Laser-Based Wafer Dicing & Materials Processing Systems
Halo Industries develops laser-based hardware systems for semiconductor wafer dicing and materials processing in solar, power electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing; raised $70M+ total;
Halo Industries is a deep-tech hardware company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California. The company develops laser-based systems for precision materials processing, with a primary focus on semiconductor wafer dicing — the critical manufacturing step that separates individual chips (dies) from a processed wafer. Traditional wafer dicing uses mechanical diamond blade saws, which generate significant kerf loss (wasted silicon), cause microcracks that reduce die strength, and limit minimum die spacing. Halo's proprietary laser dicing technology uses ultra-fast laser pulses to cleave wafers with near-zero kerf loss, higher die yield per wafer, improved die edge quality, and the ability to dice thinner wafers than blade methods allow.
