Optimising Wafer Support for Greater Efficiency
Demand for semiconductors has been growing steadily in recent years. Substrates and wafers in particular are finding use in a variety of emerging technologies, such as imaging, MEMS, 3D sensing, semiconductors, biotechnology and medicine.
Faced with these growing demands, semiconductor manufacturers need to optimise their process for manufacturing supports or substrates, one of the essential elements in the manufacture of semiconductors. To do this, they need to implement a production line that optimises their productivity and guarantees the integrity of their products. Whatever the sector in which these substrates are used, they must be of high quality and free from contaminants.
For the semiconductor industry, entrusting the manufacture of semiconductors to a specialist company like MGA Technologies enables them to gain operational efficiency. This solution enables them to gain in productivity, as they are able to concentrate more on their core business. They can request customisation of their wafer carriers, according to the requirements and constraints of their manufacturing processes.
Current Wafer Carrier Innovations and Trends in the Semiconductor Sector
Wafer carrier manufacturing is currently undergoing a period of significant innovation. Companies are deploying innovative technological solutions to ensure that carriers meet user expectations.
Wafer carriers are used, for example, as high-precision support materials for temporary adhesion of fan-outs and RF integrated circuits in the encapsulation of 3D integrated circuits. Glass supports make it possible to thin silicon and manipulate thin silicon wafers.
Many micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) also use wafer supports in the semiconductor industry. These serve as functional capsules or transparent optical windows for hermetic packages. They have the particularity of having a coefficient of thermal expansion identical to that of wafers, which allows an anodic bond. Wafer supports also ensure low levels of dielectric loss. They are therefore used in a variety of high-frequency or RF applications.
Silicon wafer supports are also used for SEM imaging of particles thanks to their low background. In the biological field, they are used because their characteristics are identical to those of glass. They are used to promote cell development. Wafer supports come in various formats: 2″, 4″, 6″. Call on MGA Technologies to supply you with wafer carriers for the semiconductor industry.
