The phrase wafer slicing vs wafer dicing<\/strong> sounds like a choice between two rival cutting methods. It\u2019s not. Wafer slicing vs wafer dicing is really a question about two sequential production stages, not two competing tools. Slicing and dicing are two different jobs done at opposite ends of a wafer\u2019s life: slicing turns a crystalline ingot into bare wafers at the very start, and dicing cuts a finished, circuit-bearing wafer into individual dies at the very end. Confusing the two leads buyers to compare machines that were never alternatives, and to ignore where their real material and cost losses happen.<\/p>\n

Short answer: (front-end) wafer slicing turns a crystalline traditional inyog (or SiC\/sapphire) into a thin wafer using a diamond wire saw<\/a>. (back-end) wafer dicing turns a finished (completes the product life cycle) wafer into hundreds of dies by singulation using a laser, plasma, or stealth process die-saw or blade saw (dicing saw) or dicing technique (for example a stealth process). They’re stages that run one after the other on a single piece of material, in that order, not choices between one or the other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
