This Test Method defines a procedure for evaluation of die strength by mean of cantilever bending where 3 point bending is not easy to measure strength in case of wafer thickness less than 50 μm.
This Test Method applies only for cantilever bending method, and other methods will be defined by separate documents.
This Test Method is used to measure die strength for dies from processed wafers.
Wafer thinning technology becomes popular to meet the demand for thin packages, so the die strength data is critical for the die quality and certification. This Standard extends to the region of ultra-thin thickness from 3 point bending measurement method SEMI G86-0303 which describes the Die Strength Evaluation Method, Measurement Data Summary Technique and Data Usage for Test Report.
