Why a thin wafers & temporary bonding equipment report?
•This report is an update on two former 2011 Yole reports « Thin Wafer Manufacturing, Equipment & Materials Markets” and “Thin Wafer Market & Applications”.
•Because some thin wafers, specially below 100μm thickness, will need a temporary bonding step, we decide to release this 2012 version bridging the gap between thin wafers and temporary bonding equipment.

•Temporary chemistry forecast 2011-2017
•The report is now covering:
–MEMS
–CMOS Image Sensors (incl. BSI)
–Power Devices
–HBLEDs
–RF
–Memory & Logic
–Interposers and Advanced Packaging
–Photovoltaic
•Compared to 2011, we have identified an increasing use for thin wafers in different applications:
–Some MEMS devices are now using temporary bonding for Discear’s oscillators for example
–Power devices wafer are getting thinner with 300 mm wafers coming, requiring 300 mm temporary bonding tools.
–We now count power MOSFETs as devices requiring temporary bonding.
–CIS’ Back Side Illumination is still a big hit for ultra thin wafers (below 10μ thickness). SONY, SONY ERICSSON, SAMSUNG, APPLE are using BSI CMOS Imagers in their camphones.
–The Temporary Bonding equipment market is still small but 3D ICs will be a big push for this technology
–We have estimated what the ratio for thin wafers using temporary bonding will be. We estimate that 10% of the total thin wafers shipment would go through a temporary bonding step by 2017.

From “standard” thickness to ultra-thin wafers
•The demand for ultra-thin wafers has increased in a wide range of applications such as stacked packages, portable communication devices, smart cards, cellular phones …
•This, in turn, requires new handling technologies. This report is dealing with all thin wafers applications with also a focus on thin wafers requiring temporary bonding step.
High interconnect density:
Aggressive TSV pitch & diameters
IC package devices: Reduced package size and thickness
Power dissipation, higher electrical performance
Technology limit for handling: special equipment and processes are required (e.g. temporary bonding to a support carrier)

Thinned Wafers vs. TOT Number of Shipped Wafers
•By 2017, we estimate the ratio of THIN wafers vs. TOTAL number of wafers (in 300 mm eq.) to be 74%.
•Compared to our 2011 forecasts, a larger growth in thin power devices and 3D stacking explain a larger increase than previously expected.

Why special thin wafer handling technologies?
•New handling techniques for further wafer processing which must be performed on the backside of thin wafers (starting at 100μ thickness) are required such as temporary bonding/debonding technologies.
•Actually, ginding below 50μm of residual thickness results in a great challenge for thinning and handling of ultra thin wafers in both front-end and back-end processes. Indeed, in this thickness range, the Si device wafer becomes fragile and flexible.
•Today, temporary bonding technologies are numerous with no clear winning scenario coming out today.
–We have identified at least 6 different technologies for temporary wafer bonding with carriers.
–Each one of these approaches might have subtle differences in terms of chemistry, carriers…
–Along with these approaches came temporary bonding without carrier and reconstituted wafer for Fan Out WLP. So, the total number of approaches is more than 10 as of today
