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.
