; Question 1
: A user tried to etch through a wafer using a carrier and crystalbond as medium (see image below). Even though he ran the standard SPTS process (with 14 % etch load) at 0 degrees, the wafer slid off the carrier. The crystalbond used melts at 65 degrees, is there any type with higher melting point?

; Answer 1
: We usually use Crystalbond 555 or 555HMP, they have flow temps of ~55°C and 65°C respectively.  Wafer temp during process can be in the range 77-80°C depending on etch rate, open area etc. but for most cases,  the wax reflowing during process is not an issue as it is only a wafer piece which is bonded.  Even if the wax reflows, I would expect any major slippage unless the chuck was very much off-level (VERY unlikely) or there was trapped air under the whole wafer which would result in the wafer lifting under vacuum; if the wax then reflows, there could be slippage as the wafer settles back down.  I usually perform a check when the wafer is under vacuum in the loadlock; if it looks lifted, I remove it, back to the hotplate to reposition and try to work the trapped air out.
