What it is
The Strasbaugh 7 AF Edge is an edge grinder used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn edge grinder removes material from the outer circumference of a wafer or similar substrate using a rotating abrasive tool and controlled motion between the tool and the workpiece. The process is designed to produce a defined edge profile and to manage chipping, cracking, and particle generation at the perimeter.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedEdge grinding sits in the wafer preparation and finishing flow, where it supports downstream processing by conditioning the perimeter before handling, dicing, or later fabrication steps that depend on stable wafer edges.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis class of equipment is used for semiconductor wafers and other precision substrates that need perimeter shaping or edge cleanup as part of manufacturing or rework flows.
