Progress and critical challenges in slicing of thin semiconductor wafers using ultra-fine diamond wire
Abstract
Diamond wire sawing (DWS) has emerged as the dominant wafer slicing technology owing to its superior surface quality, reduced kerf loss, and high processing efficiency. To further reduce costs, the industry is pursuing thinner wafers (
