In order to ensure high quality chips with high yield, the base material, semiconductor wafers (over 90% are silicon), must have superior quality. It is critically important to develop new manufacturing processes that allow silicon wafer manufacturers to produce high quality wafers at a reasonably low cost. A newly patented technology—fine grinding of etched silicon wafers—has great potential to manufacture very flat silicon wafers more cost-effectively. This paper presents an investigation of grinding marks in fine grinding. The investigation covers (1) nature of grinding marks, (2) factors that have effects on grinding marks, and (3) approaches to reduce grinding marks. Varying chuck speed during grinding operation is shown to be a very effective approach to reduce grinding marks. Conclusions from this study have direct impacts to the silicon wafer industry.

ABSTRACTHigh quality GaAs layers have been grown by chemical beam epitaxy using triethylgallium and arsine. Undoped GaAs epilayer with net acceptor concentration NA - ND = 3}10 14cm-3 has been obtained at a low growth temperature of 500°C. Si dopant diffusion at such low temperature during growth is negligible. Using monolayer doping technique epilayers with Si impurities localized in a 2-dimensional plane were prepared. Capacitance-voltage profiling showed a high sheet electron concentration of lx1013cm-2 and peak widths of 22Å and 18Å at 300K and 77K, respectively, which are the narrowest ever reported. For samples grown or annealed at higher temperatures, significant impurity diffusion was observed.
