Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of handling a thin wafer includes forming a support structure at the edge of a thinned wafer that is encapsulated by a protection layer. The support structure can be an adhesive layer enclosing the protection layer, a dielectric-filled trench embedded in the thinned wafer and surrounding the protection layer, or a housing affixing the edge of the thinned wafer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: providing a wafer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; attaching the first surface of the wafer to a carrier, exposing the second surface of the wafer; thinning the wafer from the second surface, forming a thinned wafer; bonding a plurality of dies onto the thinned wafer, wherein each die of the plurality of dies having a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface of each die is…
