Abstract
To avoid contamination of wafers, ultra-clean, de-ionized (DI) water is used in the wafer sawing process as a cleaning media and lubricant. There are claims that the high resistivity of DI water creates static charges that cause damaging ESD voltages. Investigations are conducted, and results and conclusions are presented.
