Silicon wafer edge rounding Silicon is very hard, but brittle material. The sharp edge of sawn wafers fractures readily, producing unacceptable edge chips and particles. This edge is ground with a diamond disk to remove the damage and to eliminate periferical stress. By edge grinding, the final diameter of the wafer is fitted.

"Edge trimming" effectively removes the rounded shape on the outer edge of the wafer which causes edge chipping, preventing the wafer from breaking. In this review, we report the effects of edge trimming, which has been adopted for improving yield when performing ultra-thin wafer grinding. 1. Introduction During wafer ultra-thinning, the ...

Edge rounding. Silicon is very hard, yet brittle material. The sharp edge of sawn wafers fractures readily, producing unacceptable edge chips and particles. In order to minimize the risk of breakage, the SEMI standard forecasts an edge really specific. This edge is ground with a diamond disk to remove the damages and eliminate peripheral stress ...

the Wafer Edge with edge trimming. the Wafer Edge without edge trimming. Improving Die Strength (Stress Relief) The processing quality of ultra-thin finishing grinding can also be improved by using the Poligrind wheel, but a layer of powder (albeit slight) remains on the wafer surface due to processing using a grinding wheel.

This edge is ground with a diamond disk to remove the damages and eliminate peripheral stress. By edge grinding, the final diameter of the wafer is adjusted (Accuracy up to 0.02 mm). During this process, we adjust also the flat (major and minor) according the SEMI standard. Specific profile On customer's request, we provide non-standard wafer.

Edge grinding can be performed on either bare or fully processed silicon or SOI wafers with devices. Materials other than silicon or SOI can also be processed on edge grinding equipment upon request (GaAs, GaSb, glass, and more). Edge profiles typically meet the industry standard SEMI M1 T/3 Template requirement.

A silicon wafer was thinned by the 600 diamond wheel (grinding mode: down-grinding, down-feed rate: 20 μm/min, other parameters are shown in Table 1) from 700 μm to 100 μm thickness and the edge chipping was measured when wafer thickness was thinned in a 50 μm step size. The measurement data are listed in Table 2.

Edge Grind Wheels. Edge grind wheels are manufactured with tightly distributed fine grade synthetic diamond particles to enable and provide a more consistent wafer-to-wafer edge grind process. Wheels can be tailored to your desired groove dimensions and adjusted to a grit size of up to 3,000 for fine grind applications.
