Wafer jig, wafer structure and wafer processing method
Provided is a wafer jig including a bottom wall and a ring-shaped side wall. The bottom wall has a supporting surface. The ring-shaped side wall is connected to a periphery of the bottom wall. The ring-shaped side wall includes at least two step portions. The two step portions include a first step portion and a second step portion. The first step portion is connected between the supporting surface and the second step portion, and the first step portion protrudes along a direction toward a center of the bottom wall. The ring-shaped side wall surrounds the center. In addition, a wafer structure and a wafer processing method are also provided.
1 . A wafer processing method, comprising:
providing a wafer jig, wherein the wafer jig comprises a bottom wall and a ring-shaped side wall, the bottom wall has a supporting surface, the ring-shaped side wall comprises at least two step portions, the at least two step portions comprise a first step portion and a second step portion, the first step portion is connected between the supporting surface and the second step portion, the first step portion protrudes toward a center of the bottom wall with respect to the second step portion, and the ring-shaped side wall surrounds the center;
bonding a wafer to the supporting surface, wherein a periphery of the wafer contacts the first step portion, and a gap exists between the periphery of the wafer the second step portion;
performing an epitaxy process on the wafer; and
separating the wafer from the wafer jig,
wherein the bonding the wafer to the supporting surface comprises bonding the wafer to the supporting surface by performing a thermocompression bonding process or an oxide layer bonding process.
2 . The wafer processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the separating the wafer from the wafer jig comprises:
cutting the wafer jig to remove the second step portion and at least a part of the first step portion;
forming an adhesive layer on the epitaxial wafer; and
removing a part of the wafer and the wafer jig by a grinding process or a laser process.
3 . The wafer processing method according to claim 1 , wherein bonding the wafer to the supporting surface comprises bonding the wafer to the supporting surface through an oxide layer bonding process, the separating the wafer from the wafer jig comprises removing an oxide layer between the wafer and the wafer jig, and the wafer processing method further comprises:
thinning the wafer after the wafer is separated from the wafer jig.
4 . The wafer processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the separating the wafer from the wafer jig comprises separating a part of the wafer from the wafer jig by performing a laser process, and the wafer processing method further comprises:
removing another part of the wafer remaining on the wafer jig after the part of the wafer is separated from the wafer jig.
