Latest Patents
One of Andy Constant's notable patents is titled "Automated apparatus to temporarily attach substrates to carriers without adhesives for processing." This invention includes a method for processing thin substrates, which involves electrostatically bonding a substrate to a first electrostatic carrier (ESC). The backside of the substrate faces away from the first ESC, allowing for effective thinning of the substrate. After the substrate is thinned, it is transferred to a second ESC, with the front side facing away from the second ESC. The process also includes cleaning the front side surface of the thinned substrate and transferring it to a third ESC. In this embodiment, the backside of the thinned substrate faces away from the third ESC. Additionally, the invention encompasses processing the backside surface of the thinned substrate and transferring it to a tape frame. Andy Constant holds 1 patent for this innovative technology.
