ABSTRACT:
An internal diameter saw, and in particular a method for operation which facilitates the maintenance of quality control of semiconductor wafers sliced from an ingot of source material. The internal diameter saw has a controller which monitors the deflection of the cutting edge of the blade at a location within the ingot as a wafer is sliced. Depending upon the deflection of the blade which is detected within the crystal, a blade dressing device is automatically activated to sharpen the blade following the cut.
