Manual & Semiautomatic Dicing Saw

Advanced Dicing Technologies Ltd. (ADT) is a leading dicing saw manufacturer, developing and producing dicing saws and related equipment used worldwide to dice and scribe semiconductor wafers and other hard material’s, including glass, ceramic substrates, ferrite, MEMS and for package singulation.

ADT produces an extensive range of manually through semi and fully automatic dicing equipment to suit a wide range of application requirements, from semiconductor research and development, through to medium and high volume production applications.

Systems are used for precision cutting of glass, sapphire and ceramic components from 50mm diameter, through 300mm silicon and compound semiconductor wafers. A large area system enables substrates and panels up to 450x600mm to be diced or scribed.

With high power machines for cutting thicker and harder materials, single or dual spindle configurations and spindles mounted either perpendicular or tilted to the samples being cut, ADT offer the most comprehensive range of manual and semi-automatic dicing saw’s, models include:

What is a Wafer Dicing Saw?

A wafer dicing saw is a precision tool used in semiconductor fabrication, which accurately separates patterned wafers into individual chips (dies) prior to packaging. Traditional systems use diamond blades rotating at high speeds to cut in the spaces (streets) between the dies. Alternative methods, such as laser or plasma dicing, are sometimes used to process specific materials and very thin wafers.

Key Components of a Diamond Dicing Saw:

  • Spindle and Blade: Precisely rotates the blade at high speed for wafer separation.
  • Chuck: Holds the wafer securely during the cutting process.
  • X-Y Stage: Moves the wafer under the diamond blade for accurate cutting paths.
  • Vision Alignment: Aligns wafer streets with the blade for precision.
  • Coolant System: Delivers fluid to cool the blade and reduce contamination.
  • Control Interface: Allows operators to set parameters and monitor cutting.
