Semiconductor Dicing Equipment

Summary : Dicing equipment is used to cut apart individual die on a wafer. Typically, a dicing saw will cut along the wafer in an unused section between dice that is called the 'street'. · Such streets are typically three mils wide. Dicing equipment becomes more critical as 'streets' become narrower.
