A PROGRESSIVE TRIMMING METHOD

摘要

The invention provides a method of trimming a structure that includes a first wafer bonded to a second wafer, with the first wafer having a chamfered edge. The method includes a first trimming step carried out over a first depth that includes at least the thickness of the first wafer and over a first width determined from the edge of the first wafer. A second trimming step is then carried out over a second depth that includes at least the thickness of the first wafer and over a second width that is less than the first width.
