Abstract

One of the most critical aspects of the semiconductor industry is the quality of the wafer surface. And the vibrations of wafer grinder are supposed to be the most dominant factors to damage the wafer surface quality. In this study, structure of a wafer grinder has been analyzed through experiments and computer simulations to figure out the main reasons of the vibrations. And the design alterations based on the analysis were applied to identify the effects of those alterations on the vibration suppression. The result shows that the design alterations can effectively suppress about 90% of the vibrations.
