While not always mandatory, the use of photoresist is strongly recommended for optimal protection during the dicing process, particularly for delicate materials or when stringent cleanliness standards must be upheld.

Photoresist is advised for dicing applications where the material's integrity and cleanliness are paramount concerns, ensuring a protective layer against potential damage or contamination during the precision cutting process.

With our cutting-edge equipment, we consistently achieve precision down to the micron level, ensuring that we meet the exacting standards of our clients. Typically, we maintain an impressive accuracy of +/- 10 microns, showcasing our commitment to delivering top-notch results.

Chipping is measured using a calibrated microscope. Viewing the topside of the part, find the largest chip along the edge of the kerf. Measure the distance from the edge of the kerf to the top of the chip. Backside chipping is measured the same way, but the part has to be removed from the holding medium and flipped over to expose the backside.
