Fully Automatic Wafer Grinding Polisher

The Fully Automatic Wafer Grinding Polisher maintains the dry-in-dry-out grinding mode and is specifically integrates Stress Relief System. This system effectively reduces the risk of wafer transfer between the grinding and polishing stages and achieves an epi-ready condition on independent equipment. Additionally, the Stress Relief System minimizes wafer stress non-uniformity, enhancing the wafer’s toughness and reducing the risk of chipping during the back grinding process. Furthermore, the stress relief system can be tailored to the wafer material, offering a choice between dry polishing and CMP polishing for wider applicability.

Engineering Intents

Enables all-in-one, fully automatic grinding and stress-free processing

Stress-free processing can be selected as DP (Dry Polishing) or CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing)

The four vacuum chucks are driven by an The four vacuum chucks are driven by an aerostatic rotary platform

Configured with a non-contact Bernoulli end effector

The stress relief zone and the grinding zone are isolated

The surface roughness Sa of the output silicon wafer after CMP processing can be less than 0.1 nanometers, and the flatness can be less than 1 micrometer.

Features


1. Microporous Ceramic Chuck Table

The ceramic material, sintered at high temperatures, forms uniform “ant-nest” structures for even vacuum force distribution, preventing wafer damage. It is 11.8% stronger than similar ceramics and integrated with the worktable’s sealing module for enhanced precision and stability. Learn More

2. DYAN-X Control Software

DYAN-X is a human-machine interface (HMI) control software designed specifically for the Wafering Series, based on the Windows operating system. The software features an intuitive and straightforward design, enabling users to quickly understand and easily operate the system. Learn More

3. Air Bearing Spindle

The air bearing grinding spindle uses dry, clean air through microporous layers to support the rotor shaft against the stator, enabling fast, smooth rotation without contact, ensuring exceptional accuracy and stability. Learn More

4. Stress Relief System

The Stress Relief System is an additional process station featured in the triple-spindle model, specifically designed to reduce the internal stress within wafers, thereby enhancing the yield of wafer processing. Learn More

5. In-Machine Thickness Gauges

A high-precision thickness gauge ensures consistent grinding precision and accurate offset measurements for wheel wear. DYAN offers three options for monitoring wafer thickness under various grinding conditions. Learn More
