TF Dies

Offering Die Configurations Incorporating Special Cam or Roller Bending to Minimize Package Damage

  1. Removal technology (minimizing scrap rising and blockage)
    Die, punch, and product receptacle profiles are configurable to prevent damage to both products and dies. Iwatani offers optimal profile solutions.
  2. Bending technologies
    Traces of contact with the product are minimized to improve product appearance and plating adhesion to die components. Optimal bending solutions, such as cam and roller bending, are offered to suit product profiles.
  3. Die life improvements
    Changes to cutting tool materials and special coatings help extend the die life.

Main Applications

Trim and form dies are used at the final stage of semiconductor production to cut out individual packages and form leads.

  1. Resin cutting
    Punching (resin) burrs on parts enclosed by the package exterior, tie bars, or leads
  2. Tie bar cutting
    Punching tie bars
  3. Lead cutting
    Cutting lead ends and individual packages
  4. Lead forming
    Bending lead ends to their final shape

Typical Applications

  • SOP products
  • DIP products
  • SOT products
  • SON products

Laser Processing System (Marking, Deburring, Resin Removal)

Lower Semiconductor Defect Rates Achieved Using Laser Irradiation

This system is designed to stamp semiconductor component products. It allows printing on components for each frame, individual components, and two-dimensional code printing. Laser irradiation can also be used to deburr resin components and remove resin. Resin removal is traditionally a process performed using dies. However, in addition to reducing semiconductor defect rates, a laser system helps eliminate die maintenance requirements (for example, replacement work associated with die and punch wear).

Main Applications

Used in processes to stamp product names, manufacturer names, and lot numbers on package surfaces, primarily after cutting out individual packages and forming leads

Typical System Configuration

  1. Frame supply unit
  2. Orientation/product confirmation unit (option)
  3. Laser marking unit
  4. Visual inspection unit (option)
  5. Brush unit (option)
  6. Frame storage unit
