Zusammenfassung:Provided are methods of reducing the stress of a semiconductor wafer. A wafer map of a free-standing wafer is created using metrology tools. The wafer map is then converted into a power spectral density (PSD) using a spatial frequency scale. The fundamental component of bow is then compensated with a uniform film, e.g., silicon nitride (SiN), deposited on the back side of the wafer.
