NON-SILICONE, NON-EVA BASED COMPRESSIBLE BACKGRINDING AND THINNING TEMPORARY BONDING ADHESIVE TAPES FOR BUMPED WAFERS AND SUBSTRATES WITH UP TO 250 MICRON BUMP HEIGHTS:
The configuration of the temporary bonding adhesive tapes are engineered for high reliability for wafers and substrates with extensive bumped features or flat with nominal or no features.
- Protect and encapsulate the gold, solder or copper bumps or columns during the backgrinding and thinning process
- All component materials in the temporary bonding tapes are engineered with high molecular stability to withstand high temperature exposure up to 250°C.
- Typical temporary bonding and backgrinding operations leave no or minimal residual on the wafers or substrates and require no cleaning.
- Any minor residual after extended high temperature and /or high pressure operations may be easily cleaned with IPA rinsing.
AIT Backgrinding Tape Adhesive General Features:
- Non-contaminating low ionic adhesive that is engineered for wafer thinning application
- Strong adhesion to wafer with hydrophobic property to prevent water seepage for stable consistent backgrinding
- Consistent bond strength during grinding process
- Withstands high temperature and maintains high temperature peel strength
- On-Demand ease to peel release upon UV exposure
- Proven for wafer, panel of modules, glass and other substrate
- Adhesive-compliant buffer layer of 500 micron on strong transparent substrate for solder-bumped wafer thinning
- 100 micron adhesive layer on strong transparent substrate for gold-bumped wafer thinning
The extensive AIT reversible temporary bonding adhesive solutions are engineered specifically for the processing of compound semiconductors and often require back-thinning of the processed wafers or backside lithography. Wafers of GaAs, InP, SiC and other compounds are expensive and have relatively poor mechanical properties.
AIT reversible bonding wax film and spin coating adhesive solutions are also ideal for carrier or submount substrate back-thinning and backside lithography processing. These carrier or submount substrates are typically sapphire, quartz, glass, or in some cases Si wafers.
BACKGRINDING & THINNING TEMPORARY BONDING TAPE ADHESIVE SOLUTIONS for WAFERS and SUBSTRATES
- UV, Heat & Peel Releasing Adhesive Tapes for Bumped Wafer or Substrate
- High Temperature and Anti-Static for More Reliable Operations
Wafers requiring grinding and thinning to 50 microns needs high performance adhesion and yet easily release on demand either by UV or heat curing
AIT wafer and substrate grinding and thinning temporary bonding adhesive tapes are made in the United States with Company Service Centers in China and USA. The high temperature controlled release tape has a conformable compressible layer of 150 and 300 micron thickness to accommodate bumped wafers with gold or solder bumps respectively.
AIT UV releasing temporary bonding tape adhesives offer options of different operational bond strength and PET or LCP carrier base film for operations at 150C and 250C respectively.
