How to use LatticeGear Cleaving and Scribing Tools
Accessories and Consumables
Small Sample Cleaver-Handheld Cleaving Tool
Already have a way to create the scribe or indent on a small sample but need to cleave accurately without excessive handling. See how to use unique holders (no screws or springs) to process the sample and cleave with the Small Sample Cleaver (SSC).
Using Cleanbreak Pliers
This video will show you how to use your Cleanbreak pliers to get the best results on a wide variety of samples. It will also explain which jaws to use for your application and how to install and remove the replaceable jaws.
Downsizing a whole wafer using handheld scribing and cleaving tools
Using tools from LatticeGear’s scribing and cleaving kits you can cleanly downsize a whole wafer. See how it is done.

FlexScribe Scribing Tool
FlexScribe Station
The FlexScribe is LatticeGear’s latest scribing tool. It is simple to use, fast and clean. The perfect addition to every laboratory. It scribes using a tungsten carbide cutter and always makes a straight scribe. No rulers or straight edges to damage your samples. Cut everything from tempered glass to silicon wafers.
FlipScribe® Scribing Machine
FlipScribe 100
Need to cleave a sample but can’t touch or damage the surface? Use the FlipScribe backside scribing tool.
How to set the height and tilt of the FlipScribe Scriber
The FlipScribe is a scribing tool with a scriber that scribes the back of the sample. The diamond scriber, tilt and height are adjustable. This video shows how to adjust it.
Scribing at 45 degrees using the FlipScribe and Custom Holders
When the lithography is printed at 45 degrees to the crystal orientation (typical with memory) cleaving also needs to be performed at 45 degrees. See how it is done using a special holder and the FlipScribe.
Loading a sample into the FlipScribe holder for small samples
Load and sample into the small sample holder and also see how to cleave it with the small sample pliers.

LatticeAx 120
Learn about the features and benefits of the LatticeAx platform including making an accurate “weak point” and cleaving the sample.
LatticeAx 225
The LatticeAx 225 makes accurate cleaving simple and repeatable. Watch it at work!
LatticeAx 420
The LatticeAx 420 is LatticeGear’s highest performance indenting and cleaving tool. See it’s high resolution microscope and integrated digital camera in action.
LatticeAx 420 Cleaving Process
Use the LatticeAx to downsize substrates or making SEM ready cross sections with the. It accurately indents prior to cleaving for the highest accuracy sample preparation performance.
