What it is
The DAD 562 is an automatic dicing saw. Disco manufactures the DAD 562.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing saws cut wafers using a rotating abrasive blade mounted on a precision spindle. The blade is typically a diamond-impregnated disc that grinds a narrow street through the wafer material. The wafer is held on a tape frame, which is moved by a high-precision XY stage under the blade.
Automatic dicing saws incorporate optical alignment to locate the saw blade relative to the wafer's street pattern. Once aligned, the saw executes a predetermined cutting program without operator intervention. The cutting process is cooled and cleaned by a water stream that also carries away debris.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing is part of the back-end wafer processing sequence. The dicing step follows wafer thinning and precedes die bonding. After dicing, individual chips are picked and placed for packaging.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDicing saws are used primarily in semiconductor device fabrication to singulate dies from a wafer. The equipment also cuts brittle materials such as glass, ceramics, and compound semiconductors.
