Screen and Stencil Printing Processes for Wafer Backside Coating

Stencil printing equipment has traditionally been used in the surface mount assembly industry for solder paste printing. In recent years the flexibility of the tool has been exploited for a wide range of materials and processes to aid semiconductor packaging and assembly. One such application has been the depsoition of adhesive coatings onto the backside of silicon wafers.

This paper looks at the application of two totally different epoxy materials to the non active side of silicon wafers – one providing a B-stageble die attach layer and one providing a protective laser-markable cover layer aimed at protecting individual die from damage during dicing.
