METHOD OF PROCESSING A SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER AND PREPROCESSED SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER

摘要

A method of processing a semiconductor wafer (10) is provided. The method comprises the steps of: providing a semiconductor wafer (10) as a semiconductor substrate (12), preprocessing the semiconductor wafer (10) by depositing on the semiconductor wafer (10) at least one additional layer (14, 16), and further processing the preprocessed semiconductor wafer (10). The preprocessing is accomplished in a first factory (18) and the further processing is accomplished in a second factory (20). The present invention is further related to a preprocessed semiconductor wafer (10) an to a system for processing a semiconductor wafer (10).
