What it is
The model designation is DTG 8440, and the equipment name associated with it is Disco DTG 8440 Taiko Grinder.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dicing and grinding machine combines mechanical thinning with wafer singulation-related processing. In this class of equipment, a wafer is held on a support system while abrasive or cutting actions remove material from the back side or along planned separation lines, depending on the process sequence used.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis type of equipment sits in the back-end wafer process flow, after front-end device fabrication and before or alongside separation into individual dies. Grinding is used when wafer thinning is needed, and dicing is used when chips must be separated from the wafer.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMachines of this class are used for semiconductor wafers that need thinning, singulation, or both. They are common in packaging-related flows where finished wafer thickness and controlled die separation are important.
