Embodiment 1

[0062] The invention provides a wafer crystal back alignment method. refer to figure 1 , the crystal back alignment method includes:

[0063] S11. Provide a wafer.

[0064] S12. Sending a first laser beam to the wafer to etch a front alignment mark at a first preset position on the front side of the wafer, and sending a second laser beam to the wafer to etch a second alignment mark on the back side of the wafer. The back alignment mark is etched at the preset position, wherein the first preset position and the second preset position are in the same wafer coordinate system. Among them, the front and back of the wafer use the same coordinate system, that is, the coordinates from left to right are the X-axis direction from the center of the wafer as the origin, and the Y-axis direction is upward from the notch (notch) of the wafer. The front (X, Y) coordinates are the back point coordinates.

[0065] S13 , setting the front alignment mark as a front reference for wafer proces...

Embodiment 2

[0072] The crystal back alignment method of the wafer of this embodiment is a further improvement to Embodiment 1, specifically:

[0073] refer to figure 2 , step S11 specifically includes:

[0074] S111 , clamping the edge of a wafer to suspend the etching regions on the front and back of the wafer.

[0075] Before step S12, the crystal back alignment method also includes:

[0076] S14. Send a laser beam to the beam splitter to split the laser beam into a first laser beam and a second laser beam.

[0077] After step S13, the crystal back alignment method also includes:

[0078] S15 , filling and polishing the etched grooves of the front alignment marks, and filling and polishing the etched grooves of the back alignment marks.

[0079] The crystal back alignment method of the wafer in this embodiment uses the first laser beam and the second laser beam separated by the same laser beam to respectively etch the front alignment mark and the back alignment mark, and the front ...

Embodiment 3

[0081] This embodiment provides a wafer back alignment device. The crystal back alignment equipment implements the wafer back alignment method in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0082] refer to image 3 and 4 , the crystal back alignment device includes: a controller 101 . The control system includes a controller 101 ( Figure 4 not shown).

[0083] The controller 101 is used to output control laser emission instructions to emit a first laser beam to the wafer to be aligned to etch a front alignment mark at a first preset position on the front surface of the wafer, and emit a first laser beam to the wafer. Two laser beams etch a back alignment mark at a second preset position on the back side of the wafer, wherein the first preset position and the second preset position are in the same wafer coordinate system, that is, the center of the wafer is The origin coordinates are the X-axis direction from left to right, and the Y-axis direction upward from the notch (notch) of th...

Abstract

The invention provides a wafer back alignment method, wafer back alignment equipment and a photoetching machine. The wafer back alignment method comprises the following steps that a wafer is provided; a first laser beam is emitted to the wafer to etch a front face alignment mark at a first preset position on the front face of the wafer, a second laser beam is emitted to the wafer to etch a back face alignment mark at a second preset position on the back face of the wafer, and the first preset position and the second preset position are located in the same wafer coordinate system; the front alignment mark is set as a front reference for wafer processing, and the back alignment mark is set as a back reference for wafer processing. The method is advantaged in that the front alignment mark and the back alignment mark are etched through the first laser beam and the second laser beam respectively, so the etched front alignment mark and back alignment mark are located in the same wafer coordinate system, operation steps are reduced, calculation of the corresponding relation of multiple coordinate systems is reduced, alignment efficiency and alignment accuracy are improved, and calculation precision is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a wafer crystal back alignment method, wafer crystal back alignment equipment and a photolithography machine. Background technique [0002] Wafer crystal back alignment is a process required for the production of products such as CIS (CMOS Image Sensor, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor image sensor) and IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, insulated gate bipolar transistor). [0003] At present, there are many crystal back alignment methods, and each of these crystal back alignment methods has its own disadvantages, as follows: [0004] 1. CCD (Charge-coupled Device, charge-coupled device) imaging alignment, this alignment method is prone to errors. [0005] 2. Alignment of visible light (or infrared light) after crystal back thinning: [0006] In order to achieve alignment, the thickness of the polished wafer should be less than 5 micro...
