Laser Marking: Enhancing Component Identification in Semiconductor Manufacturing

In the semiconductor industry, the need for precise, durable, and easily traceable components is paramount. Laser marking is a vital process that meets these demands, providing clear, permanent markings on semiconductor wafers and components. At American Precision Dicing (APD), we excel in delivering high-quality laser marking services tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

What is Laser Marking?

Laser marking involves the use of a focused laser beam to etch or engrave detailed information onto semiconductor materials. These markings can include serial numbers, barcodes, logos, or other critical identification data. The process is non-contact, ensuring that the wafers and components remain undamaged and maintain their integrity throughout the manufacturing process.

The Laser Marking Process

1. Material Preparation: The surface of the wafer or component is cleaned and prepared for marking.

2. Precision Marking: A laser engraves the required information onto the material. The laser’s intensity and speed are carefully controlled to achieve the desired mark without damaging the material.

3. Verification: Each marked wafer is inspected for clarity and accuracy to ensure compliance with industry standards.

4. Packaging: After marking and inspection, wafers are carefully packaged to prevent any damage during transportation.

Applications of Laser Marking

Laser marking is used across various stages of semiconductor manufacturing, including wafer identification, component tracking, and branding. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of materials, such as silicon, ceramics, and metals, ensuring that every component can be reliably identified throughout its lifecycle.
