Understanding Jig Alignment Error Occurrences for Substrate 1-Map Strips

Singulation is a process in a semiconductor industry where high dense strips were singulated into single units. Jig saw singulation was the updated technology where strips were seated and vacuumed on a rubber nest jig during singulation. Jig saw singulation is also practical for high volume manufacturing as it demands minimal indirect materials. To cut the strips, jig alignment with the strip was measured by the machine to ensure that the rubber nest jig will not be cut and damaged while the strip is being singulated. However, with the different upstream process that the strip undergone, machine prompt frequent jig alignment errors when the machine detected that the strip saw street has high displacement with the recorded alignment of the saw street of rubber nest jig. Through this study, the authors have driven to understand the jig alignment errors occurrences as well as the assistance that can be made for the strip to be processed. The authors also included the study of the risks that might be imposed on both rubber nest jig and the affected strips, as well as the recommendations when jig alignment errors were encountered.
