Dicing operation

Another important factor is the corrosiveness of the adhesive. This may be especially important in those cases where the PSA has direct contact with the bare wire, the electronic component, or the silicon wafer in a dicing operation. In those cases where an electrical current is running through the device, electrolytic corrosion processes may occur, especially if moisture can penetrate into the adhesive or bond line. 

MEMS devices need to be separated from the substrate using a wafer-dicing machine before they can be packaged. However, unlike IC devices, water used in the dicing operation will... 

The wafer bonding technique has been used to encapsulate MEMS devices before the dicing process. Wafers (silicon or glass) with recessed microcavities are used to bond to the MEMS device wafer. The microcavity provides a protection cap to the micromechanical component. The hermetic sealing between the bonded wafers will prevent water (during dicing operation) from coming into the cavity. It will also delay moisture diffusion from the envi-... 

The dicing operation involves the use of multiple wheel arbors fitted to an automatic Semitron machine as shown in Figures III-7 and III-8. 

Compared to more conventional techniques, this sawing technique enables 10 times higher production rates and close dimensional tolerances (maximum mass variation for 18 samples 1%), As a result of the dicing operation the cubes thus produced however present burrs, which can be eliminated either by etching (Ti and TiA16V4) or by barrel finishing (Mo). 

Almost everybody is familiar with the notion of probability as applied to games of chance. When discussing dice games, we assign the probability 1/6 to the event a one comes up because there are six faces of the die that are equally likely to come up and the desired face is, therefore, only one possibility out of six. Operationally, the number 1/6 is taken to mean that, in a long sequence of N tosses of the die, approximately 1/6 -N ones will show up. In other words, the... 

These operations are repeated again and again in different sequential order until the 1C fabrication is completed. At the same time, they are not the actual steps needed to form the individual dice. We will address these later on after we have described the individual operations used in performing each step in the IC manufacturing process. It is very important to distinguish between manufacturing operations and manufacturing steps.

Online analysis processing mainly comprises the interactive exploration of multidimensional data sets, or data cubes, which are manipulated by operations from matrix algebra, for example, slice-and-dice, roll-up, and drill-down. Computing performance is related to data warehouse size and also data quality, for example, missing data, unsharpness, and redundancy. The multidimensionality issue is critical for extracting pertinent information and selecting the results to be stored and visualized. 

Not all the muscle from a carcass is suitable for whole joints, and the remainders are restructured by various processes. The first stage is to cut the piece to regular shapes by dicing flaking. chopping or grinding. A host of mechanical cutters have been developed to perform these operations, and while the mean particle size can be varied from centimeters to less than a millimeter, a range of particle sizes is always produced. This may have a major influence on the subsequent reassembly processes, particularly where salt is added and mass transfer rates are directly influenced by available surface area of all the meat pieces, and their size. Recently,... 

Other metrics include the Hamming distance metric, given by (6). XOR is the bitwise exclusive or operation (a bit in the result is set if the corresponding bits in the two operands are different), and N the number of bits in each set. The Dice coefficient is defined by (7). 

Complementary to the detailed and deep situation-based analysis of the process traces, aggregated analyses based on the concepts of OLAP (Online Analjdical Processing) were realized to achieve a broader view of the production processes. Based on the integrated data sources, multi-dimensional cubes were created to aggregate the available information, allowing the well-known operations of slice, dice, and drill down. 

Here we will introduce three similarity coefficients that have been widely used for both realvalued (i.e. continuous) and binary (dichotomous) descriptors the Tanimoto coefficient, the Dice coefficient and the Cosine coefficient The formulae used to compute these coefficients are given in Table 12.3, where, for completeness, we have also provided the Euclidean and Hamming expressions that were introduced in Section 9.13. Different expressions are used for real-valued data (where the molecule is represented by a vector containing N real values Xj) and for binary data (where each molecule is represented by N binary values). For binary data, we additionally define a to be the number of bits on in the bitstring for A, b to be the number of bits on in the bitstring for B, and c to be the number of bits that are on in both A and B (calculated using the AND operator).
