Abstract

See full text

A multi-axis flattening tool and method are described. In an example, the multi-axis flattening tool includes a support structure to constrain a bowed wafer along a support perimeter, and a pair of flattening structures independently movable relative to the support structure. For example, a first flattening structure may grip the wafer within the support perimeter and move axially relative to the support structure to bend the wafer about a first plane, and a second flattening structure may grip the wafer within the support perimeter and move axially relative to the support structure to bend the wafer about a second plane orthogonal to the first plane. The multi-axis bending of the wafer may flatten the wafer.
