Summary:

In this paper, two mechanical thinning techniques were applied by using the 3D die curvature thinning and 2D flat thinning on flip chip Si backside. The impact of process parameters on die planarity and fault isolation were also discussed. The experimental results demonstrate the UltraPrep system’s high uniformity cross the large die size and provide a very good solution for fault isolation techniques.
