What it is

The DCS1440 is an automatic cleaning system manufactured by Disco Corporation. The DCS1440 is designed to clean workpieces that have been cut on a dicing saw. The DCS1440 is a manual-load system that supports Φ3- to 8-inch tape frames. The DCS1440 can accommodate square workpieces up to 250 x 250 mm as an option. The DCS1440 features a 4-inch LCD touch panel for operation.[2][3]

How it works

The DCS1440 uses a rotating table and one or two cleaning arms. The table rotates at speeds from 100 to 3000 min⁻¹. The cleaning arm sweep speed and cleaning locations are configurable. The system offers a standard high-pressure cleaning nozzle and an optional atomizing cleaning nozzle. The atomizing nozzle generates a mist by mixing fluid droplets with accelerated air; this mist collides with the surface at high speed, creating shockwaves that clean with minimal damage. Cleaning and drying times can be set from 0 to 999 seconds. The cleaning range is Φ365 mm.[2][3]

Applications

The DCS1440 is used for cleaning singulated dies and wafer pieces after dicing. The DCS1440 can process workpieces mounted on tape frames from 3 to 8 inches. The optional atomizing nozzle enables cleaning of delicate structures with reduced damage. The double cleaning arm configuration allows simultaneous use of both high-pressure and atomizing nozzles for versatile cleaning.[2][3]
