wafer grinding process
Improving the SiC Wafer Process
Process time and throughput vary greatly among the process steps in the wafering sequence. Edge grind is one of the shortest steps at somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes per wafer. Dr. Rhoades commented that there are many assumptions around lapping and surface-grinding approach, and they depend on how many wafers you are …

Subsurface Damage Detection on Ground Silicon Wafers Using Polarized
Abstract. A silicon wafer is important for the electronic and computer industries. However, subsurface damage (SSD), which is detrimental to the performance and lifetime of a silicon chip, is easily induced in a silicon wafer during a grinding process since silicon is typically a hard and brittle material. Therefore, it is necessary to detect …

Warping of silicon wafers subjected to back-grinding process
Wafer warping from a grinding-based thinning process is reportedly related to grinding damage and residual stresses. Assuming a uniform layer of grinding-induced damage, Zhou et al. [5] proposed a mathematical model using the Stoney formula, in which wafer warp was a function of damage depth, residual stress and wafer thickness.

What is Wafer Thinning?
A grinding tape is applied to the front side of the wafer to protect the devices from being damaged during thinning. For conventional grinding the thinning is a two-step process. The first step is a coarse grind that performs the bulk of the material removal. The second step is a fine grind. The fine grind typically removes 30µm of material or ...

Study into grinding force in back grinding of wafer with outer rim
Back grinding of wafer with outer rim (BGWOR) is a new method for carrier-less thinning of silicon wafers, and its working principle is shown in Fig. 1. Different from conventional back grinding, the BGWOR process only grinds the inner area of the silicon wafer and leaves a rim (approximately 3–5 mm) on its outer circumference [ 4, 5, 6 ].
