  • Patent number: 7704856
    Abstract: A substrate support (201) having a flat supporting surface (201a) is prepared, and a semiconductor substrate (1) is fixed to the substrate supporting surface (201) by attaching a wiring forming surface (1a) to the supporting surface (201a) by suction, for example, by vacuum suction. On this occasion, the wiring forming surface (1a) is forcibly flattened by being attached to the supporting surface (201a) by suction, and therefore the wiring forming surface (1a) becomes a reference plane for planarization of a back surface (1b). In this state, planarization processing is performed by mechanically grinding the back surface (1b) to grind away projecting portions (12) of the back surface (1b). Hence, variations in the thickness of the substrate (especially, semiconductor substrate) are made uniform, and high-speed planarization is realized easily and inexpensively without disadvantages such as dishing and without any limitation on a wiring design.

  • Patent number: 7670940
    Abstract: The plating method comprises the step of forming a resin layer 10 over a substrate 16; the step of cutting the surface part of the resin layer 10 with a cutting tool 12; the step of forming a seed layer 36 on the resin layer 10 by electroless plating; and the step of forming a plating film 44 on the seed layer 36 by electroplating. Suitable roughness can be give to the surface of the resin layer 10, whereby the adhesion between the seed layer 36 and the resin layer 10 can be sufficiently ensured. Excessively deep pores are not formed in the surface of the resin layer 10, as are by desmearing treatment, whereby a micronized pattern of a photoresist film 40 can be formed on the resin layer 10. Thus, interconnections 44, etc. can be formed over the resin layer 10 at a narrow pitch with high reliability ensured.

  • Publication number: 20090186425
    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate (1) is secured by suction to a rear face (1b) of a supporting face (11a) of a substrate supporting table (11). In this event, the thickness of the semiconductor substrate (1) is made fixed by planarization on the rear face (1b), and the rear face (1b) is forcibly brought into a state free from undulation by the suction to the supporting face (11a), so that the rear face (1b) becomes a reference face for planarization of a front face (1a). In this state, a tool (10) is used to cut surface layers of Au projections (2) and a resist mask (12) on the front face (1a), thereby planarizing the Au projections (2) and the resist mask (12) so that their surfaces become continuously flat. This can planarize the surfaces of fine bumps formed on the substrate at a low cost and a high speed in place of CMP.

  • Patent number: 7247524
    Abstract: After a first adhesive layer having high adhesion to a supporting base is locally formed, a second adhesive layer having low adhesion to the supporting base is formed all over the supporting base so as to cover the first adhesive layer. When a wiring structure is separated, a predetermined portion of the wiring structure where the first adhesive layer is formed is cut to thereby separate the integrated wiring structure and second adhesive layer from the first adhesive layer.
