The RA120M has two independent scribing axes that are programmed separately.The parameters can be entered as either microns or mils for scribing wafers up to 100 mm (4 in.) in diameter. All the parameters are entered via the numerical keypad and the soft keys that are adjacent to the screen. The display message will prompt a user through the sequence of scribing steps. Three scribing modes are available: continuous, edge and skip. The system is microprocessor controlled to accurately place the scribe lines with a precise force on the diamond tip.
