Wafer Dicing


Dicing: Precision, Control & Repeatability

We have documented nearly 30 years of dicing experience. As a global supplier for complex dicing programs, GDSI anticipates future challenges by investing in advanced processes and tooling required to complete the assignment. Mechanical dicing is a well understood technique applied to a wide array of material types but may be ill suited for trends toward product miniaturization, MEMS and WLCSP. Smaller transistors enable increased density, low power consumption, lower cost per transistor and faster switching. At the same time, this trend poses vexing problems for wafer singulation due to the adoption of Cu/low-k dielectrics, shrinking scribe line widths, ultra-thin wafers and many other physical hurdles. GDSI and its valued OEM partners are well suited to address your individual requirement whether it calls for an optimized saw process, Stealth laser dicing process or any combination of mechanical and laser disciplines to get the job done.
