A non-contact support platform system is provided for supporting a substantially flat object. The system includes a platform with a first plurality of pressure ports and a first plurality of vacuum ports for inducing a fluid cushion to support the object at a distance from the platform. The system further includes a second plurality of pressure ports located at a predetermined zone of the platform for increasing the distance of the object from the platform at the predetermined zone.

Method and system for locally controlling support of a flat object

Attachment for a dicing saw

A method and apparatus for accumulating dicing data for process analysis, monitoring process stability and cut quality in a substrate. The apparatus has a spindle motor with a blade attached to the spindle motor. A spindle driver is coupled the spindle to drive the spindle at a predetermined rotation rate. A sensor is connected to the spindle motor to determine the rotation rate of the spindle. A controller is coupled to the monitor in order to control the spindle driver responsive to the load induced on the blade by the substrate.

Monitoring system for dicing saws

A method and apparatus for accumulating dicing data for process analysis, monitoring process stability and cut quality in a substrate. The apparatus has a sensor for determining a speed of a blade of the dicing saw. A monitor determines a load placed on the blade by the substrate, where the monitor measures at least one of a feedback control current and a feedback control voltage output from the dicing saw. A controller is coupled to the monitor in order to control the spindle driver responsive to the load induced on the blade by the substrate.
