A precision machine is used to cut semiconductor wafers into individual chips or dice.
A programmable spindle speed and variable feed rate allow maximum dicing control and repeatability.
Wafers are held to chuck table by means of vacuum and chuck can accommodate circular and rectangular wafers.
An extremely thin diamond blade is used to dice, cut, or groove semiconductor wafers, silicon, glass, ceramic, crystal, and many other types of material.
