Wafer lapping is a global planarization process that improves wafer flatness by removing surface damage, often from backside grinding. It is most common on silicon wafers, although certain applications require gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) wafers to undergo this process as well. Lapping takes place between two counter ...

Wafer thinning or grinding is a technology to reduce the wafer thickness. It is also referred as backgrinding or backthinning. Usually it is performed in several steps with different grinding wheels. With each step the grit becomes finer to remove subsurface damage of the previous step and to further reduce surface roughness.
