1. Existing Thin Die Detachment
Process
1.5 Limitations for the existing design
 Localized deformation effect created by
the ejector pins
 Initiation of micro-cracks near the edges
of the die (created in the die saw process)
for ejector pins located near the edges of
die
 More ejector pins are needed for large and
thin die, ejector pins themselves will
inhibit the delamination to propagate to
the center of the die

4. Design Rule and Implementation

Positioning of a die

Design considerations:
Collet moves to contact the die
1 : size and thickness of die (Fig. 1)

2 : size and height of the step extrusion


Vacuum is applied to the collet to
hold the die (Fig. 2)
3 : location of the ejector pins
9 : vacuum holes Vacuum is applied to the cap
(Fig. 3)

Ejector moves up from the


reference level (Fig. 4)

Collet moves up and picks up the


die (Fig. 5)
