Single Side Polisher/Lapper
FAM (Free Abrasive Machining) is the SpeedFam original single side lap process, which enables high efficiency by free-moving abrasives on a ultrahard plate. These simple systems are extremely easy to operate and maintain. Not only applicable for lapping, we offer this lineup in configurations for soft and "hard" polishing as well. From bare silicon wafers to metals and sapphire, these single side systems offer abrasive processes to a broad range of production requirements.
Equipment for bare silicon wafers
FAM59SPAW / FAM50SPAW
SpeedFam's 50-SPAW and 59-SPAW machines are automated single side mechanochemical polishing systems for bare silicon wafer processing. We transport ceramic mounting plates (loaded and unloaded with wafers) automatically. These systems are equipped with various advanced technologies such as a low thermal expansion polishing plates and cooling jackets, independent forced drive and precision pressure control for each process carrier.
