The invention relates to a back
thinning method for an
infrared focal plane detector, which belongs to the technical field of
infrared focal plane detectors and comprises the following steps of: pasting a
chip, smearing a binder on a substrate, and adhering an
infrared focal plane detector chip needing back
thinning to the substrate; clamping, namely clamping the substrate adhered with the
silicon readout circuit and the
indium antimonide photosensitive element
chip onto
a diamond single-point lathe; back
thinning is conducted, specifically, back thinning is conducted on the
indium antimonide photosensitive element chip, and the residual thickness of the
indium antimonide photosensitive element chip is accurately controlled in the
machining process; detection: detecting whether the
surface roughness and the
surface shape precision of the
indium antimonide photosensitive element chip reach the standard or not, if so, carrying out the next process, and if not, carrying out
scrap treatment; and cleaning and
drying: washing the surface of the
indium antimonide photosensitive element chip by using pure water, and blow-
drying by using
nitrogen after washing is completed. The
diamond single-point turning back thinning device has the advantages of being high in
machining speed, small in stress of a machined
detector, low in cost and the like, and has beneficial
economic benefits.
