2nd, auxiliary layer is formed on silicon chip back side;
3rd, the thickness of auxiliary layer is measured;
4th, epitaxial growth is carried out on front side of silicon wafer, subsidiary unnecessary epitaxial layer can be formed on auxiliary layer at this time;
5th, the thickness of auxiliary layer is measured again;
6th, the thickness of unnecessary epitaxial layer that the thickness difference measured twice is as incidentally formed.
But this process is cumbersome, needs to form special auxiliary layer, cost is higher.
In view of this, current a kind of new measuring method in need, to improve the shortcomings that above-mentioned.
