Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of grinding fluids, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency and precision grinding fluid for silicon wafers. Background Art

[0002] In the process of silicon wafer processing, grinding plays a very important role. Because during the slicing process, it is almost impossible to make the silicon wafer have the required degree of curvature, warpage, and flatness. And during the silicon wafer polishing process, since the removal amount is relatively small, it is also impossible to significantly improve the surface quality of the silicon wafer. Therefore, the grinding process plays a role in improving the surface quality of the silicon wafer before polishing.

[0003] Polyamine 19-C is the grinding fluid with the largest sales volume in the world in suspension form. However, polyamine-19C is expensive, has a high viscosity, a serious surface adsorption ratio, and is not easy to clean, resulting in easy appearance of mottles on the surface of the grinding disc after cleaning, which directly affects the yield of the grinding disc and also causes harm to the processing of the next process.
