Our state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated team allow us to continuously refine our processes, guaranteeing reliable and efficient solutions for a wide range of applications

Wafer Dicing Service

At APD, wafer dicing is not just our core competency; it's our passion. We employ cutting-edge dicing technologies to deliver unparalleled precision and quality. Our experienced team expertly handles a variety of materials, ensuring minimal damage and maximum yield. Whether for semiconductor, photonics, or MEMS applications, we guarantee optimal results and consistent quality for all your wafer dicing needs.

Wafer Coring

Resizing a wafer to reduce its diameter, or coring, often requires additional processing. APD specializes in precise wafer coring services to meet your specific dimensions. Our expertise ensures minimal material loss and optimal quality, making the wafers suitable for further processing and integration. We handle each wafer with precision to achieve the desired size without compromising structural integrity.

Laser marking

APD's laser marking process uses state-of-the-art lasers to etch serial numbers and other identifiers onto wafers without contact. This method provides permanent, high-contrast markings without damaging the wafer. Our laser marking services offer clear and durable identification, facilitating superior inventory management and traceability. We support various marking needs, including logos, text, and complex codes.

Photoresist

To protect the wafer surface from down-stream processes, a layer of photoresist is often applied. This essential step ensures that sensitive areas remain intact during subsequent manufacturing stages. APD uses advanced photoresist application techniques to provide a robust shield against potential contaminants and physical damage, preserving the integrity of your wafers.

Die Sort, Pick, Place and Labeling

Our Die Pick & Place and Sort/Label process is a critical complement to the wafer dicing process, ensuring seamless integration in your workflow. APD offers meticulous die sorting, picking, placing, and labeling services to enhance your production efficiency. We guarantee precise handling and accurate labeling, improving traceability and streamlining your assembly line operations.

Managed Services

APD extends its capabilities through strategic partnerships, offering managed services that ensure comprehensive solutions. Our collaborations with industry-leading experts allow us to deliver exceptional results in areas such as wafer backgrinding and acquisition. By leveraging our partners' strengths, we provide a holistic approach to meet diverse needs, maintaining our commitment to quality and reliability.

Wafer Backgrinding

Also known as thinning, wafer backgrinding is essential for achieving desired thickness in silicon wafers. APD's backgrinding services ensure uniform thickness and smooth surfaces, enhancing the performance and durability of your wafers. Our precision techniques minimize stress and damage, preserving the integrity of the wafers throughout the process.

Wafer Acquisition

Procuring the right wafer can be challenging, but APD simplifies this process. Our expert wafer acquisition services source high-quality wafers tailored to your specifications. Leveraging our extensive network and industry expertise, we find the best materials at competitive prices, reducing your procurement challenges and lead times.
