Abstract

A wafer grinding parameter optimization method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes the following. A natural frequency of a grinding wheel spindle of wafer processing equipment is obtained, and a grinding stability lobe diagram is generated accordingly. A grinding speed is selected based on a speed range of the grinding wheel spindle. Multiple grinding parameter combinations are determined based on the grinding speed. Multiple grinding simulation result combinations corresponding to the grinding parameter combinations are generated. A specific grinding parameter combination is selected based on each of the grinding simulation result combinations, and the wafer processing equipment is set accordingly.
