PLASMA DICING BEFORE GRIND (PDBG) TECHNOLOGY

PDBG

Content

Tape Mounting After Partial Dicing

PDBG is done by partially etching the streets while the wafer is at full thickness. Once the streets have been etched to the desired depth, the wafer is then mounted to grinding tape. Upon grinding, the dies are separated when the grinding depth reveals the etched streets. The advantage of this approach is that any frontside processes can be done without the wafer being mounted to dicing tape or a temporary carrier. As with other plasma dicing approaches, PDBG offers the benefits of high wafer area utilization and stronger die.

Tape Frames

PDBG does not use tape frames for the plasma etching step, allowing conventional wafer-handling approaches.

Wafer Level Processing

With wafer on carrier, other processes such as lithography or metallization can be done without tape frames.
