Multipurpose shower head fixing device and shower fixing device

In some embodiments, a method of forming an integrated circuit includes providing a semiconductor substrate having an electronic circuit formed on a front side, and having a first material layer located over a second side of the substrate and a second material layer located between the first material layer and the second side. At least a portion of the first material layer is removed using a first chemical etching process, thereby exposing the second material layer. At least a portion of the second material layer is removed using a second chemical etching process. A portion of the substrate is then mechanically removed from the second side.

Etching and mechanical grinding film-layers stacked on a semiconductor substrate

In some embodiments, a method includes wet-etching a first film layer of a plurality of film layers stacked on a semiconductor substrate, the wet-etching of the first film layer performed using a first chemical, where the first film layer is an outermost film layer stacked on the semiconductor substrate. The method further includes wet-etching a second film layer of the plurality of film layers using a second chemical. The method also includes using a mechanical grinding wheel to grind the semiconductor substrate to reduce a thickness of the semiconductor substrate.

A chemical solution cleaning process for removing backside contamination prior to metallization involves selective chemistries of a mixture containing NHOH and HOthat may be diluted to specific concentrations depending upon the topside metal and passivation of a semiconductor wafer, which is applied after removing a topside protection material to protect the topside circuitry.
