Semiconductor Back-Grinding The silicon wafer on which the active elements are created is a thin circular disc, typically 150mm or 200mm in diameter. During diffusion and similar processes, the wafer may become bowed, but wafers for assembly are normally stress relieved and can be regarded as flat.
MoreFor wafers with diameters of 200 mm, it is typical to start with a wafer thickness of roughly 720 µm and grind it to a thickness of 150 µm or less. The coarse grinding typically removes approximately 90 percent of the excess material. A typical two-step backgrinding operation will use dual spindles with grinding wheels mounted on each spindle.
MoreWafer Backgrind. Wafer Backgrind. Wafer Backgrind is the process of grinding the backside of the wafer to the correct wafer thickness prior to assembly. It is also referred to as 'wafer thinning.'. Wafer backgrinding has not always been necessary, but the drive to make packages thinner and thinner has made it indispensable.

MoreThe back side grinding may be accomplished after the lapping without any other step of substantial removal of wafer material. The polishing of the back side of the wafer may be performed with a CMP machine and may produce a specular surface, visually free of damage under haze lamp inspection, with removal of about 0.5 microns of wafer material. After polishing the front side of the wafer, an epitaxial layer may be produced on the front side of the wafer.

Moregrinding wheel is offset a distance of the radius relative to the axis of rotation for wafer. During grinding, the grinding wheel and wafer rotate about their own axes of rotation simultaneously, and the wheel is fed towards the wafer along its axis.

MoreWafers for MEMS applications are commonly double-side polished. This can be done either by polishing first one side, then flipping the wafer over and polishing the second side, or polishing both sides simultaneously between two rotating polishing pads. The challenge is to retain the good wafer flatness achieved in previous process steps.
