Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a method and apparatus for removing back seals from a wafer. Background Technology

[0002] Wafer back sealing is a common process in wafer manufacturing. The usual practice is to use chemical vapor deposition to deposit different films on the wafer, such as depositing oxide films, polysilicon films, and oxide films. Multiple films are deposited on both the front and back sides of the wafer to achieve back sealing. The front film needs to be removed, leaving only the back film.

[0003] The front-side film is typically removed using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or wet processing, leaving the back-side film to protect the wafer. CMP removal of the front-side film is prone to defects. Wet processing of the front-side film can leave residues that can cause defects during subsequent oxide film removal.
