Studies on grinding characteristics of silicon wafer thinning process

Lin, I-Hsuan 23 August 2006 (has links)
The usual way to remove the silicon layer is used by the solutions of HF and KOH to conduct the etching process, but those chemicals are dangerous for the humans. Therefore, this study proposes the method that uses the diamond millstone to reduce the thickness of the silicon wafer. It hopes that this method can effectively shorten the process time and reduce the amount of chemical pollution. Firstly, the effects of the working pressure, the rotating speed of the wafer, and the diamond millstone on the removing rate of silicon wafer are investigated. Then, the effect of the working pressure on the flatness of the wafer surface is investigated. Finally, the effect of the rotating speed ratio of the wafer to the diamond millstone on the track type of grinding surface is theoretically analyzed. According to the experimental results, the removing rate of silicon wafer is almost linearly proportional to the working pressure, the rotating speed of the wafer, and the diamond millstone. The lighter working pressure, the more flatness of the wafer is. According to the theoretical results, the rotating speed ratio of the wafer to the diamond millstone influences the track type of grinding surface. When this rotating speed ratio is an irrational number, the distribution of grinding track becomes finer.

Effects of the Machining Conditions on Polishing Mechanism of Silicon Wafer for the Continuous Composite Electroplated Polisher

Yang, Sheng-Shiu 28 July 2004 (has links)
In the study, the effects of the machining conditions, ex, machining positions, loads and rotating speed ratio on machining mechanism of wafer are investigated by using the continuous composite electroplated polisher and find the best machining conditions of the polisher. Experimental results show that when the wafer and polisher are full contact, the operating of machinery is most smooth and the flatness is better. When the load is increased, the reducing rate of average roughness¡]Ra¡^and maximum roughness¡]Rmax¡^, removal rate, and the speed of mirror degree are increased. The machining mechanism and the stability of machinery is depended on the value of rotating speed ratio. In the different rotating speed ratio, the flatness of wafer is difference. For example, the rotating speed ratio is 1, the flatness is 1.5 £gm/38 mm. The rotating speed ratio is 2, the flatness is 2.3 £gm/38 mm. Finally, choose the rotating speed ratio, which the values of rotating speed are close and complex on the range of rotating speed which machinery can be operating most stable in machining process. Because of the machining mechanism are similar and the grinding locus are finer. Hence, the flatness of wafer becomes better. When the rotating speed ratio is 1.1, the flatness is 1.46£gm/38 mm. The rotating speed ratio is 1.11, the flatness is 1.45£gm/38 mm. The effect of the rotating speed ratio of the wafer and polisher on the grinding locus type of grinding surface is theoretically analyzed. Results show that when the rotating speed ratio is irregular, the distribution of grinding locus becomes finer. The analyzable results of locus and provable results of experiment are the same.

Micro-Fabricated Hydrogen Sensors Operating at Elevated Temperatures

Lu, Chi 01 January 2009 (has links)
In this dissertation, three types of microfabricated solid-state sensors had been designed and developed on silicon wafers, aiming to detect hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures. Based on the material properties and sensing mechanisms, they were operated at 140°C, 500°C, and 300°C. The MOS-capacitor device working at 140°C utilized nickel instead of the widely-used expensive palladium, and the performance remained excellent. For very-high temperature sensing (500°C), the conductivity of the thermally oxidized TiO2 thin film based on the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrate changed 25 times in response to 5 ppm H2 and the response transient times were just a few seconds. For medium-high temperatures (~300°C), very high sensitivity (over 100 times’ increment of current for H2 concentration at 10 ppm) was obtained through the reversible reduction of the Schottky barrier height between the Pt electrodes and the SnO2 nano-clusters. Fabrication approaches of these devices included standard silicon wafer processing, thin film deposition, and photolithography. Materials characterization methods, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface profilometry, ellipsometry, and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), were involved in order to investigate the fabricated nano-sized structures. Selectivities of the sensors to gases other than H2 (CO and CH4) were also studied. The first chapter reviews and evaluates the detection methodologies and sensing materials in the current research area of H2 sensors and the devices presented this Ph.D. research were designed with regard to the evaluations.

<b>INTELLIGENT MODEL TO DETECT AND CLASSIFY SILICON WAFER MAP IMAGES</b>

Venkata Sai Rushendar Reddy Pilli (18967957) 25 September 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">The study builds and evaluates three advanced neural network models—ResNet-34, EfficientNet B0, and SqueezeNet—for defect detection and classification of silicon wafer map images. The study evaluates the neural network model in two cases, binary and multi-class classifications. The binary classification, which is crucial for promptly determining whether a wafer map is defective, EfficientNet-B0 led with the highest test accuracy of 94.62% and an average accuracy of 93.2%. Similarly, in multi-class classification, necessary for pinpointing specific defect causes early in the manufacturing process, EfficientNet-B0 achieved the top test accuracy of 84.22% with an average accuracy of 84.07%. Further enhancements in the study resulted from strategic pruning of EfficientNet-B0, specifically the removal of Residual Block 2 after convolutional layer visualization revealed minimal impact on accuracy, with a reduction of just 1.33%. These modifications not only refined the learning process but also reduced the model size by 33%, thereby increasing computational efficiency. The integration of Grad-CAM++ visualizations ensured the model focused on pertinent features, thus boosting the transparency and reliability of the defect detection process. The results underscore the potential of advanced neural networks to significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing.</p>

Formação e reatividade de filmes finos de macrocíclicos de ferro sobre silício monocristalino / Formation and reactivity of iron macrocycle thin films on oxidized silicon wafer- SiO2/Si

Andresa, Juliana Salvador 31 October 2007 (has links)
Neste trabalho foi estudado o desenvolvimento de uma superfície modelo de silício monocristalino, SiO2/Si, modificada com organossilanos derivados de N-heterocíclicos que permitisse a imobilização de um complexo de coordenação, FeTIM. Estas superfícies modificadas poderão ser empregadas em estudos de reatividade frente a analitos de interesse, como o NO. Sob esse aspecto, a síntese desses novos silanos, contendo N-heterocíclicos, e o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de formação dos filmes finos automontados, sobre a superfície de SiO2/Si, tornou-se de grande relevância na aplicabilidade deste trabalho. Para a obtenção dessas superfícies, fez-se necessária a compreensão dos parâmetros de formação dos filmes de silanos. Os parâmetros estudados foram os efeitos do tempo de adsorção, da concentração da solução dos silanos, da polaridade do solvente e do tamanho da cadeia alquílica do silano no processo de formação dos filmes. Deste modo, foi possível inferir sobre as alterações na morfologia e na estrutura química dos filmes formados, através de medidas de Espectroscopia de Fotoelétrons excitados por Raios-X (XPS), Microscopia de Força Atômica (AFM) e Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV). A imobilização do complexo de FeTIM sobre a superfície organomodificada foi comprovada pela variação da linha de fotoemissão do Fe 2p nas medidas de XPS. / This work describes the study of model surfaces on oxidized silicon wafer, SiO2/Si, modified with N-heterocycles rings, that allows the grafting of a macrocycle iron complex, FeTIM, that could be used in reactivity studies, with biologically relevant molecules, as nitrogen monoxide (NO). On this way, the synthesis of these silanes and a new methodology of the formation of self-assembled monolayers had become a relevant question on this work applicability. These thin films contain silanes bearing nitrogenated Lewis bases on silicon surfaces. In order to obtain these modified surfaces, it was necessary a comprehensive study of the adsorption parameters of the thin films. The parameters studied were the effect of: adsorption time, the solution concentration, the role of the solvents polarity and the chain length alkylsilanes in the film formation. Then, it was possible to infer about the film\'s morphology differences and chemical structures by the XPS, AFM and MEV measurements. X-ray photoemission lines of Fe 2p were used to probe the iron chemical environment in the chemically adsorbed macrocycles complexes.
