Kulicke & Soffa
984 6 Dicing
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dicing saw separates processed wafers into individual chips by moving a rotating blade through predefined cut streets. Dicing saws generally combine wafer mounting, alignment, spindle motion, and controlled feed motion so the blade can cut the substrate while limiting damage to adjacent die.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing equipment is used late in semiconductor manufacturing after wafer fabrication and after any needed backgrinding or thinning steps. Dicing equipment prepares singulated die for subsequent handling steps such as inspection, sorting, packaging, or assembly.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing saws are used to singulate semiconductor wafers into individual die for device manufacturing. Dicing saws are also used on other wafer-like substrates and packaged substrate forms when precision cut separation is required.
