processing, after front-side device fabrication and before die-level assembly.

The machine supports singulation work that follows wafer preparation and precedes downstream packaging or handling of individual chips.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dicing saw is used for wafer singulation in semiconductor production.

A machine of this class is also used where controlled cutting or grinding is needed on processed wafers or similar precision substrates.
