Method of configuring a dicing device, and a dicing apparatus for dicing a workpiece

Abstract

A method of configuring a dicing device 101, which dices along a cutting line of a workpiece 111 according to a dicing step, is disclosed. Numerical input of a dicing order of the dicing device 101 to dice a workpiece 111 is time-consuming and prone to errors. The disclosed method comprises the step of depicting a graphical user interface 202, which includes a layout 203 of the workpiece 111 that further includes a plurality of cut lines relating to respective cutting lines along the workpiece 111. The disclosed method further comprises the step of graphically contacting a cut line from the layout 203 through a user-interface device 201, to allow selection of the cut line before the selected cut line is assigned to the dicing step of the dicing device 101. By providing the plurality of cut lines in the layout 203 that are graphically contactable through the user-interface device 201, the method advantageously allows an easier process of configuring the dicing step of the dicing device 101. Also disclosed are a dicing apparatus for dicing a workpiece 111, as well as a computer-readable medium having a computer program for instructing a computer to perform the disclosed method.
