Hi I am having trouble finding literature I can compare Semitec and
Dynatex blades to the codes on the K&S web site. Do you know where I can
find this info? I have a load of blades but need to work out what they
are able dice. Maybe you know..? 

 

Semitec F1230

Semitec S1430

Semitec S1235

Semitec  S3560

Semitec  S1230

 

Dynatex S4055

Dynatex G1015

Dynatex S1230

Dynatex G1230

 

Thanks and Regards

Hi --

I'm the wafer saw engineer here.  The K&S and the Semitec technical 
support were very helpful in decoding the part numbers.  They are 
actually pretty consistent between Semitec and Dynatex, with slight 
differences.  The first letter gives the grit size (I think this may be 
different between vendors).  "F" in Semitec means <2 microns, I think, 
and comparable to "S" in Dynatex, and gives smooth cuts for silicon, 
though generally breaks on harder substrates ("S" translates in 
Dynatex-speak to 1-2 micron carbide grit, I vaguely recall).  "C" in 
Dynatex-speak means >50 micron grit size and better for hard 
substrates.  The next two digits are the blade width, or kerf,  and the 
next two, are the blade depth in English units.  So, we use the F3530 
(on the Semitec website, you can download the cheat sheet for all the 
codes) which means small carbide grit size (F means <2 um) with 350 mil 
kerf width (the "35") and 3.0 mil (for "30") blade depth (or something 
like that -- I'm always off by a factor of 10 one way or the other for 
the English units -- all I'm sure about is that this corresponds to a 
kerf width is about 90 microns and blade depth is 0.762 mm.)  We chose 
the F3530 as a replacement for the S3030 Dynatex blades we used to use.  
We went with the slightly wider width because it's a sturdier blade and 
also there's a significant price drop with a slightly thicker blade.  We 
went with diamond grit resinoid blades for the replacement for the 
Dynatex "C" series for hard substrates -- they last a lot longer.

Good luck --

Mary
