3D packaging is an advanced high-density packaging technology that expands upon 2D packaging by adding a vertical dimension, achieved through chip stacking or package stacking methods. This approach not only significantly increases packaging density but also effectively reduces packaging costs. A key process in 3D packaging is the Hybrid Bonding technology, particularly the D2W (Die-to-Wafer) or D2D (Die-to-Die) process, which is one of the core steps. This process demands high precision, stringent quality control, and effective particle management, which are even more critical when compared to traditional packaging wafer cutting methods such as the Laser Grooving + Blade Saw combination.
The combination of laser grooving and plasma dicing cutting solutions has garnered increasing attention in the 3D packaging industry due to its superior cutting quality and unique particle control advantages. This breakthrough has provided a solid foundation for the further development of 3D packaging technology, ensuring its future success.
Laser Grooving: A Key Technology in 3D Packaging
Laser grooving is a cutting-edge technique that plays a crucial role in preparing wafers for plasma etching and subsequent cutting in the advanced packaging process. Unlike traditional methods, Laser Grooving combined with Plasma Dicing offers significant improvements in cutting accuracy, quality, and particle management, making it a preferred solution for the demanding needs of the 3D packaging industry.
