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 17):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first, second, and third, ESCs include purge holes, and wherein electrostatically bonding the substrate to one of the ESCs includes vacuum coupling the substrate to the ESC prior to initiating the electrostatic bond between the substrate and the ESC.
