Thinning 8” wafers to 50 µm • Development with commercial supplier for wafer services • First trial to thin blank 8” silicon wafers to 50 microns • 13 wafers successfully thinned to 50 microns and diced in various die sizes: • 15 mm x 30 mm (basic size) and multiples of it • Used for dummy module construction • Next step: thinning of patterned 8” wafers (daisy chain structure for electrical connection tests) to be completed by end May 2012 15 mm x 60 mm silicon die (50 µm thick)
Next steps – Rockwood thinning • Sent 8 wafers back to Rockwood to be removed from tape with pick-and-place machine • ~70 pieces 15 mm x 30 mm and ~ 24 pieces 15 mm x 60 mm available • Prepare for building dummy modules as discussed with WG4 (mechanics, bus cables, glue) • Prepare layout for “intelligent dummies” (Antoine) • Purchase blanks (specs as Tower/Jazz wafers without epi layer) • DBG (dice before grinding) will used for next thinning trials.
Hybrid Dummies • First assemblies delivered from IZM • 8 single chip assemblies • 2 ALICE type ladders • Chip thickness: 50 um • Sensor thickness: 100 um • ALICE pixels 50 um x 425 um
Next steps - IZM • Measure thickness of elements (SEM, metrology) • Invesitgate bow of assemblies (though no real components!) • Send for 3D X-ray one assembly • Few more assemblies in pipeline at IZM
