mounting adhesive
Crystalbond™ 509 bonds an advanced ceramic which is diced into 25-50 mil sections.

Wash away adhesives are ideal for temporary mounting of products that require dicing, polishing and other machining processes. They exhibit high bond strength and adhere readily to metals, glass and ceramics by melting with heat. When processing is complete, the adhesives are removed by reheating and cleaning with environmentally friendly cleaning agents.

Typical Applications:
  • machining advanced ceramics
  • lapping and polishing optical components
  • dicing ceramic substrates and semiconductor wafers
  • dicing ferrites, glasses and piezoelectrics
  • dicing metal and optical single crystals
  • mounting cross-sections for electron microscopy
  • backfilling components for temporary mechanical support

Crystalbond™ 509
Provides excellent adhesion and minimizes clogging of diamond tools compared to waxes. They are transparent in thin cross-sections. Soluble in acetone, odorless, non-flammable, biodegradable and may be rinsed in water.

Crystalbond™ 555 & 555-HMP
A low melting point adhesive for moderate stress machining processes. It is transparent in thin cross-sections and is soluble in hot water. 555 has a Flow Point of 120ºF (54ºC); 555-HMP is 150ºF (66ºC);

Crystalbond™ 590
A high strength, resilient adhesive system, ideal for doing miniature and tall parts. It is soluble in methanol or IPA, a water-dispersible, environmentally safe powder concentrate.

Semi-rigid, solvent-resistant plastic film with a pressure sensitive soluble adhesive layer.
Ideal for
scribing/dicing wafers with vacuum hold down fixturing

Specifications
Form Sheet
Size 0.005" x 10" x 10" (0.127mm x 254mm x 254mm)
Color Clear
Solvent Acetone or MEK

Application Procedures:
  1. Cut the Wafer Mount™ sheet to the desired shape and size and peel the clear plastic tape away from the backing paper. Place the substrate, face down, over the part. Press firmly to assure good adhesion, then peel off the backing paper.
  2. Process the substrate as required, then remove parts by heating in a well ventilated area to 300°F for 2-3 minutes until the adhesive softens. Use a tool to slide the substrate off the mounting plate.
  3. Clean with acetone or MEK.
2", 3", and 4" silicon wafers

Epoxy Bond

Epoxy Bond 110

Epoxy Bond 110 is a very low viscosity, hard and fast-curing epoxy with excellent bonding characteristics. A unique feature of Epoxy Bond 110 is the red color that appears on curing. Cure by color instead of time. It is a reactive system only when heat is applied. It has good adhesion to many materials including metals, ceramics, glass and most plastics. Use for IC Cover Slip Technique when IC does not have passivation layer, when rounding occurs during cross-sectioning, or in the semiconductor field for bond pad protection.

M-Bond adhesive

M-BOND™ 610 Adhesive

ion milling, cross-sectioning

This is a non-conductive, two-component, solvent-thinned, epoxy-phenolic adhesive for high performance applications. Chemically resistant and provides a thin layer of glue which has good ion milling properties. It has low viscosity and is extremely thin, with minimum creep, hysteresis and linearity problems. Solids content is 22%. It is an excellent adhesive for mounting samples for TEM dimpling and bonding of samples to TEM grids for imaging or FIB.

Operating temperature range, short term is -269° to +370°C; long term, -269° to +260°C.
Elongation can occur at +24°C (3%). This may be the widest temperature range general-purpose adhesive that is available.
A kit contains: 4 bottles (14g each) Resin, 4 bottles (11g each) Curing Agent, 4 brush caps for dispensing mixed adhesives, 4 disposable mixing funnels and instructions.
