  • Takatori Temporary Bonding Solutions

    Developments in advanced packaging and 3D integration have driven the demand for better ways to work with ultra-thin wafers safely. The need to run thin wafers through processes beyond the standard post-grinding steps (like polishing, detaping and dicing) has driven demand for cost-effective ways to bond ultra-thin wafers to a carrier made of sapphire, glass, silicon, or other materials. Many temporary bonding methods have featured spin-on adhesive, which requires complex, expensive machines. In 2003, Takatori…
