Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor processing equipment components technology, and more specifically, it relates to a special metal chamfering wheel for semiconductor silicon carbide wafers and its processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) wafers, as representatives of third-generation semiconductors, possess properties such as wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, and high critical breakdown electric field, making them one of the ideal substrate materials for manufacturing high-temperature, high-frequency, and high-power power electronic devices. They also have broad application prospects in new energy vehicles, photovoltaic power generation, and smart grids. Edge chamfering is a critical process in SiC wafer manufacturing. The edges of SiC wafers are prone to stress concentration during handling and subsequent processes. Without chamfering, this can easily lead to edge chipping, microcracks, and even fragmentation, affecting the yield of the SiC wafers. Edge chamfering relies heavily on chamfering wheels, whose performance directly affects the processing accuracy, surface quality, and production efficiency of the SiC wafers. Traditional chamfering wheels have relatively poor wear resistance and thermal conductivity. After long-term friction with the SiC wafer, the surface of the chamfering wheel is prone to wear and indentation, easily causing quality defects such as SiC wafer chipping. Simultaneously, the grinding heat generated during processing cannot be dissipated in time, leading to heat accumulation and thermal deformation of the SiC wafer, further reducing the yield. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To improve the wear resistance and thermal conductivity of the chamfering wheel, this application provides a special metal chamfering wheel for semiconductor silicon carbide wafers and its processing technology.

It has the advantages of high hardness, good thermal conductivity, excellent wear resistance, and high stability in the grinding process, which are significantly better than the performance of traditional chamfering wheels and are suitable for silicon carbide wafer processing scenarios.
[0006] The raw materials for specialized metal chamfering wheels utilize copper-tin powder as a binder phase to enhance bonding strength and ensure density; micron-sized diamond as a wear-resistant phase to improve hardness, wear resistance, and friction resistance; cobalt powder to construct a high-strength skeleton, strengthening the bond between the micron-sized diamond and the binder, and improving impact resistance and thermal conductivity; and silver powder to optimize lubrication, further enhancing wear resistance and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, silicon nitride powder is added, dispersed within the matrix, serving as a dispersion reinforcement, load support, and grain refinement agent.

[0027] Optionally, in step S3, the cold pressing pressure is 300-400KN and the time is 5-8min.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure and time of cold pressing are optimized, which facilitates the cold pressing of mixed powder, ensures the formation of green blanks with beveling wheel, and has good density and strength, which facilitates subsequent processing.
[0029] In several implementations, the cold pressing pressure is 350 kN and the time is 5 min. The pressure can also be set to 300 kN, 400 kN, etc., and the time can be set to 5 min, 8 min, etc., as needed. However, it is not limited to the listed values.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solutions, the surface roughness of the working surface is optimized, the friction coefficient is reduced, which helps to reduce the maximum chipping size and improve the stability of the grinding process of the special metal chamfering wheel.

[0051] Example 5 A special metal chamfering wheel for semiconductor silicon carbide wafers differs from Example 1 in that the silicon nitride powder in the raw material of the special metal chamfering wheel is pretreated before use.
[0052] Silicon nitride powder undergoes the following pretreatment before use: T1. At a rotation speed of 350 r / min, add 15 g of ferric nitrate nonahydrate and 5 g of dispersant to 300 g of water, and stir for 3 min. Then adjust the pH to 2, add 100 g of silicon nitride powder, sonicate for 30 min, and let stand for 4 h. After that, filter and wash twice with water, using 100 g of water each time.

[0056] Comparative Example Comparative Example 1 A special metal chamfering wheel for semiconductor silicon carbide wafers differs from Example 1 in that an equal amount of cobalt powder is used to replace silicon nitride powder in the raw materials of the special metal chamfering wheel, and the raw material ratio of the special metal chamfering wheel is shown in Table 1.
[0057] Comparative Example 2 A special metal chamfering wheel for semiconductor silicon carbide wafers differs from that in Example 1 in that the amount of copper-tin powder, cobalt powder, and silicon nitride powder added to the raw materials of the special metal chamfering wheel is different, and the raw material ratio of the special metal chamfering wheel is shown in Table 1.
[0058] Comparative Example 3 A special metal beveling wheel for semiconductor silicon carbide wafers differs from Example 1 in that the amounts of copper-tin powder and cobalt powder added to the raw materials of the special metal beveling wheel are different, and the raw material ratio of the special metal beveling wheel is shown in Table 1. Performance Testing The special metal chamfering wheels obtained in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were taken as samples, and the following performance tests were performed on the special metal chamfering wheels. The test results are shown in Table 3.
[0059] The hardness of the special metal chamfering wheel was tested in accordance with GB / T230.1-2018 "Metallic materials Rockwell hardness test - Part 1: Test method".
[0060] The thermal conductivity of the special metal chamfering wheel was tested according to ASTM E1461-2013, "Standard Test Method for Determination of Thermal Diffusivity by Flash Method".
[0061] When this metal sintered grinding wheel is used in the beveling process of semiconductor silicon carbide wafers, the product yield will deteriorate as the surface layer of diamond wears off and exposes the next layer of diamond. Therefore, it is stopped after the surface layer of diamond is worn off, and the wear of the metal beveling wheel that has been taken out of service is tested.
[0062] The maximum chipping size was determined using the following method: A dedicated metal chamfering wheel was used to chamfer the silicon carbide wafer, resulting in a chamfered silicon carbide wafer. Then, according to T / IAWBS 021-2024 "Method for Inspecting the Edge Contour of Silicon Carbide Wafers," the edge of the chamfered silicon carbide wafer was inspected, and the maximum chipping size was measured. A smaller maximum chipping size indicates a smoother grinding process using the dedicated metal chamfering wheel, meaning better grinding process stability.
[0063] Table 3 Test Results As shown in Table 3, the special metal chamfering wheel of this application possesses high hardness and thermal conductivity, with a hardness of HRC 61-66 and a thermal conductivity of 85.2-91.4 W / (m·K), exhibiting characteristics of high hardness and good thermal conductivity. Furthermore, it also exhibits low wear and a low maximum chipping size; after the metal chamfering wheel reaches the end of its service life, the wear is <0.03 mm and the maximum chipping size is <10 μm, demonstrating excellent wear resistance and high stability during the grinding process. In other words, the special metal chamfering wheel of this application, through the interaction of the raw materials, possesses the advantages of high hardness, good thermal conductivity, excellent wear resistance, and high stability during the grinding process, exhibiting good comprehensive performance and being suitable for processing silicon carbide wafers.
[0064] Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 were compared. In Example 1, silicon nitride powder was added to the raw material of the special metal chamfering wheel, compared to Comparative Example 1. It can be seen that adding silicon nitride powder to the raw material effectively improves hardness, thermal conductivity, wear resistance, and grinding process stability. This is likely because silicon nitride powder, dispersed in the matrix, acts as a dispersion reinforcement, inhibits grain growth during sintering, refines grain size, and also forms a self-lubricating effect, increasing hardness and reducing wear. Simultaneously, it eliminates interfacial gaps, acts as a thermal bridge, provides a rapid channel for heat transfer, enhances the thermal network, increases thermal conductivity, improves microstructure, increases microstructure stability, makes the grinding process smoother, and reduces the maximum chipping size.
[0065] Comparative Examples 2-3 and Example 1 were compared. The raw materials for the special metal chamfering wheel in Comparative Example 2 contained 65% copper-tin powder, 25% cobalt powder, and no silicon nitride powder. The raw materials for the special metal chamfering wheel in Comparative Example 3 contained 63% copper-tin powder, 25% cobalt powder, and 2% silicon nitride powder. The raw materials for the special metal chamfering wheel in Example 1 contained 25% copper-tin powder, 63% cobalt powder, and 2% silicon nitride powder. It can be seen that significantly increasing the amount of copper-tin powder and decreasing the amount of cobalt powder in the raw materials causes the special metal chamfering wheel to lose its high-strength skeleton, thus reducing its performance. Furthermore, by setting the raw materials and their proportions within the scope of this application, and utilizing their synergistic effects, the special metal chamfering wheel can exhibit superior overall performance.
[0066] Example 1 and Example 5 were compared. In Example 1, silicon nitride powder was added to the raw material of the special metal chamfering wheel; in Example 5, pretreated silicon nitride powder was added to the raw material of the special metal chamfering wheel. It can be seen that pretreating the silicon nitride powder and loading elemental iron onto it can enhance interfacial bonding, improve interfacial strength, reduce interfacial defects, enhance toughness, and increase hardness and wear resistance. Furthermore, it can further eliminate interfacial gaps, which is beneficial for heat transfer and improves thermal conductivity. Simultaneously, it can improve the uniformity of silicon nitride powder dispersion, ensure the continuity and sharpness of grinding, make the grinding process smoother, and reduce the maximum chipping size.
