What it is
The Disco DAD 552 is an automatic dicing saw.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe wafer is held by vacuum on a porous chuck table, and the blade assembly moves along the X-axis while the table indexes in the Y-axis to follow the dicing streets.
A camera-based alignment system optically locates fiducials or street patterns to ensure accurate cuts, and the saw then executes a programmed cutting sequence.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing is typically performed on a wafer that has been mounted on a dicing tape stretched across a frame, providing support for the individual die after cutting is complete.
After dicing, the separated die are ready for pick-and-place operations that transfer them to packages or substrates.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedBeyond standard die separation, the machine can be applied to singulation of MEMS devices, LEDs, and passive components.
