The DAD 562 is an automatic dicing saw. Disco manufactures the DAD 562.[1]
Dicing 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.
Dicing 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.
Dicing 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.
