Fully Automatic Dry Etcher 8000 Series

Dry Etcher
The 8000 Series fully-automatic dry etcher is a stress relief unit that performs etching using fluoride gas plasma. Removing the grinding damage layer from the wafer backside lowers wafer breakage and warpage, and improves chip strength. It also raises the yield for package processing. When the DBG process combines with dry etching, in addition to removing the grinding damage from the chip backside, removal of the cutting damage from the half-cut process is also achieved. Compared to stress relief of just the wafer backside, DBG processing with dry etching secures greater die strength.
