Welcome to a new advanced Scribe & Fracture system designed from the ground up to improve process throughput, yield, accuracy and reliability using a dustless, water-free process.

How it works:

A wafer is mounted on a Diamond Touch patented DiaFrame™ wafer carrier.

Using the Diamond Touch DS scribing machine or, in the case of very hard surfaces such as silicon carbide, a DS saw, the wafer is scribed, causing a micro-seed fracture approximately 4-10 um deep below each scribe line.

A metered puff of clean air through the pourous chuck causes the DiaFrame™ to return to its relaxed, domed shape and, at supersonic speed, fractures all the scribe lines along each scribe line.

System description

The entire system has been designed with off-the-shelf components. Standard Intel- based microprocessors, stepper motors and even the power supplies. Inherent incorporation of hardware plug and play service eases service and results in highest available MTBF (>2500 hours) and shortest MTTR (<2.5 hours).
