15. Lift off and discard the excess tape.
16. Turn the vacuum valve located on the right front of the tool off.
17. Remove the workpiece from the unit.
18. It is recommended that you put the workpiece back on the chuck with the tape facing
down for 15-20 minutes to ensure good tape adhesion. Failure to do this may cause
smaller pieces to dislodge during cutting and be lost in the machine.
19. If there are bubbles between the tape and the workpiece, remove the tape from the frame
and the workpiece and repeat the entire procedure. These could also be caused by
particles on the back of the wafer.
20. Let the wafer cool entirely before putting it on the dicing saw. The longer you let it cool,
the better the tape adhesion.
21. Turn the mounting station off after mounting the last wafer and close the lid.
Note: The blue tape is three mils (~75 um) thick.
