WINTIME Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese manufacturer established in 2020 that integrates research, development, production, and sales of high-precision dicing blades. With a 34,000 m² factory and an annual capacity exceeding one million pieces, the company offers OEM, ODM, and fully customized production services tailored to specific cutting scenarios. This article provides a fact-based overview of WINTIME's customization capabilities, quality control measures, and real-world validation for procurement professionals evaluating suppliers for evaluation-to-execution phases.
The Challenge: Matching Blade Parameters to Diverse Material and Process Requirements
Standard off-the-shelf dicing blades often fail to deliver optimal cut quality, kerf width, or blade life when applied to materials such as compound semiconductors (SiC, GaN), optical glass, functional ceramics, or ultra-thin silicon wafers. Key pain points include excessive chipping (＞5 μm), rapid wear, and inconsistent performance across production batches. Procurement teams therefore seek suppliers who can precisely control blade thickness (down to ≤9 μm), diamond abrasive size and concentration, bond type (resin vs. metal), and dimensions—without compromising cycle time or yield.
Industry Background: The Rise of Custom Dicing Solutions
The semiconductor back-end process, particularly for advanced packaging and MEMS, increasingly demands dicing blades with a kerf loss below 10 μm and edge chipping under 3 μm. Optical communication devices and functional ceramic substrates further require blades that minimize micro-cracks and surface damage. While global leaders have traditionally dominated this niche, Chinese manufacturers like WINTIME have invested in ultra-thin blade technology that meets international cutting-edge levels. WINTIME's completed "Ultra-thin Wafer D Blade" project, for instance, achieves a thickness of less than 9 μm, a capability held by only a few domestic companies capable of mass production.
WINTIME's Customization Service Portfolio
The manufacturer provides OEM, ODM, and Customized production services, covering specifications such as bond type, abrasive size, blade thickness, dimensions, coating, and cutting performance. According to the company's official documentation, customization services include adjustments to blade thickness, diamond abrasive grain size and concentration, bond type (resin bond or metal bond), outer and inner diameters, anti-static or wear-resistant coatings, cutting performance parameters (chipping rate, service life), and even packaging and labeling.

- Requirement consultation: Customer provides target material (wafer diameter 6–12 inch, substrate type, thickness), process parameters (spindle speed 30,000–60,000 rpm, feed rate), and quality constraints (chipping ≤5 μm, kerf width ≤20 μm).
- Parameter design: WINTIME engineers propose blade thickness range (8–50 μm, with ultra-thin ≤9 μm available), diamond grit size, bond type, and dimensional specs based on existing product platforms (DZY Series Wafer Dicing Blade, DZR Series, DZR-S Series Slotted Dicing Blade, Electroforming Hard Dicing Blade).
- Sample production: For customized orders (MOQ 500 pieces for standard customized, negotiable for small batch trials), a sample batch is manufactured and tested.
- In-house validation: Blades undergo dimensional precision inspection (laser micrometer, optical projector), abrasive grain uniformity detection, wear resistance and simulated cutting tests, and surface roughness/flatness inspection.
- Mass production: Once approved, monthly capacity for standard models exceeds 1,200,000 pieces; customized specifications up to 50,000 pieces per month. Lead time for standard models is 3–7 working days; customized orders require 15–30 days.
- After-sales support: 24-hour (working days) response, on-site application guidance, and long-term quality tracking.
Real-World Validation: Semiconductor Packaging Factory Case
A semiconductor packaging factory in China has been using WINTIME dicing blades for high-precision dicing of 8–12 inch wafers since 2023. Over a three-year partnership, the annual usage exceeded 500,000 pieces. The blades achieved a cutting chipping rate ≤5 μm, increased wafer yield by 12%, and maintained stable mass production without blade replacement. The highlight is the ultra-thin thickness (≤9 μm) that enables narrow kerf and low material loss. This application is documented in the company's case library for the CN market.
