Abstract:
Embodiments include a method for processing thin substrates. Embodiments may include electrostatically bonding a substrate to a first electrostatic carrier (ESC), with a backside of the substrate is facing away from the first ESC. Thereafter, the substrate may be thinned to form a thinned substrate. The thinned substrate may then be transferred to a second ESC with a front side of the thinned substrate facing away from the second ESC. Embodiments may include cleaning the front side surface of the thinned substrate and transferring the thinned substrate to a third ESC. In an embodiment, a backside of the thinned substrate is facing away from the third ESC. Embodiments may also include processing the backside surface of the thinned substrate, and transferring the thinned substrate to a tape frame.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for processing thin substrates, comprising:\n electrostatically bonding a substrate to an electrostatic carrier (ESC); thinning the substrate to form a thinned substrate; processing the thinned substrate, wherein the thinned substrate remains attached to the ESC during the processing of the thinned substrate, and wherein the processing comprises one or more of an etching process, a cleaning process, and a deposition process; and transferring the thinned substrate to a tape frame.
