What it is

The DFL 7361 can accommodate wafers with diameters from 2 inches to 12 inches. The system includes a Type FX Laser Head, a BSS-6 Optics System, and a chuck table that moves in the X and Y directions. The machine features a graphical user interface with touch screen, a high-resolution image processing system with auto focus, and a fully automatic frame handling system.[1][2][6]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Laser saws such as the DFL 7361 operate by focusing a laser beam onto the workpiece to remove material or create internal modifications. The chuck table holds the wafer and moves it in the X and Y axes under the laser. A high-resolution camera and image processing system provide pattern recognition and auto focus for precise alignment. The entire process is automated through software control.

Where it fits in the process flow

The DFL 7361 incorporates a fully automatic frame handling system for loading and unloading cassettes. The system also includes an integrated wafer cleaning system with atomizing nozzle and an independent spin coating system, indicating that cleaning and coating steps can be performed within the machine.[1][2][6]

Frequently asked questions

How does the grinding process work in this class of equipment?General reference — not yet source-verified

The grinding process uses a rotating grinding wheel with abrasive particles that mechanically remove material from the wafer backside, often facilitated by a coolant to manage heat and remove debris. The system can control thickness removal precisely.

What are the main quality factors considered when using these machines?General reference — not yet source-verified

Key factors include die strength after grinding, edge chipping quality during dicing, alignment accuracy for die separation, and overall throughput. Consistency across the wafer and overlay accuracy are critical for yield.

What are the main operational requirements for such a system?General reference — not yet source-verified

Operational requirements generally include cleanroom compatibility, stable environmental conditions (temperature, humidity), proper alignment of input and output cassettes, and regular maintenance of grinding wheels and dicing blades to ensure consistent performance.
