The Processes Involved in Creating the Ultra-Thin Silicon Wafer Back Grinding. Compared to other processes, back grinding makes use of a more conventional yet faster approach. Aside from the fact that it creates low variation, it also produces a good surface finish. Furthermore, a reduction of the wafer size to a dimension fitting is made prior ...
The most common and relative low cost thinning method is back grinding by means of mechanical removal of the residual silicon. The wafer is fixed on a porous vacuum chuck with the IC (integrated circuit) side down. The rotation axis of the grinding wheel is positioned off-axis to the rotation axis of the wafer (distance is the radius of the wafer).
Silicon wafer back grinding is generally divided into two steps: rough grinding and fine grinding. In the rough grinding stage, the diamond wheel with grit 46 # ~ 500 #, the axial feed speed is ...
The first step of back grinding is tape lamination. This is a type of coating, which is a process to attach adhesive tape to the front of a wafer. When conducting back grinding, the silicon compound spreads in all directions, and the wafer can be …
Global flatness metrics defined for silicon wafers include: GFLR (Global flatness–Front surface–Least squares reference plane–Range) GBIR (Global flatness–Back surface–Ideal reference plane–Range) (Diebold and Goodall 1999 and Huff et al. 1993) Bookmark this page. More information may be added.
Wafer backgrinding, or wafer thinning, is a semiconductor manufacturing process designed to reduce wafer thickness. This essential manufacturing step produces ultra-thin wafers for stacking and high-density packaging in compact …
