Disco Automatic dicing saw, model DAD321
The dicer feature versatile processing capabilities, compact designs, and high precision and reliability. Users perform workpiece loading, alignment, and unloading manually.
The dicer at DANCHIP is placed in room 157 on the first floor in bldg. 346. Please notice that this is not a cleanroom and that the dicing process is very dirty. Think about how to clean your samples if you want to bring them back in the cleanroom.

Comparing dicing parameters for different materials
| Silicon | Pyrex or bonded Si/Pyrex | |
|---|---|---|
| Bladetype | HUB Blade ZH05 (27HEEF) | HUBless Blade B1A862 |
| Blade width | 50 µm | 150 µm |
| Cutlinewidth | 60 µm | 180 - 200 µm |
| Recommended feed speed | Up to 20 mm/sec | Up to 2 mm/sec (0.5 mm/sec) |
| Recommended dice depth | Set blade height to 200µm (preferred). This leaves 125µm uncut since blue tape is 75µm. It is possible to cut through the sample. |
