Green ceramic, a basic capacitor consists of two conducting electrodes separated by an insulating dielectric material.  Multi-layer ceramic capacitors consist of a large number of closely spaced parallel electrodes between thin layers of a high-capacitance ceramic material.

Major MLCC Dicing Considerations:

• Nuisance dust in ‘dry’ dicing operations
• Blade clogging
• Layer smearing and shorting

Dicing Saw:

7124 dicing saw, high level of automation, large blade size for better Cost -of -Ownership

Dicing Blade:

• 4″ Nickel (standard or serrated edge) and steel core Nickel Blades
• OD Ø: 2”, 3″, 4″
• Diamond grit size: 30 – 70 µm
• Thickness: .006″ – .014” (0.15 – 0.35 mm)

Dicing Process Parameters:

• Feed rate: 50 – 250 mm/sec
• Spindle speed: 12 –30 krpm
• Possible for both ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ dicing
• Relatively frequent dressing to clean the dicing blade from debris
