Fonon Corporation’s laser-powered BlackStar Wafer Dicing System
helps semiconductor fabricators eliminate defects, distortions,
cracks and chipping during wafer dicing. Powered by Fonon’s
patented Fantom Width Laser Dicing (FWLD) technology, the
innovative next-generation equipment effectively splits brittle
materials with no material waste. The result: a higher die yield
per wafer, with lower production time and costs involved.
The FWLD allows operators to achieve precise molecular-level
splitting of the material with minimal kerf width. The BlackStar’s
automated single-step processing improves the quality of the cut
edges – one of the critical criteria for fracture resistance.
Increased die strength during integrated circuit packaging also
directly impacts dependability and quality.
Fonon’s FWLD technology can produce variable size dies on the
same wafer as well as dicing complex shapes. Each die can be cut
individually regardless of shape, size, or position. The process
can involve using a backing tape frame for stability, along with
dry processing, which eliminates water use and extra handling
steps. The BlackStar can dice a variety of semiconductor materials,
including some compound materials.
BlackStar systems are user- and regulation-friendly while
guaranteeing operational excellence. For these reasons, Fonon’s
FWLD technology continues to gain momentum in this and other
industries working with brittle materials. Fonon’s BlackStar is
manufactured and sold by Laser Photonics.
