A study on wafer processing using backgrinding system

Recently, there has been extensive research conducted on the miniaturization of semiconductors and the improvement of their integration to achieve high-quality and high-performance electronic devices. To integrate and miniaturize multiple semiconductors, thin and precise wafers are essential. The backgrinding process, which involves high-precision processing, is necessary to achieve this. The backgrinding system is used to grind and polish the back side of the wafer to reduce its thickness to ㎛ units. This enables the high integration and miniaturization of semiconductors and a flattening process to allow for detailed circuit design, ultimately leading to the production of IC chips. As the backgrinding system performs precision processing at the ㎛ unit, it is crucial to determine the stability of the equipment's rigidity. Additionally, the flatness and surface roughness of the processed wafer must be checked to confirm the processability of the backgrinding system. IIn this paper, the goal is to verify the processability of the back grinding system by analyzing the natural frequency and resonance frequency of the equipment through computer simulation and measuring and analyzing the flatness and surface roughness of wafers processed with backgrinding system. It was confirmed whether processing damage occurred due to vibration during the backgrinding process.
