After that process, the wafer is then inverted and attached to a dicing frame while a grinding process thins out the wafer from the backside until the separation of the wafer into die occurs. The DAG process performs the wafer thinning step first, then attaches the thinned wafer to a taped dicing frame and the etching is performed to create ...
DBG (Dicing Before Grinding)*1 process is capable of reducing backside chipping by separating the dies during grinding, which also improves die strength. In addition, because the wafer is separated into dies at the end of the grinding process, a reduction in the risk of wafer breakage can be expected during thin grinding.
SDBG is the process of performing backside grinding after Stealth Dicing™ process. It produces narrow streets on thin die and improves die strength. Using a die separator ( DDS Series) after SDBG, it is possible to precisely separate the DAF (die attach film) which is used as a bonding material when laminating thin die.

(a) BD method (b) SD method (c) Process Flow Fig. 6: Comparison of actual processes In the SD method, stealth dicing is performed from the ground back surface after the back grinding (BG) process.
DBG (dicing before grinding) process is popular thinning process for ultra-thin chip. But, dicing wafers always causes chip side and surface chipping. This defect on chip faces become source of chip-cracks. SDBG (stealth dicing before grinding) process is a novel process known as SD (stealth dicing) offers a potential defect-free singulation ...
Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) is a dry plasma process which can etch very narrow, deep vertical trenches into silicon (known as dicing "streets") to separate individual die. Plasma dicing can either occur before grinding (DBG - Dice Before Grind) or after grinding (DAG – Dice After Grind).
grinding and dicing process versus DBG [2,4,5]. Die Attach Film (DAF) separation will not be discussed also in this paper. Fig. 1 shows the conventional wafer preparation flow with mechanical grinding and dicing process. Processes composed of Wafer Taping, …
DBG reverses the usual process of fully dicing the wafer after grinding. In DBG, the wafer is first trenched, or partial-cut, to a depth greater than the final target thickness. The wafer is then thinned to the final target resulting in die separation.
Dicing & Grinding Tape FAQs Frequently Asked Questions on Dicing Tape and Grinding Tape & Grease The following are some of the typical processes for using dicing and grinding tapes: Lamination Process for Dicing Adhesive Film to Wafer-Substrate Application: Attaching wafer, substrate, and components before dicing, cutting, grinding or other operations. Material: Melt-bonding dicing film […]
Accreditations & Certs. Quality Assurance is smart business for both the customer and supplier alike. Like any worthwhile investment with promises of a future return, GDSI has invested heavily in the establishment of a "quality" culture defined by our Quality Management System or "QMS".
In the conventional packaging process of semiconductor manufacturing (TGM, Thin Grinding Mounting), the substrate (wafer) is ground to the designated thickness and then die separation (dicing, cutting process) is performed.
Dicing before grinding (DBG) Dicing before grinding process (DBG) The wafer is initially grooved by using a Half Cut Dicing process. Subsequently, back grinding is performed until reaching the groove and, thus, separating the dies. Dicing before grinding …

Dicing is a circumferential grinding process applying thin grinding wheels. Quite frequently, in Micro Electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS), the functional surface of interest generated by this process is the kerf sidewall. For a detailed understanding of the dicing process, a profound knowledge of the interactions in the contact area between the ...

The Applications of a TAIKO Wafer. The TAIKO process is a wafer backgrinding method developed by DISCO. This process method leaves a ring (approximately 3 mm) on the wafer outer edge and thin grinds only the inner area of the backside wafer. By leaving this edge ring, it is possible to reduce the risks of wafer breakage or edge chipping.
The addition of the Stealth Laser Dicing® Process fortifies our line of mechanical saws, which has been the de facto dicing standard for decades. The Stealth concept is ideal for active surfaces due to its non-contact method of wafer separation, sparing the device layer from exposure to water, sawdust, mechanical shock and loss of real estate ...
For this reason, if the thickness of a wafer is 50㎛ or less, the process order can be changed. In this case, a Dicing before Grinding (DBC) method is used, where sawing for a wafer is performed to half the level, before the first grinding. In the order of dicing, grinding and dicing, chips are separated safely from wafers.
Back-grinding tape. SDBG (Stealth Dicing Before Grinding) and GAL (Grinding After Laser) process is recommended to achieve thin wafer. For the SDBG/GAL process, we are developing new tape.
A method for preparing a semiconductor wafer into individual semiconductor dies using both a dicing before grinding operation and a wafer back side adhesive coating includes the step of applying a water or organic solvent soluble material into the partially cut/etched dicing lines and over the top surface of the circuits to prevent the ingress of wafer back side coating into the dicing streets ...
Today, grinding is the most conventional thinning process used by semiconductor applications, reducing wafers from an average starting thickness of 750 μm to 120 μm. However, below 100 μm silicon wafers become very flexible and challenging to thin down further using only standard grinding methods due to stress in high volume manufacturing ...
Wafer backgrinding is a semiconductor device fabrication step during which wafer thickness is reduced to allow stacking and high-density packaging of integrated circuits (IC).. ICs are produced on semiconductor wafers that undergo a multitude of processing steps. The silicon wafers predominantly used today have diameters of 200 and 300 mm. They are roughly 750 μm thick to ensure a minimum …
