In semiconductor manufacturing, precision is paramount. The processes of die sorting, picking, placing, and labeling are critical in ensuring that each semiconductor die meets the highest standards of quality. At American Precision Dicing, Inc. (APD), we leverage advanced technology and expertise to offer die handling services that enhance productivity, reduce waste, and ensure accuracy throughout the manufacturing process.
Understanding Die Sort, Pick, Place, and Labeling
Die Sorting: After wafer dicing, the dies are inspected to separate functional dies from defective ones. This step is crucial as it determines the quality of the final product. At APD, our sorting systems use optical and electrical testing to ensure only the best dies proceed to the next stage.
Die Picking: Once sorted, functional dies are carefully picked from the wafer. APD’s automated pick-and-place machines handle this with precision, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring that dies are ready for packaging or further processing.
Die Placing: After picking, dies need to be accurately placed onto carriers, substrates, or lead frames. Precision in placement is essential for the subsequent bonding and packaging processes. APD’s high-precision equipment ensures that each die is placed with exact alignment, supporting both low and high-volume production.
Labeling: Accurate labeling is essential for traceability, quality control, and compliance with industry standards. At APD, we offer advanced labeling solutions, including laser marking, which provides durable and precise identification of each die. This ensures that every die can be tracked throughout the manufacturing and distribution process.
