Electronic Lappingwith Trizact™ Diamond TileFaster cut rates - with less subsurface damage - boost productivity.

3M™ Trizact™ Diamond Tile abrasive pads not only remove material faster than coarse slurries or fixed pellets — they do it with fine diamond grades that limit damage to substrates. The result is dramatically reduced polishing time. In-plantstudies demonstrate that the 3M lappingprocess can reduce overall process timenearly 60% for improved throughput.

Without the messy residue of slurrylapping, the process, equipment,and manufacturing environment arecleaner. You eliminate the hassle of slurry disposal and simplify wastemanagement. 3M’s proprietary abrasivesmake electronic lapping less costly, bothoperationally and in terms of its potentialeffects on the environment.

Suitable for either single or double-sidedlapping, the pads mount to existing machineplates with a pressure-sensitive adhesive.Production of silicon wafers and fabrication of metal, electronic, and optical products areamong the applications for electroniclapping. This technology performswell on a variety of substrates:

• Fused quartz/fused silica• Silicon• Borosilicate glass • Soda-lime glass• Aluminosilicate glass• Lithium niobate• Crystalline quartz• Sapphire• Glass ceramic
