What it is

The ADT 8020 is a fully automatic twin dicing system designed for semiconductor wafer singulation. The machine supports workpieces up to 8 inches in diameter and features two facing spindles that enable simultaneous dicing for higher throughput. The ADT 8020 is classified under the dicing and grinding category in semiconductor manufacturing equipment.[1][3][2]

How it works

The ADT 8020 employs two facing spindles that can each carry a dicing blade up to 3 inches in diameter. The spindles operate at a maximum rotational speed of 60,000 rpm and are available in power ratings of 1.8 kW or 2.4 kW. The X-axis uses an air-bearing feed slide capable of moving at up to 600 mm/second, while the Y axes use ball-bearing lead screws with linear encoders that provide a cumulative accuracy of 1.5 micrometers.[2]

The system includes an automatic alignment function, automatic cut verification, automatic kerf inspection, and automatic Y-offset correction. A vision system with a USB3 camera and high-brightness LED illumination (vertical and oblique) assists in positioning and inspection. The user interface consists of two touch screens: a 19-inch main monitor and a 17-inch maintenance screen running a New Graphic User Interface (NUI) on Windows 7. A cleaner station provides full rinse and dry cycles with spinning speeds from 100 to 2,000 rpm and atomized cleaning capabilities.[2]

Applications

The ADT 8020 is applied to dicing of silicon wafers for discrete devices, silicon carbide (SiC) substrates, MEMS devices, SAW filters, glass wafers, and packaged devices such as QFN and LED packages. The machine supports hub and hubless blades, and its dual-spindle configuration provides flexibility for a range of workpiece materials and thicknesses.[2]
