A method of performing a double-sided process is provided. First, a wafer having a structural pattern disposed on the front surface is provided. Following that, a plurality of front scribe lines are defined on the structural pattern, and a filling layer is filled into the front scribe lines. Subsequently, the structural pattern is bonded to a carrier wafer with a bonding layer, and a plurality of back scribe lines are defined on the back surface of the wafer. Finally, the filling layer filled in the front scribe lines is removed.

Method of performing a double-sided process

A method of fabricating a suspended structure. First, a substrate including a photoresist layer hardened by heat is provided. Subsequently, the hardened photoresist layer is etched so as to turn the photoresist layer into a predetermined edge profile. Thereafter, a structure layer is formed on parts of the substrate and parts of the photoresist layer. Next, a dry etching process is performed so as to remove the photoresist layer, and to turn the structure layer into a suspended structure.

Method of fabricating suspended structure

A wafer carrier for carrying a wafer includes a transparent base and a conducting layer. The transparent base has dimensions similar to that of the wafer, and bonds the wafer with a bonding layer. The conducting layer is transparent, and can be attracted by an electrostatic chuck so that the electrostatic chuck can deliver the wafer.

Wafer carrier

A method of forming a suspended structure is disclosed. Initially, a substrate is provided. A patterned first sacrificial layer and a patterned second sacrificial layer are formed on a front surface of the substrate. The second sacrificial layer has an opening exposing a part of the substrate and a part of the first sacrificial layer. A structural layer is formed covering the abovementioned sacrificial layers. Thereafter, a lift-off process is performed to remove the second sacrificial layer and define the pattern of the structural layer. A first etching process is performed on a back surface of the substrate utilizing the first sacrificial layer as an etching barrier and a through hole is formed under the first sacrificial layer. A second etching layer is performed to remove the first sacrificial layer and a suspended structure is thereby formed.

Method of forming suspended structure

First, a device wafer having a substrate layer and a device layer is provided. Then, a first mask pattern is utilized to remove the device layer uncovered by the first mask pattern. Subsequently, a medium layer is formed on the surface of the device wafer, and the medium layer is then bonded to a carrier wafer. Thereafter, a second mask pattern is utilized to remove the substrate layer uncovered by the second mask pattern. Finally, the medium layer is separated from the carrier wafer, the substrate layer is bonded to an extendable film, and the medium layer is then removed.

Method of segmenting a wafer

A wafer, having at least a spindle region and at least two through regions alongside the spindle region, is provided. The wafer in the spindle region is partially removed from the bottom surface. Thereafter, the bottom surface is bonded to a carrier with a bonding layer, and the wafer in the through regions is completely removed from the top surface.

Method of double-sided etching

A first wafer is provided, and a photosensitive masking-and-bonding pattern is formed on the surface of the first wafer. Then, an etching process using the photosensitive masking-and-bonding pattern as a hard mask is performed to form a wafer pattern on the surface of the first wafer. Finally, the first wafer is bonded to a second wafer with the photosensitive masking-and-bonding pattern.

Method for bonding wafers

A method of etching cavities having different aspect ratios. An etching stop layer is formed on the bottom surface of a substrate, and a mask pattern is formed on the top surface of the substrate. The mask pattern includes a plurality of sacrificial patterns positioned on both a first cavity predetermined region and a second cavity predetermined region. Then, an etching process is performed to remove the substrate not covered by the mask layer. Then, the etching stop layer is removed, as well as the sacrificial patterns and the substrate covered by the sacrificial patterns.

Method of etching cavities having different aspect ratios

A method of forming a wafer backside interconnecting wire includes forming a mask layer on the back surface, the mask layer including at least an opening corresponding to the bonding pad, performing a first etching process from the back surface to remove the wafer unprotected by the mask layer to form a recess, removing the mask layer, and forming an interconnecting wire on the back surface.
