2. Wafer foil «edge» peel force
• adhesion at die edge (point load)
• typical range 0.1 … 1.5 N
• must be < 0.3 N for thin dies
example: step cut
• value depends on dicing method
• can be reduced by step cut, DBG, ..
2. Wafer foil «edge» peel force
• single cut shows 2x higher edge peelforce due to local heating by blade

4. Die strength
• material property, (almost) independent of thickness
• measured by bending test

4. Die strength vs. bending stress
• typical ranges are very close
• risk of die cracking
• «min. die thickness 20 m»
