Latest Patents

Andrew Wong holds a patent for "Cyclic olefin polymer compositions and polysiloxane release layers for use in temporary wafer bonding processes." This invention broadly relates to cyclic olefin polymer bonding compositions and release compositions, which can be used independently or together. These compositions enable thin wafer handling during microelectronics manufacturing, especially during a full-wafer mechanical debonding process. The release compositions consist of siloxane polymers and copolymers blended in a polar solvent, demonstrating stability at room temperature for over a month. The cyclic olefin polymer bonding compositions provide high thermal stability, can bond to fully-treated carrier wafers, and can be mechanically or laser debonded after high-temperature heat treatment. They are also easily removed with an industrially-acceptable solvent. Wafers bonded according to this invention show lower overall post-grind stack TTV compared to other commercial bonding materials and can withstand 200°C PECVD processing.
