Stress Analysis on Ultra Thin Ground Wafers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Grinding wafers is a well established process for thinning wafers down to 100 μm for use in smart cards and stacking chips. As a result of the mechanical process, the wafer backside is compressively stressed. In this paper, authors investigate the influence of the backside induced stress in Si wafers thinned down to ~20μm by means of an IR time-of-flight like technique. Such aggressive thinning is a requirement for high density vias interconnect, stacked die packaging and flexible electronics. We found that the thinning process used did not add significant stress value on the thinned wafer.

Low-Field Electron Mobility in Stressed UTB SOI MOSFETs for Different Substrate Orientations
Even though it is well known that ultra-thin body (UTB) SOI MOSFETs have a better scaling potential than bulk devices, the effect of stress on UTB MOSFETs has received less attention until recently (1). In the present work the origin of the stress induced effective electron mobility enhancement ∆μeff in UTB MOSFETs on (001) and (110) wafers is investigated. Since our simulations for stressed (0...

متن کاملSimulation of Process-Stress Induced Warpage of Silicon Wafers Using ANSYS Finite Element Analysis
Wafers warp. It is important to minimize warpage in order to achieve optimal die yield and potentially prevent future device failure. Although the word warpage is widely used in the literature to represent wafer bow (convex or concave shape), in the real world wafers are often seen into warp into saddle shapes. This complicates the characterization of both the sources of and solutions to warpag...

A comprehensive study of Schottky barrier MOSFET (SBMOSFET) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism. Quantum confinement increases the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). (100) orientation provides lower effective Schottky barrier height in compa...
متن کاملLow-cost ultra-thin broadband terahertz beam-splitter.
A low-cost terahertz beam-splitter is fabricated using ultra-thin LDPE plastic sheeting coated with a conducting silver layer. The beam splitting ratio is determined as a function of the thickness of the silver layer--thus any required splitting ratio can be printed on demand with a suitable rapid prototyping technology. The low-cost aspect is a consequence of the fact that ultra-thin LDPE shee...
