Double‐sided transistor device processability of carrierless ultrathin silicon wafers

Abstract Double‐sided metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field‐effect‐transistor processing is demonstrated for the first time on an ultrathin crystalline silicon substrate of 6‐20 μm in a 100 mm diameter wafer format without a carrier wafer, the thinnest free‐standing silicon wafers ever fabricated. The com...
