before the wafer is scored and then broken into individual die -- wafer dicing.

Only the good, unmarked chips go on to be packaged.

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or preparation:

    Paris: a city of pleasures and amusements where four-fifths of the people die of grief.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
