[0016] This invention provides a semiconductor bonding method, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of a semiconductor bonding method provided by the present invention, the method comprising steps S11 to S14:

[0017] Step S11: Load the semiconductor onto the fixture in the vacuum chamber and continuously introduce nitrogen gas into the vacuum chamber; wherein, the temperature of the fixture is stabilized at 80℃~120℃, and the flow rate of nitrogen gas is 2.5L / min~5.0L / min;

[0018] Step S12: Perform the first bonding process on the semiconductor using a laser emitting device; wherein the first operating voltage of the laser emitting device is 2.5V to 3.5V, and the first operating time is 1.5S to 2.0S.

[0019] Step S13: Perform a second bonding process on the semiconductor using a laser emitting device; wherein the second operating voltage of the laser emitting device is lower than the first operating voltage, and the second operating voltage is 2.0V to 3.0V, and the second operating time is 0.2S to 0.3S;

[0020] Step S14: Perform a third bonding process on the semiconductor using a laser emitting device; wherein the third operating voltage of the laser emitting device is less than 1.2V and the third operating time is 0.2S.

[0021] Preferably, the output wavelength of the laser emitting device is 600nm to 800nm, the average output power is 45W to 60W, the pulse frequency is 100KHz to 120KHz, the laser pulse width is 10ns to 15ns, and the output spot is a circular spot with a diameter of 0.5mm to 1mm.

[0022] In practice, firstly, the semiconductor is loaded onto a fixture within a vacuum chamber. Cooling water circulates within the machine beneath the material to maintain the fixture temperature between 80°C and 120°C. Nitrogen gas is continuously introduced into the vacuum chamber at a flow rate of 2.5 L / min to 5.0 L / min. Next, a laser emitting device (e.g., a nanosecond-level pulsed fiber laser) is activated to heat the semiconductor, completing the bonding process. This bonding process is performed in three steps without time intervals between them. The process involves three steps: First, using a laser emitting device to perform a first bonding process on the semiconductor at a first working voltage of 2.5V to 3.5V for a first working time of 1.5 to 2.0 seconds. Second, using a laser emitting device to perform a second bonding process on the semiconductor at a second working voltage of 2.0V to 3.0V, where the second working voltage is lower than the first working voltage, and the second working time is 0.2 to 0.3 seconds. Third, using a laser emitting device to perform a third bonding process on the semiconductor at a third working voltage of less than 1.2V for a third working time of 0.2 seconds.

[0023] It should be noted that the output wavelength of the laser emitting device is 600 nm to 800 nm, the average output power is 45 W to 60 W, the pulse frequency is 100 kHz to 120 kHz, the laser pulse width is 10 nanoseconds to 15 nanoseconds, and the laser spot output by the laser emitting device is a circular spot with a diameter of 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

[0024] As an improvement to the above solution, before the first bonding process of the semiconductor using the laser emitting device, the method further includes:

[0025] A focusing lens is positioned between the laser emitting device and the fixture; wherein the distance between the focusing lens and the fixture is 300μm to 500μm.

[0026] Specifically, in conjunction with the above embodiments, in order to prevent the semiconductor surface from becoming too hot due to laser irradiation, a focusing lens can be set between the laser emitting device and the fixture, and the distance between the focusing lens and the fixture is 300 micrometers to 500 micrometers, so as to prevent the semiconductor surface from becoming too hot and burning the semiconductor during the actual heat treatment process.

[0027] In summary, the semiconductor bonding method provided by this invention involves loading the semiconductor onto a fixture within a vacuum chamber and continuously introducing nitrogen gas into the chamber. The temperature of the fixture is stabilized at 80°C to 120°C, and the nitrogen flow rate is 2.5 L / min to 5.0 L / min. A first bonding process is performed on the semiconductor using a laser emitting device. The first operating voltage of the laser emitting device is 2.5V to 3.5V, and the first operating time is 1.5S to 2.0S. A second bonding process is performed using the laser emitting device. The second operating voltage of the laser emitting device is lower than the first operating voltage, and the second operating voltage is 2.0V to 3.0V, with a second operating time of 0.2S to 0.3S. A third bonding process is performed using the laser emitting device. The third operating voltage of the laser emitting device is less than 1.2V, and the third operating time is 0.2S. This method allows for gradual cooling of the semiconductor through stepwise heating during bonding, preventing semiconductor damage, improving product quality, and significantly reducing the scrap rate.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
