Development of the DAS8930 surface planer supporting 300 mm wafers for high-precision cutting and planarization of ductile materials such as metal, resin and their composites

DISCO Corporation has developed the DAS8930, an automatic surface planer supporting 300 mm wafers that reduces both bump height variation and surface roughness at the same time by high-precision cutting and planarization of bumps on LCD drivers and TSV wafer surfaces.

Development Background

In recent years, the pitch for bump bonding substrates and drivers is becoming finer and finer along with the high integration of LCD driver. In the flip-chip bonding, a method by which the pattern surface of a die is directly mounted to a substrate via a bump, the possibility of bonding defects becomes high if there is a bump height variation. Also for TSV (Through Silicon Via) that is expected to be used for technologies such as SiP, the reduction in height variation of electroplated surfaces on the circuit is a challenge to be addressed.
When connecting a bump, ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) containing conductive particles are usually used between the bump and substrate. If the bump surface roughness is great, however, the conductive particles in the ACF would go into the depressions and bonding defects may occur. To avoid this problem, bump surface roughness needs to be reduced.
The new DAS8930 is equipment that has been developed based on the DFS8910 fully automatic surface planer but without the transfer unit for a space-saving design while maintaining the same processing quality. This model is also ideal for R&D applications as it allows easy switching of workpieces.

Features of the DAS8930

Space-Saving Design

The footprint was reduced by approximately 64% compared to the DFS8910 by omitting the transfer unit. This enables effective use of the floor space in the clean room.

Lower Initial Cost

Simple configuration of this machine makes a reduction in initial cost possible.

Easy Operation

-

Switching of workpieces is easy with this model. It is ideal for R&D applications that deal with processing of various kinds of products in small lots.

-

The maximum supported workpiece diameter is 300 mm. This is equipment with high versatility that supports workpieces of various sizes/shapes ranging from rectangles to wafers.

Test Cuts

Test cuts will be conducted upon request.
