Abstract
A method for the generation of stacking-fault-induced damage on the back of emiconductor wafers is by treating the back with loose hard-material particles which are suspended in a liquid. The back of the semiconductor wafer is brought into contact with the suspended hard-material particles and the hard-material particles are propelled tangentially to the back, under which circumstances they exert on the back of the semiconductor wafer forces which have essentially only tangentially directed components.
