The Meyer Burger TS 23 ID Saw is an inner-diameter saw used in semiconductor dicing processes.[1][2][3][4]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn ID saw is a precision cutting machine used to slice brittle materials with a circular blade whose cutting edge is formed on the inner diameter. ID saws are commonly used where controlled kerf, stable blade geometry, and careful handling of hard or fragile workpieces are important.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn ID saw operates by rotating a tensioned ring blade and feeding the workpiece into the blade opening so the inner cutting edge performs the cut. ID saws generally use precise fixturing, controlled feed motion, and coolant during cutting to manage heat, debris, and edge quality.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedID sawing is typically a singulation or slicing step that follows crystal growth, ingot preparation, or substrate preparation, depending on the product being made. ID sawing generally precedes lapping, grinding, polishing, cleaning, inspection, or downstream assembly steps that require dimensioned pieces or separated parts.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedID saws are used for precision cutting of brittle crystalline and ceramic materials in semiconductor and related manufacturing. ID saws are commonly applied where wafers, bars, blocks, or substrates must be sectioned with controlled damage and consistent geometry before later thinning or finishing operations.
