Wafers require careful handling to ensure narrow die streets and prevent edge chipping after dicing.
The TEX-21 Series Die Matrix Expanders evenly expand/separate wafers in the X and Y directions so that die streets cross all chips.
This eliminates waste and facilitates chip pickup to make mounting in die-bonding processes more efficient and problem-free.
After expansion, grip rings that pinch the outer ring and inner ring help keep separated wafers on the tape in the expanded state.
