Jeff,

Any reason that you do not want a WET dicing process on your wafers ?
Sources are much more abundant and some can do partial cut through for
break or full cut  through on tape with pick and place, depending on
'chip' size, otherwise they can do the full cut dicing  and leave it on
tape. Dicing will give you a much cleaner , chip free edge, especially
at bottom where the break often will cause some cleaving leaving one
chip with an undercut and another with a protrusion at the bottom.



Best Regards,
Ken Smith
