microDICE™ (TLS-Dicing) - Fast, Clean, and Cost Effective Wafer Dicing |
|
The microDICE™ laser micromachining system leverages TLS-Dicing™ (thermal laser separation) – a unique technology that uses thermally induced mechanical forces to separate brittle semiconductor materials, such as silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), germanium (Ge) and gallium arsenide (GaAs), into dies with outstanding edge quality while increasing manufacturing yield and throughput. Compared to traditional separation technologies, such as saw dicing and laser ablation, TLS-Dicing™ enables a clean process, micro-crack-free edges, and higher resulting bending strength.

- Nearly no chipping and micro cracks
- Highest bending strength
- Best electrical characteristics
|
Cost advantages and efficiency |
- High throughput due to high process speed
- Low cost of ownership due to no wear and nearly no consumables
- Zero kerf cleaving with nearly no particle generation
|
|
|
Suited for:
- Semiconductor wafer dicing: Si, SiC, Ge, GaAs
- Thin wafer “TAIKO Cut”
- Wafer resizing
