  • Patent number: 8212345
    Abstract: A backgrinding machine 10 of a semiconductor wafer W includes: a table 13 set on the working plane of a mount 11; a multiple number of holding jigs 20 arranged via check tables 15 on table 13; a grinding machine 30 for performing a grinding process of the rear side of semiconductor wafer W held by holding jig 20; and a washing device 40 for ground semiconductor wafers W. Each holding jig 20 is constructed of a concave 22 depressed on the surface of a base plate 21, a multiple number of supporting projections 23 projectively arrayed on the bottom surface of concave 22, a deformable contact film 24, covering the concave 22, being supported by the multiple supporting projections 23, for detachably holding semiconductor wafer W in close contact with it; and an exhaust path 25 for conducting air from the concave 22 covered by contact film 24 to the outside.

  • Publication number: 20060243620
    Abstract: An object is to provide a fixing carrier, a fixing carrier manufacturing method, a method of using the fixing carrier and a substrate storage container, which provide proper shipment of items to be loaded that are prone to warp and crack. A base 2 having rigidity is hollowed on its surface and formed with a sectioned space 3 laminated and covered by a supporting layer 8 that supports semiconductor wafer W, multiple projections 4 that are formed in the sectioned space and supports supporting layer 8 in contact therewith and an exhaust passage 6 that is bored through base 2 and draws air out of sectioned space 3 covered by supporting layer 8. Since semiconductor wafer W that is prone to warp and crack is supported by supporting layer 8 of a fixing carrier 1 and accommodated in the container body of a substrate storage container, instead of being kept directly in the container, so it is possible to achieve safe and proper shipment between factories.
