Introduction
Manfred Kraxenberger is a notable inventor based in Ottendorf-Okrilla, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, particularly through his innovative methods that enhance production efficiency and quality.
Latest Patents
Kraxenberger holds a patent for a "Method for clamping a semiconductor device in a manufacturing process." This patent describes a technique for clamping a semiconductor wafer, especially those with a diameter of 300 mm or larger. The method involves depositing at least one encapsulating material layer over both the front and backside of the wafer. The front side material layer is selectively etched to create a predetermined structure. The process addresses wafer warpage caused by unequal bowing stress of the material layer. By partially or completely removing the material layer on the backside, the bowing stress and resultant warpage can be reduced. The semiconductor device is then clamped using electrostatic, physical, or vacuum methods during the manufacturing process.
