Cleaving and Scribing Kits, Accessories
Cleaving Kit
The complete tool set to scribe and cleave cleanly. This is a critical step to getting the best cross-sections. The kit includes two diamond scribes for marking and scribing, one pen style diamond scribe and pliers for cleaving. This kit is suitable for a wide variety of substrates and wafers (Si, GaAs, glass). The standard configuration includes one each:
- Diamond Scribe-Pen style
- Diamond Scribe-straight tip
- Diamond Scribe- 30 degree tip
- Tweezers with black soft fiber fine tip (length 6¼")
- CleanBreak Pliers-Wafer cleaving pliers.
- Clear plastic ruler with metric and US units
- Tungsten cleaving wire
Optional Cleaving Kit with Mat
The kit includes a large 12x18" wafer mat.
Note: Always remember to use safety glasses when cleaving the wafer.| 7642 | Cleaving Kit | each | 275.00 | Add to Cart |

Small Sample Scribing and Cleaving Kit
Scribing and cleaving kit for small samples. Includes a clear ruler with metric and imperial/US units, fine tipped Sharpie® for marking the sample, sample handling tweezers, pen style diamond scriber for scribing prior to cleaving, and small sample pliers for cleaving and a handy carrying case to keep all of the tools together. The small sample pliers are custom, handheld cleaving pliers for cleaving samples into pieces from 1 - 30 mm. Pliers are stainless steel covered with plastic handles for strong grip with soft nylon covered jaws that do not damage your sample. Good for thin and small samples, lightweight and easy to use. Instructions included.

Small Sample Cleaver
Simple mechanics make the SSC an important addition to the cross section sample preparation workflow.
Using simple mechanics, the Small Sample Cleaver (SSC) uses a novel sample holder and a cleaving platform to safely cleave samples into chips as small as 2 x 2 mm. The novel sample holder allows samples from 4-10 mm to be held during indenting and cleaving. No more handling samples directly with fingers. Gloved hands are ok, the holder has no screws, springs or pins.
Features and Benefits
- Easy to use
- Indent small samples (4-10 mm) using a novel sample holder designed for use with the LatticeAx™
- Safely cleave samples as small as 4 mm by 3 mm accurately and repeatedly
- Repeatable cleaving of small samples without manual handling
- Can be operated securely with gloved hands; no more handling samples directly with fingers
- No more fumbling; no need for screws, springs or pins
- Sample hold-downs accept samples of various widths (3-15 mm)
- Sample cleaving pins easily transfer between the indent position on the LatticeAx™ and SSC cleaving position
- Two cleaving pins accommodate various sample types
- The small sample cleaver (SSC) base comes with 4 magnetic hold-downs
- Guage sets the sample for a 0.5 mm indent (versus the standard 1 mm)
- A storage case secures all components
