    OVERVIEW:
    As consumers' demands for smaller, lighter, and faster technology become reality, the need for thinner packaging technology is paramount. Advanced thinning and dicing of ultra-thin wafers has enabled packaging designers to maintain similar form factors with increased functionality and capacity. Several specific technological advances in wafer thinning and dicing have led this industry transition. In traditional packaging, dicing always followed backgrinding. However, new processes have reversed this order and placed dicing before grinding. Thus, eliminating wafer level breakage. This presentation will discuss these leading edge technologies and the advantages that they can provide.
