Dicing is the process in which semiconductor wafers such as MEMS and IC’s are singulated into individual die before package assembly. This is an automated process to ensure precision and accuracy. Depending on the substrate material and thickness, we use different dicing blade thicknesses and materials to saw wafers. Our dicing services include wafer inspection and die sorting if required. Diced wafers can be shipped on the tape hoop, or sorted into waffle pack or Gel-pak. For more information you can call or send us an email to discuss your wafer dicing needs.
