Introducing Latticegear’s high-accuracy Wafer Cleaving Systems

LatticeGear is a renowned name as a specialist in the scribing and cleaving industry. Our innovative tools are a result of years of extensive knowledge and research converted into working solutions by our charismatic founders.

When it comes to wafer cleaving tools, our LatticeAx product line stands apart from the rest in furnishing efficient results no matter the project at hand. The tools are easy to use, fast, accurate, affordable, and suitable for work in laboratory conditions.

LatticeAx – A new way of cleaving

The foremost factor that differentiates LatticeAx from our other cleaving systems is the incorporation of the Indent-and-Cleave method, that employs indentation instead of scribing, followed by cleaving.

The next factor would be the integration of smart mechanics with high-resolution imaging and separate but precise control of the sample and indenter stages.

In short, LatticeAx is a cleaving tool that optimizes the inaccuracy of traditional cleaving methods and shallow cost-effectiveness of automated cleaving into affordable but precision-centric solutions.

Here is a short brief of the LatticeAx product line designed to flexibly suit specifications for various businesses.

LatticeAx 120

Identifying as a base indent and cleaving system, the LatticeAx 120 offers high quality downsizing of various materials like GaAs, sapphire, silicon, and more, in less than 2 minutes. Measuring but a 4” cube, the 120 requires no prior preparations and is purely mechanical with simple to operate functions.

LatticeAx 225

Identifying as an accurate indent and cleaving system, the LatticeAx 225 with its high magnification imaging delivers swift accuracy in the range of 20µm for a wide range of substrates. An integrated display software enables real time indent positioning with fine focus control to make cleaving simple and precise for all users.

LatticeAx 420

Identifying as an ultimate high accuracy indent and cleaving system, the LatticeAx 420 consists of a dedicated workstation that surveys, aligns, micro-indents, cleaves, and finally inspects the samples, working with a monocular microscope within an accuracy of 10µm. The features of the 420 make it a necessity in laboratories and research institutes that value precision and speed coupled with operational flexibility.

How to Choose the Right Scribing Tool for Your Project?

The founders of LatticeGear understand the demand of the global market for faster, cheaper, and smaller devices. And to fill the void in the market, they have developed advanced cleaving and scribing tools that not just speed up the sample preparation but also improves its quality to its great extent.

An Innovative Approach in the Scribing World

The technique of high precision for generating weaker points in substrates is called scribing. It is then accompanied by cleaving that causes the delicate materials to snap at their exact right spot.

Choosing a scribing tool is not an easy matter for it requires expert guidance, experience, and in-depth knowledge. This is the reason most of the laboratories and R&D labs get regular advice and help from LatticeGear on choosing the right option and solution for their needs and projects.

The following are a few of the varied scribing tools.

FlipScribe100 – Not all the scribing processes are done on the front side. To get a clean and effective scribe line, scribing on the back is considered a better option. It is a great way to achieve front-side projects, especially in the case of bonded wafers, glass, and sapphire.

FlexScribe – It is the latest tool launched by LatticeGear which works perfectly on many materials. It ranges from sapphires to silicon wafers and also works perfectly in cases of III-V materials and tempered glass of thick and thin size. The tungsten carbide cutter ensures it always presents a straight scribe and does not require any harmful rulers.

LatticeScriber – It is the best tool for hand scribing projects. It has a customized top with a numbering tip. Its flexible features meet the requirements and add life to the tool. Its head is hexagonal preventing it from rolling and giving the user an added grip.

Carbide Cutters – It is deep tungsten and general-purpose carbide cutter which minimizes the particles waste. It can work with thin glass and other materials like silicon, and crystalline materials.

Laser Carbide Cutters – This tool is specially designed for cutting quartz, thin, ultra-thin, and hard glass. It can also be used for other materials like silicon and III-V materials. It guarantees deep scoring and provides a non-slip start.

The project can only be successful if it is chosen rightly and perfectly. Therefore, if you want to know more about the tools or want to know about the plastic scribing tool, then contact the experts of LatticeGear for better understanding and knowledge.
