What Is Chip Manufacturing?
Chip manufacturing is the process of designing, fabricating, and assembling microelectronic components that power modern electronic devices. These semiconductor chips, also known as integrated circuits (ICs), are essential for smartphones, computers, automotive systems, medical devices, and AI-driven technologies.
The process requires extreme precision, as chips contain billions of transistors within microscopic spaces. Any defect or imperfection during manufacturing can affect performance, making precision cutting tools a critical part of the process.
How Are Blades Manufactured for Chip Manufacturing?
Precision blades are essential in chip manufacturing, ensuring clean, accurate cuts in wafer dicing, trimming, and substrate cutting. Their production requires advanced materials, precision engineering, and strict quality control to meet semiconductor industry standards.
Key Steps in Blade Manufacturing
