Diamond Sawing
Applications
General
- Optical alignment and diamond sawing of most hard and brittle materials
- Odd waste strip (alley) circuit stepping
- Mixed circuit types on a plate
- Economical prototype and volume production quantities
- Combined with laser cutting to produce intricate contours
Types
Microwave Hybrid Circuit Substrates
- Thin Film
Conventional Hybrid Circuit Substrates
- Thick Film
- Direct Bond Copper
Ceramic Microcircuit Package Components
- Co-fired
- Thick Film
Typical Hybrid Application Uses
- Optically align and cut through via castellations to form circuit or package edge
- Optically align to thin or thick film metalization patterns to accurately define substrate edge
- Precision edged finished circuit blanks
- Precision heat spreaders and mount tabs
