To answer your question, the better the water quality the less garbage you put on your wafers. Why only 0.5 � 1.0 MOhm-cm why not higher? We have successfully used 10 MOhm-cm or better to dice wafers but more importantly we have low silica levels. At times when the solubilized silica in the water systems from your local water treatment plant are high you will coat the bond pads with this soluble silica and make bonding difficult or impossible at times. So better water quality also minimizes the amount of chloride, fluoride, sulfate, sodium and ammines as well as any silica, or particulate debris.
