Mirror surface finish of Si-wafers has been achieved by rotary in-feed machining with cup-type wheels in ELID grinding. But the diameter of the workpiece is limited with the diameter of grinding wheel in the in-feed machining method. In this study, grinding experiments by the rotary surface grinding machine with straight type wheels ware conducted, by which the possible grinding area of the workpiece is independent of the diameter of the wheels. For the purpose of investigating the grinding characteristics of large scale diametrical silicon wafer, grinding conditions such as rotation speed of grinding wheels and revolution of workpieces are varied, and grinding machine used in this experiment is rotary type surface grinding n/c equipment with an ELID wit. The surface ground using the SD8000 wheels showed that mirror like surface roughness can be attained near 2 - 6 nm in Ra.

3D integration 기술 특히 W2W integration 기술은 전자산업의 디바이스 scaling 문제를 해결하고 고성능화 소형화 추세에 맞춘 가장 핵심적인 기술 방향이다. 그러나 W2W integration 기술은 현재 가격과 생산수율의 장애를 가지고 있고, 이를 해결하기 위해서 웨이퍼 매칭, 리던던시, 다이 면적 축소, 배선 층 수 축소와 같은 디자인 연구들이 진행되고 있다. W2W integration 기술이 대량생산으로 연결되기 위해서는 우선적으로 웨이퍼 본딩, 실리콘연삭, TSV 배선 공정의 최적화가 이루어져야 하겠지만, 가격을 포함한 생산수율을 높이기 위해서는 반드시 디자인 연구가 선행되어야 하겠다.

최근 유연 소자, 투명 소자, MEMS 소자와 같은 다양한 소자를 결합하는 시스템 집적화 기술이 많이 개발되고 있다. 이러한 다종 소자 시스템 제조 기술의 핵심 공정은 칩 또는 웨이퍼 레벨의 접합 공정, 기판 연삭 공정, 그리고 박막 기판 핸들링 기술이라 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 Si 기판 연삭 공정이 투명 박막 트랜지스터나 유연 전극 소재로 적용되는 산화주석 박막의 전기적 성질에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. Si 기판의 두께가 얇아질수록 Si d-spacing은 감소하였고, Si 격자 내에 strain이 발생하였다. 또한, Si 기판의 두께가 얇아질수록 산화주석 박막 내 캐리어 농도가 감소하여 전기전도도가 감소하였다. 얇은 산화 주석 박막의 경우 전기전도도는 두꺼운 산화 주석 박막보다 낮았으며 Si 기판의 두께에 의해 크게 변하지 않았다.

In recent years, the tribological behavior of coated ceramic material has been the topic of much interest. Particularly, the understanding of the tribological performance of thin film under light load is important for potential applications in MEMS. In this work under light load and low speed, the tribological behavior of coated silicon was investigated. The results show that both adhesive and abrasive wear occur depending on the sliding condition. Also the effect of humidity on friction was influenced by the apparent ares of contact between the two surfaces. Finally, undulations on the silicon wafer were found to be effective in trapping wear particles.

Silicon wafers are required to be finished under the roughness of nanometer order for the subsequent chip fabrication processes. Recently, the finish grinding techniques have been researched for the improvement of accuracy and surface roughness simultaneously. Among them, the grinding technique using fine abrasive has been known as an easily accessible method. However, the manufacture of the fine grit grinding wheel has been very difficult because of the coherence of the grits. In this paper, the development of the ultrafine grit silica($SiO_2$) grinding wheel by the combination of the binder coating and the vacuum forming techniques is reported. And, the mechanochemical removal effects of the grinding conditions are discussed. Finally, a successful result of Ra O.4nm. Rmax 4nm in the ground surface roughness of a 6 inch silicon wafer was achieved.

In this paper, the structural design optimization of a wafer grinding machine using a multi-step optimization with genetic algorithm is presented. The design problem, in this study, is to find out the optimum configuration and dimensions of structural members which minimize the static compliance, the dynamic compliance, and the weight of the machine structure simultaneously under several design constraints. The first design step is shape optimization, in which the best structural configuration is found by getting rid of structural members that have no contributions to the design objectives from the given initial design configuration. The second and third steps are sizing optimization. The second design step gives a set of good design solutions having higher fitness for lightweight and minimum static compliance. Finally the best solution, which has minimum dynamic compliance and weight, is extracted among those good solution set. The proposed design optimization method was successfully applied to the structural design optimization of a high precision wafer grinding machine. After optimization, both static and dynamic compliances are reduced more than $92\%\;and\;93\%$ compared with the initial design, which was designed empirically by experienced engineers. Moreover the weight of the optimized structure are also slightly reduced than before.

This study has been focused on application of ELID lapping process for mirror-surface machining of sapphire wafer. Sapphire wafer is a superior material with optic properties of high performance as light transmission, thermal conductivity, hardness and so on. High effective surface machining technology is necessary to use sapphire as various usages. The interval ELID lapping process has been set up for lapping of the sapphire material. According to the ELID lapping experimental results, it shows that 12.5 kg of load for lapping is most pertinent to ELID lapping. the surface of sapphire can be eliminated by metal bonded wheel with micron abrasives and the surface roughness of 60 nmRa can be gotten using grinding wheel of 2,000 mesh in 4.5 um, depth of cut. In this study, the chemical experiments after ELID grinding also has been conducted to check chemical reaction between workpiece and grinding wheel on ELID grinding process. It shows that the chemical reaction has not happened as the results of the chemical experiments.

수평 Bridgman 방법으로 성장한 사파이어 인고트를 절단 연마한 후, 사파이어 결정기판의 표면을 우레탄 천 위에서 실리카 졸을 사용하여 폴리싱하였다. 표면의 결정성을 X-선 회절을 통하여 조사하였으며, 2중 결정회절에 의한 반치폭은 200~400 arcsec을 가지며, 결정 인고트의 절편화 또는 양면 연삭 연마에 따른 잔류응력에 의한 표면에서의 기계적인 스트레스에 의해 결정성이 손상되어진다. 화학-기계적인 폴리싱공정을 수행한 수에 표면처리로 $1,200^{\circ}C$로 4시간 열처리 및 산처리를 연속적으로 수행할 경우 결정성이 반치폭 8.3 arcsec까지 줄어들어 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In recent years, LSI devices have become more powerful and lower-priced, caused by a development of various wafer materials and an increase in the diameter of wafers. On the other hand, these have created some serious problems in manufacturing of wafers because materials used as semiconductor substrate are very brittle. In view of this fact, there are some trials to apply shear-mode(or ductile-mode) grinding for efficient manufacturing of semiconductor wafers instead of conventional lapping process. In fact grinding process that has not only more excellent degree of accuracy but also more adaptable to fully automated manufacturing than lapping, is already used in Si machining field. This paper described the elementary studies to establish the grinding technology of wafers. First, we investigated the variation of grinding force and the transition of grinding mode as various grinding conditions. Then, it was inspected that the change of grinding force affected the integrity such as the topography and the roughness of ground surfaces, and led to the chemical defects generation and distribution in damaged layer. The degree of defects was estimated by FT-IR(Fourier Transformed Infrared) Spectroscopy and Auger Electron Spectroscopy
