  • Patent number: 9905450
    Abstract: Provided is a substrate for processing a wafer. The present invention can provide a substrate having excellent heat resistance and dimensional stability. The present invention can provide a substrate that has excellent stress relaxation properties, and therefore can prevent a wafer from being destroyed due to residual stress. Also, the present invention can provide a substrate that can prevent a wafer from being damaged or fried off due to a non-uniformly applied pressure during the wafer processing process, and that exhibits excellent cuttability. For these reasons, the substrate can be useful as a sheet for processing a wafer in various wafer preparation processes such as dicing, back-grinding, and picking-up.

  • Patent number: 9902137
    Abstract: A thin metal substrate having high thermal conductivity includes a copper foil layer, an insulating polymer layer and a thermal conductive adhesive layer. The thermal conductive adhesive layer has a resin and a thermal conductive powder dispersed in the resin. The insulating polymer layer is disposed between the copper foil layer and the thermal conductive adhesive layer. Since the thermal conductive adhesive layer has the thermal conductive powder and the insulating polymer layer has insulating and anti-breakdown abilities, the substrate has a reduced thickness, high heat dissipating efficiency and improved insulating performance.
