Abstract

The invention provides a device and a method for reducing the warping degree of a wafer, and semiconductor equipment. The device comprises a cavity, a carrier, a heating unit, a temperature control unit and a hollow pressing ring. The carrier is located in the cavity and used for carrying a wafer to be processed. The heating unit is located in the cavity and used for heating the wafer. The temperature control unit is connected with the heating unit and used for controlling the heating temperature of the heating unit. The hollow pressing ring is located above the carrier and used for pressing the wafer to reduce the warping degree of the wafer. According to the invention, the heating unit and the temperature control unit are used for adjusting the temperature of the wafer so as to soften the wafer, and the hollow pressing ring is used for pressing the wafer so as to finally reduce the warping degree of the wafer. By using the device to reduce the warping degree of the wafer, the wafer can be better absorbed, the wafer can be moved more easily, the fragmentation rate of the wafer in the moving process can be reduced, and the production yield of the subsequent process can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor chip manufacturing, in particular to a device and method for reducing wafer warpage, and semiconductor equipment. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of semiconductor chip manufacturing technology, the size of wafers is getting larger and larger, the number of chips made on a single wafer is increasing, and the integration density of devices is also increasing, which leads to the warpage of the wafer. (warpage) problem is becoming more and more prominent. There are many reasons for the warpage of the wafer surface. For example, due to the complex chip manufacturing process, dozens or even hundreds of layers of thin films need to be stacked and deposited on the wafer surface. In addition, trench technology is widely used in chip manufacturing, and trenches can increase the warpage problem of the wafer. Wafer warpage will not only reduce the pattern registration accuracy between d...
