What it is

The Nitto DR 8500 II Taper is lab and support equipment used as a wafer mounter or tape wafer mounter.[3][4][1][5]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer mounter holds a wafer on a tape or related support medium so the wafer can be handled in later manufacturing steps.

A taper in this class supports wafer mounting and tape handling functions in the equipment flow.

Where it fits in the process flow

The DR 8500 II Taper fits into front end wafer handling and support operations.[3]

Applications

The DR 8500 II Taper is used in semiconductor wafer handling and support tasks.[3][4][1]
