Abstract: Methods for bonding and de-bonding a thin substrate film to a carrier plate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of processing a semiconductor substrate includes applying a polymer layer that is non-adhesive to a carrier plate formed of a dielectric material. A second layer is then applied to the polymer layer. One or more redistribution layers are then formed on the second layer. The second layer is then separated from the carrier plate via at least one of magnetic induction heating, infrared exposure, or electrostatic repulsion.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods and apparatus for reducing warpage of a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for reducing warpage of a substrate includes heating the substrate with an epoxy layer to at least a glass transition temperature of the epoxy layer while allowing the substrate to expand; subsequently constraining the substrate with a clamping force exerted towards the substrate from a top direction by applying a high pressure gas to the substrate and from a bottom direction by applying a vacuum pressure to the substrate; and rapidly cooling the substrate while the substrate is constrained.
