Craig,
You can definitely grind and polish silicon wafers to (almost)
whatever thickness you desire. I've used Aptek Industries
(http://www.aptekindustries.com/) with very good results (thinned 525um
to 200um). They were able to thin my wafers on one side without
damaging features on the other side. Good luck,
