ABSTRACT:
Processes are described for forming very thin semiconductor die (1 to 10 microns thick) in which a thin layer of the upper surface of the wafer is processed with junction patterns and contacts while the wafer bulk is intact. The top surface is then contacted by a rigid wafer carrier and the bulk wafer is then ground/etched to an etch stop layer at the bottom of the thin wafer. A thick bottom contact is then applied to the bottom surface and the top wafer carrier is removed. All three contacts of a MOSFET may be formed on the top surface in one embodiment or defined by the patterning of the bottom metal contact.
