<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have some users who would like to use a dicing saw that is currently used to cut glass and sapphire to cut GaAs wafers as well. We’re worried about the safety aspects of both tool contamination and dealing
with the waste water effluent. The dicing saw that we are using is a DISCO DAD3220. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
