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.
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Kulicke & Soffa 982-6 is a wafer dicing saw used in semiconductor manufacturing to singulate individual die from a processed wafer.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA wafer dicing saw uses a high-speed rotating diamond-impregnated blade to cut along the scribe lines of a wafer, separating it into individual chips.
The blade is mounted on an air-bearing spindle and is cooled by deionized water to prevent thermal damage and to flush away debris.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing saws are used in the back-end assembly process, after wafer fabrication and electrical test, to separate the wafer into individual die.
Singulation is followed by die attach, wire bonding or flip-chip bonding, and encapsulation.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer dicing saws are used to cut silicon wafers as well as wafers made from compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide, silicon carbide, and other materials used in microelectronics and optoelectronics.
