Thin Wafer: An Overview

Thin wafers have become a critical component in modern semiconductor manufacturing, enabling the development of smaller, faster, and more efficient electronic devices. A thin wafer is a semiconductor substrate—typically made of silicon—that has been ground and polished to a significantly reduced thickness compared to conventional wafers. This thinning process enhances the wafer’s mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties to meet the demands of advanced applications in electronics, photonics, and MEMS technologies.

What is a Thin Wafer?

A thin wafer usually refers to a semiconductor wafer with a thickness of less than 100 micrometers, although the exact definition can vary depending on the application. These wafers undergo specialized thinning processes such as back-grinding, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and wet or dry etching to achieve the desired thickness while maintaining structural integrity.
