Picosecond Wafer Dicing for Low-Chipping, Low-HAZ Semiconductor Processing | Chanxan Laser

Picosecond Wafer Dicing for Hard and Brittle Semiconductor Materials

Chanxan’s picosecond wafer dicing laser cutting machine is designed around direct ablation cutting. In this process, the laser is focused onto the wafer surface and removes material by instantaneous high-energy-density ablation, forming a dicing trench or through-cut without mechanical blade contact. It is widely applicable to SiC, GaN, sapphire, glass, ceramic, and selected multilayer semiconductor wafer structures, as well as to laser grooving of advanced silicon wafers with fragile surface stacks.

Mechanical Blade Dicing vs Picosecond Laser Wafer Dicing

Mechanical Blade Dicing

  • Physical blade grinds through wafer

  • Severe blade wear on SiC, sapphire, and ceramics

  • High Chipping Risk on brittle wafers and hard substrates

  • Risk of delamination or tearing in hybrid stacks

  • Limited by blade geometry and process mechanics

  • Introduces cutting force and vibration

Chanxan Picosecond Laser Wafer Dicing

  • Laser removes material directly from the wafer surface through ultrafast ablation

  • Well suited to hard and brittle materials where blade wear is a major issue

  • Lower edge chipping with controlled ultrafast ablation

  • Better suited to metal + polymer + dielectric + substrate composite structures

  • Digital path control for fine grooves, narrow streets, and complex contours

  • Fully non-contact with no blade pressure on the wafer

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this machine suitable for SiC wafer dicing?
Yes. SiC wafer singulation is one of the most relevant applications for picosecond direct ablation because SiC’s extreme hardness makes blade wear and edge chipping difficult to control in mechanical dicing.
Can picosecond laser cut GaN-on-SiC or GaN-on-sapphire wafers?
Yes. The system is suitable for selected GaN-based heterogeneous wafer structures, especially where clean cutting through multiple material layers and reduced delamination risk are important.
Can the system perform both grooving and full-cut wafer singulation?
Yes. Chanxan’s picosecond wafer dicing platform can be configured for laser grooving, partial-depth trenching, direct ablation through-cutting, micro-slotting, and precision drilling depending on the wafer design and process flow.
Is picosecond laser dicing better than blade dicing?
Not in every scenario. Blade dicing remains common for standard high-volume silicon wafer production. However, picosecond laser dicing becomes highly attractive when the process requires lower mechanical stress, reduced chipping, finer feature control, or better handling of thin and brittle materials.
