Abstract

The article considers methods of precision thinning of semiconductor wafers and substantiates the expediency of using a glass substrate. The influence of elastic characteristics and thermal expansion coefficients on the deformation of a bilayer structure is analyzed, and the stresses arising during wafer dismantling are investigated to check the reliability of the glass carrier.
