A Study on Ultraprecision Dicing Machining of Silicon Wafer

실리콘 웨이퍼의 초정밀 절단가공에 관한 연구

Recently, the miniature of electric products such as notebook, cellular-phone etc. is apparently appeared, due to the smaller size of the semiconductor chips. As the size of chip gets smaller, the circuit could be easily damaged by the slightest influence, so it is important to control the chipping generation in the process of dicing. This paper deals with chipping of the silicon wafer dicing. The relationships between the dicing force and the wafer chipping are investigated. It is confirmed that the wafer chipping increases as the dicing force increases.
