Wafer Backgrinding Services | Silicon Wafer Thinning

Wafer backgrinding, or wafer thinning, is an essential semiconductor service designed to reduce wafer thickness to integrate and package circuits in smaller electronic devices. Syagrus Systems is an experienced provider of ISO 9001:2015 certified wafer grinding services. Our engineers can achieve your desired thickness and surface smoothness without damaging or compromising the strength of your silicon wafers. We use the 3M™ Wafer Support System to meet demands for extremely thin silicon wafers and dies used in complex applications. Whether you have one or several thousand silicon wafers that require thinning or back grinding, we have the right solution for your project.

Syagrus Systems can take your thin wafer all the way to a singulated die form through our comprehensive silicon wafer servicesContact us today to learn more about our abilities and wafer thinning processes. Request a quote to start your order.

Syagrus Systems Wafer Backgrind Process 

Expert Wafer Backgrinding Processes

Syagrus Systems utilizes a diamond-resin bonded grinding wheel to remove the silicon material from the back of a wafer. Our experienced specialists efficiently remove the bulk of substrate material on the wafer before the final finish grind, or polish. Deionized water is used to wash debris from the surface and prevent contamination.

All Syagrus Systems’ wafer backgrinding is performed in a class 10K cleanroom with critical thin wafer taping processes performed at a class 100 workstation. UV curable or standard adhesive backgrinding tape is temporarily applied to protect your silicon wafers from damage during wafer grinding.
