Which consequence results when a pulsed laser deposits excessive energy unevenly onto a silicon wafer?

💡 Explanation

Laser-induced backside wrap-through occurs because localized thermal stress exceeds yield strength, leading to wafer distortion, rather than uniform heating optimizing grain boundaries. The underlying mechanism is thermal shock propagation, therefore backside defects appear rather than surface passivation under controlled annealing.
