Silicon wafers are the most widely used substrates for fabricating integrated circuits (ICs). The quality of ICs depends directly on the quality of silicon wafers. A series of processes are required to manufacture high quality silicon wafers. Simultaneous double side grinding (SDSG) is one of the processes to flatten the wire-sawn wafers.
Wafer dicing processes are no longer limited to the basic principle of separating a silicon wafer into individual die. Many dies find purpose in computers, and also in sophisticated machinery used in the medical and defense industries. Wafer dicing can be achieved through scribing and breaking, by mechanical sawing, or by laser cutting.

Silicon wafers are used for the production of most microchips. Various processes are needed to transfer a silicon crystal ingot into wafers. As one of such processes, surface grinding of silicon wafers has attracted attention among various investigators and a limited number of articles can be found in the literature.
· Rotating grinding is the most commonly used technique in silicon wafer thinning, while it will induce edge chipping as wafer thickness decrease. This will lead to wafer breakage, and thus resulting in cost waste. This study investigates edge chipping of silicon wafers in rotating grinding.
Their first model (DFG-83H/6) of wafer grinder was of creep-feed type, built in 1981, for back grinding of 150 mm silicon wafers. A later model (DFG840) of in-feed type was built in 1994 for back grinding of 200 mm wafers and its modified version (DFG840HS) was introduced to flattening of sliced wafers. Table 1.
Wafer thinning or grinding is a technology to reduce the wafer thickness. It is also referred as backgrinding or backthinning. Usually it is performed in several steps with different grinding wheels. With each step the grit becomes finer to remove subsurface damage of the previous step and to further reduce surface roughness.
Wafer lapping is a global planarization process that improves wafer flatness by removing surface damage, often from backside grinding. It is most common on silicon wafers, although certain applications require gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) wafers to undergo this process as well. Lapping takes place between two counter ...
