Hi Craig,
we use oxide wafers from which the oxide has been strippe on one side using
BOE, and then use a hot TMAH solution (~20%) to wet etch the backside down
to what we need.

Subject: [mems-talk] Wafer Thickness


Hello,

I am process restricted to using a 400 um thick silicon wafer but require a
thickness of 300 um.  Is there a possibility of using some kind of
post-processing "grinding" step or something similar to achieve this? What
would be the practical concerns of performing this if it is possible?

Regards,
Craig
