U.S. Customer Orders Strasbaugh nTellect Wafer Grinding System to Expand Capacity
(Nanowerk News) Strasbaugh announced today that a U.S. customer has placed an order for an nTellect (Model 7AF) wafer grinding system. The nTellect will expand the production capacity of a U.S. fab where two other nTellect grinders are already installed and in production.
"The nTellect is a production-proven wafer grinding system that offers customers improved surface finish, reduced sub-surface damage, repeatable thickness control and high reliability," said Mike Kirkpatrick, Strasbaugh's VP of Sales and Marketing.
The nTellect features advanced wafer grinding technologies, including force adaptive, in-feed grinding mechanics, linear-traversing grind spindles, real-time thickness measurement, and automated process control, which produce superior process results. The nTellect is well-suited for a broad range of applications including hard and exotic materials grinding. The system accommodates notched, flatted and round wafers and substrates ranging in size from 50mm to 200mm.
