Apogee® Thermal Slide Debonder

Thermal slide debonding

Safe Debonding

Stop Breaking Wafers

Still using “popsicle sticks” and tweezers? DIY debonding puts your wafers and operators at risk. The Apogee® Thermal Slide Debonder uses proven semi-automated technology to separate wafers without breakage. The result? A consistent process, higher yields, and safer handling.

Lean Operation

Prototype to Production

From R&D labs to production lines, the Apogee® Thermal Slide Debonder delivers high throughput with minimal effort. One operator can run multiple systems at once, whether you’re processing 20 wafers a week or 2,000. Add capacity without adding headcount, and scale without reworking your entire operation.

Critical Control

Purpose Built • Process Proven

Precision isn’t optional. The Apogee® Thermal Slide Debonder is built for exacting separation with ultra-flat, parallel platens, dual heating, and fine-tuned control of force and speed. Micron-level search and press-force detection safeguard wafers from damage. Every parameter is measured, controlled, and repeatable.

User-Friendly

No Track Needed

Enjoy repeatable performance in a compact, semi-automated system. No oversized footprint. No unnecessary complexity. Just the control and flexibility you need without the cost you don’t. Get track-level results, without the track. 

Flexiblility

One Platform. Multiple sizes. 

No hardware swaps, no downtime. Whether it’s 2-inch R&D or 200mm production wafers, scaling is as simple as changing the recipe. Adapt to varying dimensions, thicknesses, and materials with the precision and repeatability your process demands.

Premium Features Built-In

Engineered for superior performance, usability, versatility—and peace of mind.

Safety

Leading the Charge

NRTL certification is crucial for semiconductor equipment, ensuring compliance with safety standards set by regulatory bodies like OSHA and ANSI.

Cee® debonders are NRTL listed right out of the box…

…your safety department is going to love you.
