The Best Scribing and Cleaving Tool for Your Project

The market today needs sample preparations that are accurate and offers state-of-the-art cleaving and scribing tool. To meet the demands of the growing market and trend, LatticeGear has invented innovative devices that carefully create a weak position and points in wafers and substrates. It is made sure that the materials are split exactly in their right spot making sure minimum to no waste of sample and materials.

What is a Substrate or Wafer?

In the electronic world, the wafer is also known by the name slice or substrate. It is a semiconductor material’s thin piece that produces integrated circuits. And in the field of photovoltaics, it is used in the fabrication of solar cells. 

It provides the support of the semiconductor devices’ elements in place, the substrates are sized and shaped with the aid of a high-precision scribing tool. The materials used for the fragile wafers includes

● C-Si – crystalline silicon has a very good commercial advantage. It is considered to be the cheapest material when compared to GaAs, its high-cost competitor material.

● GaAs – gallium arsenide, a technical edge over the silicon. The electrons are known to travel faster through their carriers of crystalline structures.

● The glass substrates are stated to provide support allowing the fragile semiconductor wafers to handle safely so that they can easily bend or rip.

Is This the Next Big Semiconductor Star?

As of now, this is not known for sure but GaN – gallium nitride is believed to be the next future element. It has been garnering great attention all over the world, which includes the labs and the major corporations.

It is used for power transistors and integrated circuits of high efficiency. GaN has proved to be a great solution for transistors of high power that is known to operate at very high temperatures. Also, it has been studied recently that GaN technology is designed focusing on efficiency so that it alternates the silicon.

Innovative Approach to the State-of-the-art Scribing Tools

The technique of high precision is called scribing which creates a weak point in the substrates. The process of cleaving is followed causing the materials to break at their right exact point or place. 

Choosing the right scribing tool is a difficult job which is why one must need to exert help at every stage of the selection process. This calls for the best in the industry, none other than LatticeGear.

Let’s take a look at some of the finest scribing tool that is guaranteed to make your sample or project perfect. 

● FlipScribe 100 – It is a stable, compact, fast, accurate, and low scribing tool and the best cleaving solution suited for all labs. A robust diamond scribe is integrated into the sample platform, requiring the time to scribe and align in 1 minute. The user can accurately position the mark on the scribe and visualize either by the naked eye or high magnified microscope. It is the best way to cleave front-side targets particularly in the case of glass, sapphire, and bonded wafers. 

● FlexScribe – The latest tool by LatticeGear is the FlexScribe. It is fast, simple to use, and clean. It is best suited for laboratories of all kinds and shapes. It easily works on varied materials ranging from sapphires, silicon, III-V materials, and more. It can also work on thick, thin, and tempered glass. The tungsten carbide cutter of the FlexScribe makes sure to present a straight cut giving no space for harmful rulers. 

● LatticeScriber – It is the ultimate and best tool for samples that require hand-scribing. It has a customized top of 8-point diamond tip number. It gives free space for flexibility in meeting the requirements of the scribing and also the life-span of the tool. The handle features a sturdy nickel-plated aluminum offering a firmer grip. The head is hexagonal in shape to prevent it from rolling. 

● Carbide Cutters – It is a general-purpose and deep tungsten carbide cutter that minimizes particle waste to a great extent. It can work easily on the glass regardless of its depth and also with other materials like silicon and crystalline materials. 

A successful project needs the best scribing tool and cleaving tool that promises perfection and high quality. The plastic scribing tool by LatticeGear also offers great efficiency and quality making the project successful.
