    摘要: In CNC wire cutting process, the deflection of the wire due to cutting force is proportional to square of the wire length. Hence it is beneficial to adjust wire length as per job size and keep it minimal. But existing wire cutting machines, wire length adjustment is not feasible. Hence there is a need to develop a simple user-friendly method of wire length adjustment. This invention proposes a simple user-friendly method of wire length adjustment in abrasive wire (100A) and hot wire cutting (100B) machines. This invention also proposes an intelligent faster cutting method without affecting wire life or pulley life. This invention also proposes an intelligent method of start point selection in CNC wire cutting machines, to avoid part defects.

    摘要: Semiconductor wafers having a subsurface-referenced nanotopography of the upper side surface of less than 6 nm, expressed as a maximum peak-to-valley distance on a subsurface and referenced to subsurfaces with an area content of 25 mm×25 mm, are produced from a workpiece by feeding the workpiece through a wire web tensioned between wire guide rollers and divided into wire groups, the wires producing kerfs as the wires engage the workpiece. For each of the wire groups, a placement error of the kerfs of the wire groups is used to compensate movements of the wires of the wire group as a function of the placement error, in a direction perpendicular to the running direction of the wires during feeding of the workpiece through the arrangement of wires, by activating at least one drive element.

    摘要: A crystalline material processing method includes forming subsurface laser damage at a first average depth position to form cracks in the substrate interior propagating outward from at least one subsurface laser damage pattern, followed by imaging the substrate top surface, analyzing the image to identify a condition indicative of presence of uncracked regions within the substrate, and taking one or more actions responsive to the analyzing. One potential action includes changing an instruction set for producing subsequent laser damage formation (at second or subsequent average depth positions), without necessarily forming additional damage at the first depth position. Another potential action includes forming additional subsurface laser damage at the first depth position. The substrate surface is illuminated with a diffuse light source arranged perpendicular to a primary substrate flat and positioned to a first side of the substrate, and imaged with an imaging device positioned to an opposing second side of the substrate.

    摘要: A silicon carbide wafer manufacturing method includes: a bending measuring step of measuring a first edge having the greatest degree of a bending at one surface of a silicon carbide ingot having one surface; a cutting start step of starting a cutting at a second edge having a distance of r×a along an edge of the one surface from the first edge in a direction parallel to or with a predetermined off angle with respect to the one surface through the wire saw, a cutting speed being decreased to a first cutting speed in the cutting start step; a cutting proceeding step in which the first cutting speed is substantially constant within a variation of about ±5% of the first cutting speed; and a finish step in which the cutting speed is increased from the first cutting speed and the cutting of the silicon carbide ingot is completed.

    摘要: A peeling apparatus includes a holding table that holds an ingot, a water supply unit that forms a layer of water on an upper surface of the ingot, an ultrasonic unit that applies an ultrasonic wave to the upper surface of the ingot through the layer of water, a peeling confirmation unit that confirms peeling-off of a wafer to be manufactured, a wafer delivery unit that lowers a suction pad having a suction surface facing the upper surface of the ingot, to hold the wafer to be manufactured on the suction surface under suction, and delivers the wafer from the ingot, and a controller. After the peeling-off of the wafer is confirmed by the peeling confirmation unit, the controller positions the water supply unit, the ultrasonic unit, and the peeling confirmation unit at retracted positions and operates the wafer delivery unit to deliver the wafer from the ingot.
