Description

The scriber-breaker uses a dry scribing and breaking technique to allow cleaner separation of dies on a wafer than can be done with a wet cutting saw. Some advantages are that the elimination of deionized water protects delicate structures on the wafer surface, decreasing street sizes of existing wafers, and allowing for the dicing of difficult-to-manage substrates. Many compound semiconductors can be challenging when dicing, and the dry scribe-break technology is successful for such materials.

Applications
  • Scribing and/or breaking wafers
