The Cleaver: LatticeAxe is designed for cleaving wafers into smaller pieces without leaving any particles on the sample. It works by making a small mark in the side of the sample that is then used as a start point for the cleaving.

The equipment is placed in the left drawer underneath fumehood 5: Special purposes. When operated the the Cleaver: lattice axe should always be placed inside Fume hood 5.

Approved Materials:

  • Si
  • Quartz
  • Pyrex (Borofloat 33)
  • GaAs
  • InP
  • Sapphire

The LatticeAxe can cleave samples from 100mm down to 10mm. In some cases it can even be used on larger samples please contact wetchemistry group for more information

DTU-Nanolab has 3 different types of Cleavers see the Labadviser pages for the FlexScribe and the FlipScribe for more information.
