Specific Process Knowledge/Back-end processing/FlexScribe
The Cleaver: FlexScribe is designed for cleaving large wafers into smaller pieces from the frontside. Hence it will leave particles on the frontside of the sample. It works by running a "pizza wheel" over the sample and then breaking it in two by using a pair of pliers. The equipment is placed in the left drawer underneath fumehood 5: Special purposes. When operated the the Cleaver: Flex Scribe should always be placed inside Fume hood 5.
