An apparatus for cooling a semiconductor element is provided. The apparatus can include an electron emitter configured to emit electrons such that at least some of the emitted electrons become attached to air particulates and an air accelerator configured to generate an electric field that accelerates the air particulates toward the air accelerator to create an air flow over at least a portion of the semiconductor element. The air flow carries heat away from the at least a portion of the semiconductor element.

Methods for holding a workpiece with a hydrostatic pad are disclosed herein. The pad includes hydrostatic pockets formed in a face of the body directly opposed to the wafer. The pockets are adapted for receiving fluid through the body and into the pockets to provide a barrier between the body face and the workpiece while still applying pressure to hold the workpiece during grinding. The hydrostatic pads allow the wafer to rotate relative to the pads about their common axis. The pockets are oriented to reduce hydrostatic bending moments that are produced in the wafer when the grinding wheels shift or tilt relative to the hydrostatic pads, helping prevent nanotopology degradation of surfaces of the wafer commonly caused by shift and tilt of the grinding wheels.

摘要:
A double side grinder comprises a pair of grinding wheels and a pair of hydrostatic pads operable to hold a flat workpiece (e.g., semiconductor wafer) so that part of the workpiece is positioned between the grinding wheels and part of the workpiece is positioned between the hydrostatic pads. At least one sensor measures a distance between the workpiece and the respective sensor for assessing nanotopology of the workpiece. In a method of the invention, a distance to the workpiece is measured during grinding and used to assess nanotopology of the workpiece. For instance, a finite element structural analysis of the workpiece can be performed using sensor data to derive at least one boundary condition. The nanotopology assessment can begin before the workpiece is removed from the grinder, providing rapid nanotopology feedback. A spatial filter can be used to predict the likely nanotopology of the workpiece after further processing.

摘要:
A method for estimating the likely waviness of a wafer after polishing based upon an accurate measurement of the waviness of the wafer in an as-cut condition, before polishing. The method measures the thickness profile of an upper and lower wafer surface to construct a median profile of the wafer in the direction of wiresaw cutting. The median surface is then passed through an appropriate Gaussian filter, such that the warp of the resulting profile estimates whether the wafer will exhibit unacceptable waviness in a post-polished stage.
