Diamond wire
with
attached grain, separating technology FAST, innovative cutting wheels for edge
rounding as well as cutting wheels with FAVS™ technology: With the new
generation of tools and processes optimised to one another, Saint-Gobain
Abrasives offers the semiconductor industry solutions for efficiently processing
sapphire, silicon and SiC. This enables it to produce innovative products such
as blue LEDs or 300 mm wafers with the utmost process safety and the highest
quality. This results in perfect surfaces even for extremely thin wafers and
despite
a shorter processing time at higher feed rates. Expensive reworking which can
reduce the quality (e.g. environmentally harmful etching) can largely be
dispensed with. New bonding systems also enable the service life of the grinding
tools to be doubled.
