Wafer thinning or grinding is a technology to reduce the wafer thickness. It is also referred as backgrinding or backthinning. Usually it is performed in several steps with different grinding wheels. With each step the grit becomes finer to remove subsurface damage of the previous step and to further reduce surface roughness.
The Semiconductor Wafer Polishing and Grinding Equipment Market was valued at USD 368.31 million in 2020, and it is expected to reach 468.60 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 4.1%. The growing need for miniaturization in the electronics is expected to drive some advancements in the semiconductor wafer polishing and grinding equipment market over the forecast period.
After the wafers have been sliced, the lapping process begins. Lapping the wafer removes saw marks and surface defects from the front and backside of the wafer. It also thins the wafer and helps to relieve stress accumulated in the wafer from …
It is for grinding of the substrates of semiconductor such as silicon wafers, SiC and sapphire with a high degree of accuracy. Double side grinder of silicon wafer It is for double-sided simultaneous grinding of sliced silicon wafers.
With a 2000 grit grinding process, the stress required to break the die was 50 percent higher than the stress needed to break a die with a (larger) 1200 grit grinding process. Figure 2 shows the method of applying the test force to the die, and Figure 3 shows the difference in the scratches on the wafers using different grits to grind the silicon.
