Understanding the decapsulation fixtures for the JetEtch Pro and using them as intended is an essential step to maximizing the efficiency and decapsulation potential of your system. This page will illustrate the standard etching fixtures available, along with several different decapsulation stack-ups that one might encounter when using the JetEtch Pro. You might find that customized versions of these stack-ups work better for your application.<\/p>

Have a look at the illustrations of several of our standard etch fixtures below. Feel free to rotate them and view larger images to get the full detail on each fixture.<\/p>

Most of these etch fixtures are available for purchase at our online store,\u00a0shop.nisene.com<\/a>. Our online store is available for anyone with Nisene decap equipment as a small part of our value-added service.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Location Gasket is used to align the sample above the Definition Gasket during the etch process. It locates the sample in its place; hence the name \u201cLocation Gasket.\u201d<\/p>

Location Gaskets are just slightly larger than the perimeter of the IC device\u2019s outermost sidewalls. Note, however, that some packages require location by way of sidewall, leads, or both \u2014 so inspect and measure your part carefully when choosing a Location Gasket.\u00a0If you need help selecting the best Location Gasket for your application,\u00a0just contact our applications department<\/a>\u00a0and we\u2019ll gladly help.<\/p>

Location Gaskets are approximately .032\u201d thick.<\/p>

A Definition Gasket is almost always the size of the die within a package, but not always. Sometimes the Definition Gasket may be smaller or larger than the die depending on the desired resultant etch cavity, package thickness, target area, and\/or some combination of all of that.

The blank gasket is used to run a blank part and other etch and maintenance processes. They can even be used to create custom gaskets. They come in two outer dimensions (1.00\u2033, 1.38\u2033) and two thicknesses (Definition, .070\u2033; Location, .032\u2033).

The Locator Ring aligns the gaskets to the etch head. The 1.00\u2033 OD Locator Ring is for the smaller gaskets (1.00\u2033 OD) and is used for most parts, but not necessarily all of them.\u00a0For larger gaskets, use the 1.38\u2033 OD Locator Ring (see next section).<\/p>

Note that the 1.00\u2033 OD and 1.38\u2033 OD mount on the etch head slightly differently from each other. Sometimes JetEtch operators try to install the 1.00\u2033 OD version upside-down \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t fit that way.<\/p>

The Definition-Location Gasket stack-up is our most common and easily created stack-up. It has been around since the beginning of automated etching, and it still a reliable and quick and easy method for etching parts to this day.<\/p>

To design your own Definition-Location stack-up, start by selecting a Location Gasket with roughly the same aperture as the perimeter of the device to be etched. Depending on the package type, that might mean the plastic encapsulant only, but sometimes that means a convenient lip or edge in the external leads that can easily be grabbed by the Location Gasket\u2019s aperture. This holds the device steady and aligns it with the acid supply hole in the etch head. Next, select the Definition Gasket that is roughly the same size as the die (or desired area of interest; e.g. the die and second bonds). Once you have both of these gaskets selected, you can use a light adhesive to secure the two gaskets together. Nisene recommends vacuum grease for this temporary adhesion. Vacuum grease comes standard in every Basic Accessory Kit, which is included with your JetEtch Pro series decapsulator.<\/p>

Note: you may wish to use a Teflon\u00ae Blank to apply pressure to the stack-up. We\u2019ve included an illustration of this as well.<\/p>

Many of our Accessory Kits feature a variety of Definition and Location Gaskets so that the end user can create their own custom configuration and etch quite a large number of combinations of devices and die sizes. With hundreds of Location and Definition Gaskets in stock at all times, as well as the ability to create your own custom sizes, there is literally an infinite number of customizations an end user can design to arm them with the capability to etch just about anything.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

When the Definition-Location Gasket stack-up isn\u2019t enough and you require ultimate precision for your etch, look no further than our Monolithic Gaskets. Cut from a single piece of material, the Monolithic Gasket combines the Location and Definition Gasket to create a very customized etch fixture. With the Monolithic Gasket, one can create a perfectly snug fit to hold the sample, as well as a Definition cavity to define the etch cavity exactly as you need.<\/p>

Another great feature and capability of the Monolithic Gasket is the ability to create an offset in the Location cavity for parts that have die that are off-center.<\/p>

Monolithic Gaskets are made by our experienced applications team, whose decap tenure exceeds two decades. The finest CNC milling equipment is used to manufacture the gaskets, which are available for purchase in packs of five.<\/p>

Note: you may wish to use a Teflon\u00ae Blank to apply pressure to the stack-up. We\u2019ve included an illustration of this as well. (coming soon)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Alignment Plate stack-up is one of our most common and easily created stack-ups, second to the Definition-Location Gasket stack-up in the previous section. Like the Definition-Location, it has been around since the beginning of automated etching, and it also still a very reliable and quick and easy method for etching parts to this day.<\/p>

To design your own Alignment Plate stack-up, start by selecting an Alignment Plate with roughly the same aperture as the perimeter of the device to be etched. This is typically the edge of the package itself. The Alignment Plate holds the device steady and aligns it with the acid supply hole in the etch head as well as the Definition Gasket.<\/p>

Next, select the Definition Gasket that is roughly the same size as the die (or desired area of interest; e.g. the die and second bonds). When you\u2019re ready to etch, set the Definition Gasket on the etch head. Follow this by setting the Alignment Plate and device to be etched above\/on top of the Definition Gasket by aligning the alignment pins with the holes on the outer edges of the Alignment Plate.<\/p>

Many of our Accessory Kits feature a variety of Alignment Plates and Definition Gaskets so that the end user can create their own custom configuration and etch quite a large number of combinations of devices and die sizes. With thousands of fixtures in stock at all times, as well as the ability to create your own custom sizes, there is literally an infinite number of customizations an end user can design to arm them with the capability to etch just about anything.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The BGA Alignment Plate stack-up is a great way to etch BGA packages that require high-temperature acid. The BGA Alignment Plates are engineered to be able to align the sample while also offering area to press down on the sample \u2014 without touching the solder balls. This protects the solder balls from damage during the etch process. See illustrations in this section for details on how we accomplish this.<\/p>

To design your own BGA Alignment Plate stack-up, start by selecting from our predefined standard collection. Once you have the BGA Alignment Plate selected, affix the BGA sample using a temporary method. Nisene suggests Kapton\u00ae tape for this purpose. Two small strips of tape on the corners of the device should be plenty.\u00a0See illustration of how we accomplish the temporary affixing.<\/p>

Next, select the Definition Gasket that is roughly the same size as the die (or desired area of interest; e.g. the die and second bonds). When you\u2019re ready to etch, set the Definition Gasket on the etch head. Follow this by setting the BGA Alignment Plate and affixed device to be etched above\/on top of the Definition Gasket by aligning the alignment pins with the holes on the outer edges of the Alignment Plate. Once the start button is pressed, the process cover will close and the Ram Nose will apply pressure to the backing bar on the BGA Alignment Plate.<\/p>

Our BGA Accessory Kit features a variety of BGA Alignment Plates and Definition Gaskets of various sizes that are tailored to many common BGA sizes and configurations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To design your own Die-Down BGA Alignment Plate stack-up, start by selecting from our predefined standard collection. The Die-Down BGA Accessory Kit has many great options for this.<\/p>

Next, select the Stepped Gasket that is roughly the same size as the die (or desired area of interest; e.g. the die and second bonds). When you\u2019re ready to etch, set the Stepped Gasket on the etch head. Follow this by setting the Die-Down BGA Alignment Plate above\/on top of the Stepped Gasket by aligning the alignment pins with the holes on the outer edges of the Alignment Plate.<\/p>

Once you have this part of the stack-up put together on the etch plate area, carefully place the die-down BGA sample through the aperture of the Die-Down BGA Alignment Plate. Doing so will center the device to the Etch Head. Once the start button is pressed, the process cover will close and the Ram Nose will apply pressure to the back of the die-down BGA device. Typically the back of the die-down BGA device is thick metal and can easily withstand the pressure of the Ram Nose and does not require a Teflon\u00ae Blank or any other type of blank to apply pressure.<\/p>

Our Die-Down BGA Accessory Kit features a variety of Die-Down BGA Alignment Plates and Stepped Gaskets of various sizes that are tailored to many common die-down BGA sizes and configurations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
