Wafer & dicing tapesfor India’s semiconductor packaging lines

Before a wafer can be cut into individual chips, it is mounted on dicing tape stretched across a film frame. The tape holds every die firmly in place while the saw cuts through the wafer, then releases them cleanly when they are picked for assembly.

What it does

Why wafer & dicing tape matters on the line

  • Holds the wafer and every cut die in position through dicing.
  • Releases dies cleanly at pick-up; UV-curable tapes lose most of their tack after UV exposure, which helps with small or thin dies.
  • Related tapes protect the circuit side of the wafer while it is thinned by back-grinding.

Specifying it

What to define before you buy

  1. 01Wafer diameter and thickness
  2. 02UV-curable or non-UV tape
  3. 03Adhesion level, matched to your die size and pick-up process
  4. 04Tape thickness and roll width for your frame and mounter
  5. 05Whether you also need back-grinding tape
