Fabrication of Nanoabrasive Grinding Wheels and Their Application to Grinding Silicon Wafers

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the surface machining of brittle materials, there exists a transition from brittle to ductile modes when the depth of cut is reduced below a critical size using ultrafine abrasive grains. Vitrified grinding wheels containing ultrafine abrasives in the sub-micrometer to nanometer range were fabricated by mechanochemically milling nanoabrasive particles and subsequent viscous sintering of abrasive-binder composites. The grinding characteristics of the nanoabrasive grinding wheels were evaluated for the fine grinding of silicon wafers in terms of a variety of variables. Preliminary wafer grinding results are presented on material removal rate and surface quality of silicon wafers.
