    The document defines the Deflash/Trim/Form/Singulation (DTFS) process which consists of four steps: 1) deflash removes excess plastic from newly molded parts, 2) trim cuts dambars that connect leads, 3) form shapes the leads correctly, and 4) singulation separates individual units by cutting tie bars. DTFS related failures can include package cracking from excessive mechanical stress during the process, or die cracking also caused by stress transmitted from the package to the die.

    Deflash/Trim/Form/Singulati on (DTFS)
    Engr. Deorex David Navaja

    Deflash/Trim/Form/Singulation (DTFS)
    consists of the four steps indicated in its name. These steps are defined below. 1. Deflash - removal of flashes from the package of the newly molded parts.. Flashes are the excess plastic material sticking out of the package edges right after molding. 2. Trim - cutting of the dambars that short the leads together.

    3. Form - forming of the leads into the correct shape and position. 4. Singulation - cutting of the tie bars that attach the individual units to the leadframe, resulting in the individual separation of each unit from the leadframe.

    DTFS related Failures

    Package Cracking - occurrence of fracture anywhere in the package, often due to excessive mechanical stresses imparted by the DTFS process to the package.
    Die Cracking - occurrence of fracture anywhere in the die. In the context of DTFS, die cracking is commonly caused by excessive mechanical stresses imparted by the DTFS process to the package, which may be transmitted to the die. In some cases, the package will withstand these stresses but the die will not.
