Grinding wheel for low-damage grinding of silicon wafers and its grinding performance
A new Soft Abrasive Grinding Wheel (SAGW) was developed for Chemo-mechanical Grinding (CMG) of silicon wafers to overcome the surface/subsurface damage of the silicon wafer machined by traditional ultra-precision grinding. According to the principle of the CMG and the material characteristics of monocrystalline silicon
the SAGW took the cerium oxide (CeO
2
) as abrasive
silicon dioxide (SiO
2
)as additive
and the chlorine oxide magnesium as binding agent. The preparation process of the SAGW was investigated
and its microstructure and composition were analyzed. By measuring the surface roughness
surface microstructure and the surface/subsurface damage
the grinding performance of the SAGW was further explored. In the end
fabricated silicon wafer with the same particle size by the SAGW
Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) and diamond grinding wheel was compared and analyzed. The results show that the surface roughness of the silicon wafer by the SAGW is less than 1 nm and its subsurface damage layer is about 30 nm in thickness
which is comparable to that produced by the CMG and much better than that of the diamond wheel. This study demonstrates that the developed SAGW achieves the low-damage grinding of silicon wafers.
