Problems solved by technology

For inner circle cutting, the surface damage layer of the cut wafer is large, the knife edge is wide, and the material loss is large, and only one piece can be cut at a time, and the production efficiency is low
Although the diamond single-wire cutting machine overcomes most of the shortcomings of the above cutting, it only cuts one piece at a time like the inner circle cutting machine, so the existing cutting technology and equipment cannot meet the requirements of high-efficiency production
