Disco Grinder
Manufacturer: Disco
The Disco Automatic Grinder Model 810 (DAG 810) is a single-spindle / single-chuck-table unit that performs back-side grinding on samples. The users perform work-piece loading and unloading manually at the front of the machine. The machine can grind silicon and other semiconductor substrates. It can also grind high-load, hard-to-process ceramics and crystals. The DAG 810 can handle small pieces (mounted on a thermal release backing tape) or standard 4”, 6” or 8” inch wafers.
