Abstract: A method for adhesive bonding in microelectronic device processing is provided that includes bonding a handling wafer to a front side of a device wafer with an adhesive comprising phenoxy resin; and thinning the device wafer from the backside of the device wafer while the device wafer is adhesively engaged to the handling wafer. After the device wafer has been thinned, the adhesive comprising phenoxy resin may be removed by laser debonding, wherein the device wafer is separated from the handling wafer.

Abstract: The absorption properties of both an adhesive layer and an ablation layer are employed to facilitate debonding of a device wafer and a glass handler without damaging the device wafer. The penetration depths of the adhesive and ablation layers are selected such that no more than a negligible amount of the ablation fluence reaches the surface of the device wafer.
